SOUTHERN EN7ERPRrsE-FIRE AND BUR
CLAIR PROOF Iron SAFE MANUFACroRY IN
MEalPHIs.-W copy from the Appeal the
following review of the laboratory of Mr. A.
O. Shultz, which is also endorsed by the
Public Ledger:
Having known Mr. A. o. Shultz for
number Of years, and being personally con-
vinced of his great superiority in his bust
ness, we take pleasure in copying from the
Appeal Of the 18th, the following favorable
notice of his establishment: We yesterday
dropped in at our old friend, A. o. Shultz,
I19 Jefferson steet, whom we have known as
practical locksmith fire and burglar proof
iron safe maker, machinist and general iron
worker, for thirteen years past. Taken in
his line of business. he is certainly the right
man in the right place
Self interest, as well as self respect, de-
mands our earnest encouragement of South
ern manufacture, upon which our local sue
cess depends 1t is hoped that neither the
reader nor the subject Of our notice will
misconstrue our purpose in any other than a
motive to offer those local manufacturing re-
sources in our midst, that constant encour-
agement upon whose success ours so much
depend. We are dependent on Northern
manufacturers for want of properly en-
couraging manufacturers at home. Let US but
do cur duty, and we shall soon see manufac-
lures Of every description spring up in our
midst. Though things coming from abroad
are most sought, there is no reason why they
should always be the cheapest and the best.
/ Would those great manufacturing interests
/ in the North, or elsewhere, become so widely
/ known, popular or prosperous had not their
/ own local townsmen, press and surround
/ ings personally contributed to their support?
/ We thinkno We understand from the gen
tleman to whom we refer, that he has long
cherished the idea being a thorough master
of his trade, Of opening a mandatory for
making and repairing al kinds Of fre-proof
iron safes, etc, but has heretofore failed for
want Of facilities, which are now being de-
veloped We found on hand many splendid
fre-proof safes finished, many in process
of construction and many which had been
sent in for repairs. Most of our old bankers,
railroad men, steamboatmen, merchants and
others have spoken in the highest terms of
commentator of the specimens of work
turned out by this manufacturing establish
ment, and will no doubt endorse, recommend
and encourage Mr.. Shultz in his praisewor-
thy enterprise In this, as in all other inter
ests of a similar kind, we should always en-
courage home manufactures, when furnished
as cheap and in the same perfection as wher
furnished from abroad.

thing IN his line to the following we'll known
