There nro mnny prosperous business
enterprises in this thriving city. THE
UKB has not the apace , nor hai its

of them at once , nnd oven these fuw
can only be hastily glanced at. It is
said that one-half of thu world knows

lenvy ntock of paper , books , station
ery , otc. , needed to supply his jobbing
as well as retail business. Ho hns
hus bccomo more centrally located
nnd hns as largo and complete an
establishment na can bo found in most
cities many times larger than this ,
rho main floor is devoted to retail
lusiness. It ia the same as the other
loora , about 25 by 100 feet , and is
very attractively finished in walnut
uid birds-eye miple. Along ono side
a shelving filled with n mammoth li-
urary of miscollnnoons books. Along
tlio oilier fliclo is n largo nnd vnned
supply of blank books , memoranda
looks and staiionory of nil kinds.
Down tlio center of the spacious nnd
attractive salon room nro show-cases
placed across the room , ono nfter the
itlier , ten or nioro in number. Tlieao
present n moat pleasing display , nnd
n rich nnd tempting array of papoter-
icfl , handkorobiof and glove sets , nnd
Indies arm baga. Then there nro ink
stands and paper weights of unique
and pleasing designs. In ono show
case is noticed nn olognnt nssortmont
of pockot-books nnd purses , then
there nro albums of all sorts , both
autographic nnd photographic. In
ono case is n display of very rich and
attractive gift books , beautifully
bound volumes of poetry n d art ,
which would grace the most elegant
homo. Toilet sundries in great vari
ety also appear , and perfumes with
charming novelties for the boudoir as
well as the library. Gold pens and
holders , in fact n bewilderment of
various articles , combining utility
with ornament.
Above the shelvings , on both side
walls , appear pictures , forming an at
tractive art exposition. Hero are oil
paintings , stool engravings , panels of
various pleasing designs , oliograpliD ,
all tastefully and some richly framod.
There nro mnny other displayo in this
retail department , to which one can
not do justice by an ordinary glance
through the stock. Iloro is shoot
music , for instance , stereoscopic
views , photographs of notnblos , nnd
so on nnd on , seemingly without end.
At the roar of this floor ono finds him
self nt the oflico , where nppenr neat
desks and other needfuls and conve
niences , the spnco being surrounded
by a railing.
Ono could linger lornin this rotnil
department but for the reminder of
the proprietor Hint this is , nftor nil ,
but n department of the business , nnd
and as ono outers the basement , it becomes -
comes evident that the wholesale bus
iness of the establishment is immense.
Uoro nro the heavy goods piled from
floor to ceiling , packed nwny closely
on shelves and in cases , while nt the
roar the receiving nnd shipping is go
ing oil. There nro great packages of
wrapping paporu twines , paper bags ,
straw board , carpet lining , and othi'l
goods of thu Bamo sort. Downnshool
from the nlloy way boxes nnd bundles
of now goods slide , while the elevator
in the corner furnishes easy transpor
tation to and from the upper floors ,
Going up to the second tloor ono
finds n still further showing of the
wholoualo business being done by Mr.
Seaman. This floor is now well fillet
with stationery and printer's goods in
boxes , bundles , and packages ready
tor packing and shipping , to moot the
demand of the wholesale trade. Tluso
goods nro soon , however , to bo movec
onto the third floor , to make room fern

will bo n still further extension ot Air.

There nro many lessor improve
nu'iits which Kir , Henmnn is making
as rapidly as possible , but as it is tin

'
than ono would'thlnk by uiviug it n

The move into tbeae now ( juartera is
evidently ono for the bettor , and the

Mr Seaman in ordering the incrtw.o

will add still moro to the magnitude

JAMEH riUINKV

orinjf establishment in the Btoro No
U72 Uroadwny , jubt vacated by Mr.
Seaman. This Is new enterprise ,
which will bo heartily welcomed , lib
erally supported , and in the hands of
Mr. Fraincy cannot but prove suc
cessful. Tic is wnll known beta by A
residence of over thirteen > oar , and
has n large circle of fritnds and ac
quaintances , who will cfladly civo their
support to his enterprise , tor years
ho w3 the cutter for Oberfelder &
Newman , and is as skillful nnd expo
rienccd as ho is popular and widely
known. Mr , Fraincy has mndo ex
tensive purchases of now goods in tha
eastern market ? , nnd has bought only
the moat stylish nnd most durable , it
being his purpose to handle no cheap
goods. 11 o will thus surely secure
tha patronage of these who want only
the best of goods , made in the best
manner possible. Ono small case

