ALEXANDER GORDON, the senior member of the firm of Gordon & Manville, 
wholesale liquors, is a Scotchman, and was born in London in 1815. For a 
period of fifteen years - from 1832 to 1857 - he was in the drug business in 
Aberdeen, Scotland, when he emigrated to America; came to La Crosse in the 
spring of 1858, going into the grocery business. In the fall he joined a Mr. 
Morse in opening up a liquor business, which has grown from a beginning of 
$10,000 to $100,000 a year.
