The following is from: Twitchell, Ralph Emerson. 1917. The Leading Facts of New Mexican History.
Commercial activity in New Mexico has felt the stimulus of the efforts of Clark D. Dilley, a wholesale and retail furniture dealer of Roswell whose business affairs are conducted along modern commercial lines. Guided at all times by a spirit of progress, his work has been of a character which has contributed to public prosperity as well as to individual success...
He was engaged in the furniture and undertaking business in his native town for twelve years, beginning in 1891, and in 1903 he came to New Mexico, settling at Roswell, where he established a wholesale and retail furniture house in the fall of that year. The business has steadily developed along substantial lines until he has today the largest wholesale furniture establishment in the State, carrying an attractive line of goods, for which he finds a ready sale.
He is the sole owner of the business and occupies a building fifty by one hundred and ninety-eight feet on North Main street together with a two story brick building on West Third street, devoted to his undertaking business. He has all of the modern equipment for funerals, including a well appointed chapel in which services may be held. In the conduct of his business he employs ten men.
