the great, giant looking two-whceed nondescripG
concerns, ready to be shipped to points below, {"
where they never Eniled TO reflect credit upon
Wheeling skill and industry. No small quaint
ty of that Kind of work, there seen, gave evi-
,lcncc of the enterprise and admirable workman
ship of Busbcy, Little & Co.
This firm is one of the oldest and best known
in the city. They have been engaged in the
same business, without interruption, about
twenty-five years. This establishment manu-
features extensively all descriptions of wheel
right work. In the manufacture of wagons
Wheeling has always been noted place. and
this establishment has reputation for thatkind
of work well earned and long maintained" y
They are as well prepared to manufacture wag-
on work as any establishment in the United
States, and they make many different kinds to
suit various sections of country. They are pre-
pared with machinery for forging and turning
Iron Axics, which are now generally used.
They also receive considerable aid from ma
chines for boxing, punching, drilling and cut
ting screws. They have very superior machin-
cry for turning and morticing hubbs, for saving
out fellows and wagon stuff, and for turning
spokes, all of which only prepares the rough
material for the hands Of the workrneu The
timber used at this establishment in the manu-
iacturc of wagons, is mainly oak that grows so
ahuudantly in this part of Virginia, which,
when well selected, is equal to any timber known.
The articles manufactured by this firm embrace
every kind OF work in their line A large
quantity of wagons and carts are made by them
for the sugar plantations of Louisiana, and for
the cotton plantations of the South, we OBJ
serve.
Some very large timber wheels to go South,
where they are used in hauling cypress timber
out of the swamp lands; lighter kind of work
they manufacture aud send to the cotton and
tobacco producing sections of Tennessee aud
Kentucky. In manufacturing work for home
use for city and county, they have never been
cxccllcd, and have lUns done furnishing bust

almost entirely here, aud giving employment to
numerous r.tkmen, this establishment is well
worthy all the patronage that can be bestowed
upon it.

every facility for manufacturing this kind Of
work the various materials used can be brought
together here cheaply as at any place east or
north, and We are informed by this firm, that
they find ready market for all they can make,
aud they expect to still extend the manufacture

over the Post Office, which they have well filled
with Buggies and Carriages, which shows the
skill and ncatness OF their wOrkmcn. Their

trade, and they have endeavored to secure this
by making their work equal in durability and
style, to any made in the country. Already in
