C. T. Rosenthal, dealer in hardware, stoves, tin-ware, etc., Batesville. Among the resources of the town of Batesville, which go to make up its commercial fabric, the trade carried on in hardware, stoves, tin-ware, etc., forms a most important feature. Prominent among those engaged in it is Mr. C. T. Rosenthal, who has been in this line of business for twenty-five years. In 1865 he engaged as clerk in the wholesale hardware house of Pratt & Fox, then the largest hardware firm in St. Louis. He remained with them over three years, after which he went to Helena, M. T., and there worked for Clark, Conrad & Miller for a short time. He then returned to St. Louis and entered the firm of Adolphus Meier & Co., remaining with them about three years, or until they sold out to McCombs, Keller & Byrnes, with whom he remained until 1878, although the firm again changed, this time to McCombs, Caruth & Byrnes. At the above mentioned date, Mr. Rosenthal came to Batesville, Ark., engaging in business for himself. The first two years the firm was Rosenthal & Stritter, and since that time he has carried on the business alone. He has one of the neatest and best stocked hardware stores in Arkansas. Mr. Rosenthal has been an alderman three terms, and was school director for one term of two years. He owns the building that he occupies, which is a large two-story stone building, and which he has had erected since coming to Batesville. He does a good business, carries a large stock of goods, and employs five men.
