The Copper City Commercial Company of Anaconda, is one of the 
great business houses of Montana. 

It was organized February 22, 1892, by Messrs. Marcus Daly, D. 
J. Hennissy, D.F. Halishan, M. Donahue and J.S. Dougherty, 
with a capital stock of $150,000.

After the company was organized its first step was toward the 
erection of a fine brick block in Anaconda. This block is 
located on the corner of Main Street and Commercial 
Avenue; is 76 x 130 feet, with two stories and a basement; 
is arranged for a department store and is filled from top to 
bottom with an elegant stock of merchandise, the departments 
being as follows: dry goods, carpets, boots and shoes, clothing, 
furnishing goods,hats and groceries. The clothing, , furnishing 
goods and grocery departments show the largest sales and as 
they do both a wholesale and retail trade their business is very 
large. In addition to this establishment they have a branch store 
at Carroll, where they employ four men. At Anaconda they employ 
thirty-four men.

The whole business is under the competent management of Mr. 
George Tighe, who was formerly with the well-known firm of 
Marshall Field and Company, Chicago.
