Quincy Merchants Show Large Wholesale Stock Movement
The rapid growth of Quincy's wholesale trade was illustrated by merchants shipping substantial stocks of goods to distant Indian Territory partners 1500 miles away. Goods arrive by rail to Santa Fe and are hauled the wageless remainder, proving Quincy cheaper than rivals west of the Mississippi. Local firms include B J Tever & Co, King Wary Blinbend & Co, Wood Bros, and Wurthe Mayer. Wheat rates reflect strong credit for Quincy and its energetic merchants.
