PETER M. RHODES

Peter M. Rhodes, son of Jacob S., was born at Wheeling, in 1847. He 
was reared in the city, and there received his education in the 
public schools.  In about 1860, he began his business career as 
package boy in his father's establishment, and rose from that to the 
position of clerk.  He continued in that capacity until about 1867, 
when he was given an interest in the business, and for some time 
before his father's death, he was manager of the business.  He has 
since that event, conducted the business ably in behalf of the 
estate, and has maintained the high reputation of the establishment.
