The firm of Beck & Salway was formed in 1888, by William Beck and John E. Salway. Their place of business
is in the Exchange building on Court street, where they keep a large stock of flour: feed, grain, hay, and fertilizers.
William Beck, the senior member of the firm, is an Englishman, and came here in 1870. and for 10 years was engaged
in raising hops, having charge of the yards of C. D. Lane, of Batavia. He was finally employed in Parsons's flour
and feed store, and became a partner under the firm name of Beck & Parsons. They dissolved in 1888, and Mr.
Beck became a partner of John E. Dalway, who is also a native of England. He came to America in 1872, and in 1875
to this county. For to years he was with John Garwood, the miller of Bushville, and subsequently in the employment
of Mr. Parsons, until the above firm was established. The firm has excellent facilities for the prosecution of
its business, and handles reliable brands of goods only.