H. T WALKKH AN1I CO ,
Council lilull'd can boast of ono of
the most complete book binding nnd
job printing establishments in the
west that of S. T. Walker & Co. , on
Pearl street , This'establishment pro.
duces work which will compare favor-
bly with that of any city. In tin *
making of blank books nnd records
for railway ofllces and public otlicinls
they hnvo gained such a reputation
that they nro constantly in receipt of
orders from every part of the sur
rounding country , while in nil forms
of book binding and job work de
manded by business men they are
equally skillful , prompt nnd fair-
dealing , They hnvo recently nddod
much to their facilities , and RTO con
stantly increasing in the quantity and
improving the quality of their work ,
and are prepared to supply anything
from an election ticket to the most
complicated , intricately ruled nnd
mammoth sized book in the offica of
any big corporation.
A. NKAT IlltUO STOKE.
Qrady & Co. commenced business
nbout ono nnd a half years ac ; on
South Main street. Mr. Grady had
been for years the cfllcient prescrip
tion clerk in Dave Williams' drug
store. Pr. Pinnoy , tha other member
of the firm , ii a brother ol Dr. I'm-
noy.
noy.Thdir largo ncquaintance , square
dealing , attention to business and
thorou h knowledge of the drug trade ,
soon necessitated their removal to
larger quarters , Their now atoro , the
"corner dru store , " South Main
street , is ono of the nen'est in west
ern Iowa , They keep a now nnd
complete stock of pure drugs nnd
medicines , choice perfumeries , toilet
and fancy goods. They nro noted for
their care in putting up prescriptions.
They make this line of their business
n specialty.
THE SHIRT MANUKAOroIlY
of F. F. Ford is ono of thu most
thriving induatrios of this city , and
deservedly BO. Mr. Ford started in
iho business about six ycara ago , and
by enterprise nnd merit has caused
the manufactory to rank with the best
in Iho west. It now omplovs from
fifteen to thirty hands ? nnd orders nro
continually being rccciyod from differ
ent points in a territory of the extent
jf five hundred milea square. Ilia
business the past year is moro thnn
doubled over the preceding year
and four times that of the
first ycnrs of the enterprise.
Ono customer is sura to induce others ,
so sure nro tlio goods to plcnso in
make and wear. Mr. Ford manufac
tures every sort of a style of white
ihirts , nnd also fancy imported Chev
iots nnd French pennies , handling
nothing but the best of material nnd
insuring perfect fits. Ho nlso manu
factures nil kinds of gout's underwear ,
both summer nnd winter wear , and
carries n full line of gont'n furnishing
goods and ready-mndo underwear. A
factory whoso good ) moot with such
Favor , and which draws from so largo
an extent of territory as that of Mr.
Ford is certainly n credit to the city ,
nnd deserving of the hearty support
of citizens.
MILLINKIIY IN AUGUST.
Blies , thu lending house for millin
ery nnd sundry notions , will null

of by this clearance sale are nil MOW
nnd stylish , nnd n r ro opportunity is
thus afforded , which the ladies will
gladly improve , there being rn.illy
bargains to bo had there. This estab
lishment is daily visited by customers
from out of the city ns well ns from
within the city , and the special oflor
made during August will bo gladly
taken advantage of by all , All should
call nt 328 Broadway und sou these
goods nnd prices.
1' . W. fil'ETMAtf AND I1RO , ,
is the title of ono of tbo best known
linns of this city. They commenced
business hero in November , 1877 , nnd
their enterprise and honorable deal
ing caused their trade to grow so rap
idly as to demand the building of the
linndoomo nnd spacious two story brick
block , occupied by them since 1880.
Here they have n large and complete
stock , suitable for their extensive
trado. Ono store is devoted to dry
j oods , of which they carry n full line ,
embracing always the latest and the
best. It is n goodly business by it
self , but is after nil only ouo of the
several departments , for passing
through the heavy archways ono finds
in the adjoining store n largo nnd complete
ploto stock of groceries , where mnny
customers nro supplying themselves
with all the needfuls and many of the
luxuries for the tnblo nnd Inrder. But
this is not nil. Up stairs ono finds
still nnother largo display of goods ,
thii being the boot nnd shoo , and
clothing dopartmont. Each of these
departments is n complete establish
ment of itself , nnd when thus com
bined under so enterprising and yet
careful management , it forms an insti
tution worthy of extended descrip
tion. Ono can find hero clothing for
the whole family , male or female ,
small nnd largo , nnd hero too can bo
found nil thnt the same family may
need in the line of provisions. The
firm hnvo a largo country as well as
city patronage , nnd is evidently thriv
ing and by its fair treatment of cus
tomers is bound to continue to thrive.
MOUOAN , KELM.lt AND CO.
is another of the well-known firmw in
this city , 'it consisting of II. Morgan ,
S. S. Keller and John Dohany. All
three have long resided hero and been
actively engaged in business for years ,
un.il it would bo worse than ncedluoa
to try to inform the publio concyrn-
ing their reliability , so firmly have tin-
years established it. Mr. Morgan h.i *
had forty-five yorra1 experience aa un
undertaker , and none uudoratunii
every detail of the buainesi belt or
than ho , nnd none nro moro attentive
in the performance of such duties ns
fall to his lot. Few cities have no
complete nn establishment for properly
orly caring for its dend , nnd in none
are the prices naked so reasonable and
Juatf.
Aeido from this branch of the busi
HUBS Mr. Morgan pays hi.i personal at
tentiun to tlio manufacture of hair ,
moss , husk nnd excelsior mnttrosses ,
and the coming fall will ndd to his
business , nnd will employ n practical
upholsterer , carpet layer nnd lambre
quin maker , nnd this brunch of the
business will bo greatly [ appreciated
and heartily sustained by the publio.
Mr Keller devotes hia time to his
extensive furniture business , nnd is to
bo found on duty nt his largo aulea
room and warehouse , where are dis
played nil sorts of goods to ndd to thu
comfort nnd beauty of homo , ns well
as ovcry needed kind of otlico ftirni-
turp. Mr. Keller Is ono of the most
notivo und straightforward business
men of thu city , nud his furniture us-
tablishmcnt is ono of the largest nnd
most complete it : Iowa ,
Mr. John Dohany is also n member
of this firm , ho being ono of Council
HluHV oldest and most highly respect' '
od citizens , Among the many enter
prises , whoso success is duo to him , is
the woll-known livery etablo bearing
his name , and ho is thus enabled to
supply in connection with the under
taking business , of which Mr. Morgan
has charge , the needful horses and
„ , I
carriages ior funeral occasions , IIo
has two ns fine hearses as are to bo seen
in nny western city , ono being espe
cially for bearing the caskets of child
ren. In all the livery charges for such
sad occasions , ns well as for the un
dertaker's scrricos , thcro is n reason
able nosa which is in striking contrast
with the too often exorbitant prices ,
of which those in this business in other
cities take advantage on occasions of
Urn kind.
SULLIVAN AND FITZGERALD ,
at No. 343 Broadway , are evidently
having n lively trade in the grocery
line , They keep nn excellent stock ,
ns one can readily see by glancing at
their shclve.i nnd counters. They
keep a complete supply of groceries
nnd provisions , and nlso carry n good
assortment of crockery and glassware ,
ns well as boot ? , shoe ? , otc , One the
other features of their business is the
agency of several steamship companies.
These who have occasion , for thotn-
t elves or friends , to purchase tickets
either to or from Europe , cannot do
bettor than by calling on Sullivan it
Fitzgerald , as they are agents for the
Ctinard , Anchor , Guton , American
nnd State steamship companies. Drafts
are nlso for sale by them on the lloyal
Dank of Ireland , mid Jj ink of Ireland ,
Dublin. We need hardly say that this
firm is not only wide nwake , but re
liable , for many know that already.
L. II. MOSlIEU
is n name well known here , nnd so
long ntuocintcd with the clothing bus
iness au to be almost a synonym. LI is
0. O. D. clothing house in the Pacific
house block on Broadway is ono of the
popular resorts for these wanting well
titting and well wearing raimont. lie
has been in business hero for nbout
six ycnrs nnd hns found hia trndo
steadily increasing , until it ia firmly
established nnd hichly prosperous.
Ho carries n largo nnd vnricd stock , so
Hint man or child , of nny aizo or age ,
can be well dressed there nnd nt ex
tremely low prices All kinds of
gents' furnishing goods nnd underwear

