Moses Black
To your left is a good likeness of Moses Black, the well known dry goods merchant who for the past twenty-four years has been in the trade at the place he now occupies, the corner of Main and West Market, or, as it is now called, Park Avenue West. Mr. Black was born in the north of Ireland, county Donegal, in 1836, and came to America at the age of nineteen. He came to this city in 1859, where he has since been engaged in business continuously. His long experience in his line has given him a thorough knowledge of the trade in all its details and in a business way, as socially, he has maintained a worthy pace among Mansfield's tradesmen and citizens.
