**********************************************************************

Mayers & Bennett, dealers in boots and shoes, 415 Felix Street.  Among
those who occupy a conspicuous place in the city's commercial circles
and have contributed a full share towards its reputation, is the above
firm.  Mr. C. F. Mayers, the senior member, is a native of Switzerland,
where he was born in 1820.  He is of German and Swiss lineage, and was
raised and learned the watchmaking trade in his native country.  In
1848, he came to America, and for ten years pursued his vocation as a
jeweler, in the city of New York, after which he came West, and until
1870 was engaged in various pursuits in Colorado and other parts of the
distant west.  In that year he came to St. Joseph, Missouri, where he
has since been a resident, engaged in the boot and shoe trade.  He is
a man of clear judgement, quick comprehension, and a close applicant
to his business details.  The boot and shoe house of Mayers & Bennett
is well stocked with a line of superior goods, and their trade lucra-
tive and steadily on the increase.  They are representative gentlemen
of the truest type and well merit their success.
