D. L. M’WILLIAMS, HEAD SALESMAN AT L. O. WOLK'S.
L. O. Wolk, the "Busy Grocer," is a native of Kewanee, Ill., but came
to El Paso in 1864, before he had finished his first year's experience
in this world. He has grown up with the city and its interests. His first
experience in merchandizing was with J. M. Dunn, in 1877, since which time
he has been actively engaged in business, either as employee or employer.
The present business was established in 1889, in the old Eagle Block, and
in 1891, together with the Palace of Trade, with which house they were
connected, they moved to their present location, just east of the Illinois
Central. The business has been large from the start, and Mr. Wolk, who
is now the sole proprietor, has made the name "Hustling Grocer" a veritable
truth. He has made the fruit and berry business a specialty, and is a wholesaler
in poultry, eggs, etc., and during the year handles a wonderful amount
of country produce.
