"...Mr. Buckley put out his sign in 1853, though he was in New Orleans long before that. He carries a general line of jewellery and watches and reports a satisfactory business. Going back on Canal Street to No. 115, we enter one of A. M. Hill's stores, the other being at 8I and 86, St. Charles Street. Mr. Hill is too busy to talk, but a few well-directed questions elicit the information that he came to New Orleans after the war and cut stencils, repaired gold pens, and did such work until he secured an opening in business, since which time he has built up a large business and acquired a fortune, it is said, of 250,000 dollars. Mr. Hill has a general reputation for keeping " standard time," and this, as every jeweller knows, is a very enviable reputation to possess." Trade Journal Article - printed in 1890
