F. W. Heath & Co., Brokers and Investing Agents, Main Street

Intimately identified with the fundiciary institutions of this city and state, and as brokers in money notes, stocks, bonds and real estate, in the
house of F. W. Heath & Co. of this city, in its transactions in the various departments, assumes an importance scarcely second to any other establishment
in this section of the state. There are few instances in which individual effort and enterprise have been more marked than is shown in the instance
of the senior member of this firm, who has secured his present position in business and commercial circles by his own unaided efforts. This house
dates its origin to 1873, at which time it commenced in a comparatively small way – as dealers, in real estate – since which time their operations
have widened in their scope and volume until his annual transactions involves large proportions. With ample facilities for collections in the handling
of reliable negotiable paper, about two years ago they opened a bank of discount, in which they negotiate loans buy and sell authentic commercial paper,
notes, stocks and bonds and make a specialty of making investments for capitalists. In their real estate transactions they control city lots and pro-
perty, valuable farms in various sections of this and other states and territories, enjoy unsurpassed advantages for transactions in this department.
They also give attention to the payment of taxes for nonresidents and to the examination of titles in the preparation of abstracts of title. The indiv-
idual members of this firm are Fred. W. Heath and George L. Lennon, both of whom enjoy an enviable reputation, both as businessmen and careful and
accomplished financiers. In their association with the business interests of the city and state, they have exhibited that enterprise and correct busi-
ness policy which is served to promote their popularity and at the same time contributed in no small degree to the progressive interests of the section
of the state. This article in all its literary responsibility is the voluntary expression of the editors of this work.
