This firm composed of O.H.P. BROWN and Samuel S. HAMILTON was organized in 1878, when the partners bought the store of Joseph GILLILAND, at No. 35, Washington street. The Company has remained in the same store room ever since. The store originally carried a stock of trimmings, embroideries, notions, etc. But Brown & Hamilton a short time after they took possession added a very large stock of dry goods to the other line of goods. The success of the new firm was phenomenal from the moment they took possession and to-day they have as good a trade as any store in the city. About the beginning of the present year the firm purchased the building, and soon after built a large addition which extends the store many feet back and affords a much better light than formerly. There is not a store in New Castle that has better light than the store room of Brown & Hamilton. The room is fitted with the rapid cash transit system, while at night and on dark days electric light lamps of hundreds of candle power hang in every part of the room casting rays of light in all the corners. The store is tastily arranged, and polite lady and gentlemen clerks take pleasure in showing the array of goods to all who call. Dry goods of every description can be found there, while the firm carry the largest stock of trimmings, millinery goods, lace curtains, upholstery goods and tapestry in the city. Ladies' and gents' underwear of different varieties constitute a specialty with the firm. Hosiery in endless variety, white goods, dress goods, millinery trimmings have each their respective places. By the way, this firm make a special effort in the millinery line, and have a corps of competent milliners in their employ. You will always be fairly and honestly dealt with when you call on Brown & Hamilton. By strict attention to business and selling the best of goods for the lowest possible prices, Brown & Hamilton have now a name and trade they may well be proud of.