caps of the latest styles nnd greatest
vnriety from which to select ! Mr.
Mosher is n close , careful buyer ,
nnd ho giycs hi customers the bone-
Tit of the bargains for which he
always has n keen eye. Thoroughly
experienced , widely known and nlivo
to the demands of the public , ho meets
Lhesc demands with sure satisfaction
to the purchaser.
M'ATEU AND FOX
imvo n very thriving business nt the
corner of Main niid Ninth avenue ,
their line beinp , as moat know ,
groceries nnd provisions. They hnvo
only been in businccs hero nbout six

into goodly proportions , ns though by
magic S. T. McAtee , the senior
member of tlio firm , wns book-keeper
for M. Keating's wholesilo house lor
a , long time , and has n wide nnd valu
able acquaintance. Charles A. Fox ,
the other membur of the firm , was fern
n long time book-koepor and silu&man
forSpetman Bro. , nnd gained rank
an ouo of thu most popular salesmen
in the city , n rank which ho still
holds. Both of the partners are young
men , very popular , nnd wondt rfully
successful in building up n trade.
They carry * a fiuo stock , which they
keep in excellent condition and very
attractively displayed. They cortninly
satisfy customers , both as to prices
and quality of goods , judging by the
golden opinions hoard on nil sides ,
The firm has started in very prosper
ously , nnd there ia every promise that
their trade will continue to gro < r.

CONUAD LAZENDOKFKR
keeps on South Main street ono of
the neatest nnd boat moat markets to
bo found anywhere. Ho has been
hero for n number of years , has gain
ed the confidence of the public , has
won a largo circle of customers , nnd
when once ho gains a patron ho keeps
him. Being thoroughly experienced
with the business and with the pecu
liar wants of his customers , ho never
flags in his endeavors to please in
every instance. In ono respect ho is
peculiar. Instead of allowing hotels
nnd dining cars to gobble up his best
moats , ho alwnys eaves the juciest ,
tendorest nnd nicest cuts for these
private customers who depend upon
him for their supply of moat. His
change from the usual policy is great
ly appreciated. By keeping only , the
bast of meats , by carefully filling the
orders ho receives , by being reasona
ble in hia prices nnd prompt in his at
tention , ho has won n reputation for
his market of which ho mny well bo
proud , and nny ono counting himself
a customer of his may well congratu
late himself on having found ono of
the best meat supplies to bo found
anywhere.
