"WALTER W. WHIPPLE, Commission Merchant and Wholesale Dealer in Butter, Eggs, Cheese, Poultry, No. 95 to 99 Canal Street. -- The remarkable development of the general produce commission interests of Providence during the past quarter of a century, is well worthy of more than ordinary consideration in these pages. During the period mentioned, a number of large and flourishing concerns devoted to the wholesale handling of butter, cheese, eggs and general produce, have been started, and the number continues to increase. A prosperous, reliable and popular house among the number referred to, is that of Mr. Walter W. Whipple, commission merchant and wholesale dealer in butter, eggs, etc., whose ably conducted establishment is located at No. 137 Canal Street, and whose business connections are of a most substantial character. This stanch and responsible house was founded originally on this thoroughfare in 1878, by Mr. Whipple, who is a native of North Providence, and is at present State Senator, to which position he has lately been elected for a second term. He has been a member of the Legislature for the past four years, and has filled the office with dignity and signal ability, to the entire satisfaction of his constituents and the public at large, by whom he is esteemed as an honorable and worthy representative. He early developed a very large and substantial trade, which grew to such proportions that he was obliged to seek more commodious quarters and better facilities to meet its demands, and in 1882, he removed to the Gorham Building, at Nos. 95 to 99 Canal Street, where his premises are four times as large as those formerly occupied, and where every facility is at hand for the successful prosecution of the business. Having superior connections with shippers and producers throughout the New England, Middle and Western States, including a branch house under the firm title of Whipple & Company, at Oskaloosa, Iowa, he is in constant receipt of large consignments daily. The premises utilized are of ample dimensions, commodious and fully provided with every facility for the successful transaction of business, including telephone connections, etc. The consignments received are from the best producing regions and embrace choice dairy and fancy creamery butter and cheese, fresh laid eggs, live and dressed poultry, a specialty being made of spring chickens, capons and New England reared turkeys. He also receives all kinds of game in season. A waiting market is found for all consignments, which are handled with care and judgment and highest ruling prices obtained, special care being given to prompt and correct returns, and when desired liberal advances are made. Receiving and handling only the best class of goods, his establishment is a noted headquarters for first-class retailers, city and summer-resort hotel-keepers, to procure supplies. Mr. Whipple is a young man of superior business ability, courteous and popular, and enjoys the confidence and esteem of all with whom he has dealings."
