A. W. PITTINGER, of the firm of Fishwick & Pittinger, merchants, Foster's Crossing. Mr. Pittinger was born in Cincinnati in 1852, where he was reared to mercantile pursuits, being educated in one of the leading houses in the city; his literary education was received in the city schools, and, in addition, took a full commercial course in Bartlett's College; he worked as a salesman in the city until August, 1878, at which time he came to Foster's Crossing and embarked in his present enterprise with Mr. Fishwick; he has the exclusive business management of the house—a responsibility he is fully competent to discharge, as there are few indeed who are better posted in the different branches of merchandising than Mr. Pittinger; his large store is always full of the best and most seasonable goods in the market, and by fair dealing he has built up a trade that has extended to the very doors of other dealers in adjoining towns. May 17, 1875, he was married to Lucy Fishwick, daughter of his partner. Mrs. Pittinger is a cultured lady, an excellent saleswoman, and is as thoroughly posted in their business as her husband. |
