A Visit to Our Manufacturing

in rear of the yellow Corner. This es-
tablishment is well supplied with the ne
cessary machinery, and skillful mechanics
to do all kinds of work Mr.. S. advertises
in our columns, elsewheres1
Next,we found ourselfin the Wagon and
Carriage establishment of Seider & Hale,
east of the WarpoIe Houses This is a fine
shop, and to judge from specimens of their
work which we saw. we think they viii
have no difficulty in giving satisfaction to
the public. They have sold about all that
they have been able to. manufacture this
year, and the fact that they have received
several orders from Pennsylvania for
spring wagons, the last of which is just
about completed, speaks well for their me-
chanical skill. l,..e ,r4..t...s
Taking our leave of this, we proceeded
to Fifth street, in the northeast of which
a neat brick Church, .50x36 feet, is being
built by the German Reform Congrega-
ton, Walter & Ageter builders. These
mechanics also built the new Brewery, of
Voetz & Buser, which, when completed and
in full blast, we expect our streets will

We next visited the Distillery of J. d.
Mckee & Co., in the extreme east part of
town. This is the greatest, institution of
the kind in this part of northern Ohio,and
when in full operation, consumes an aver
age of 800 bushels of corn pei day. The

head Of cattle. They have a pen of 400
fat hogs, which will soon make good job
for the butchers. and much pleasanter
one for the eaters thereof.
Our next stopping place was at the Wa
gon and Carriage shop of VIM. Bearinger.
Here we saw some very nice specimens of
different kinds of wagons, the workman
ship Of which convinced us that Mr.. B. is
well prepared to do all kinds of work in
his line to the full satisfaction of his
patrons. . -
We next wended ouT way to the estab-
lishment of Fowler & Wicks now Worm
ley, Reed & Co., south of the ,rail-road-
The new firm is about to add some new
machinery to the already fine variety
which they have, and will devote their at
tention mainly to the manufacture of floor
ing materials, sheshes, doors, chairs, etc.
They have now fine and extensive va
riety of chairs on hand. ready for the
market. This establishment is tie largest
in our town.. While in their paint and
store house, we saw some of Cole & Co.'s
infallible rat catchers, one of which, all
who are troubled with those unpopular do
mestics, should have.
We next. stepped in the Flouring Mills
Of Croft 6 Watson. While there we no.
ticed that the millers were busy deliver
ing -four and receiving grain, etc., which
we regarded as an indication of the brisk
business done by those Mills. We cannot
too well appreciate the. great utility of
having such mills so close to our doors.
The Machine Shop and Foundry of
:Stevensons Gump & Co., was, the next
subject Of our attention. They make en-
gines, cast anything to order, and do all
kinds Of jobing iii iron. The P. Ft. w. &
G. r. r.; too, have a shop and blasts for the
purpose of repairing, and keep several
sons of Vulcan in their constant employ
Shortly weWent to the Wooden Factory
of w. H. Jones, a little south of town. We
were much amused at the various ingen-
ious machines and looms in that new es-1
tablishment. Here, too, we found all the
hands busy. We noticed some customers
present, and very pleasant. gentleman,
Mr.. Jones, ST.. to wait tupon them. .11
There are quite q number of residences
and other buildings in course of construc-
tion in the different parts of our prosper
ous town, among the most prominent of
which we mention the new Presbyterian
Church, just opposite the NJ. e. Church.
Brown & Gaar are the builders.
The new residence of Mr. Watson. on
the south end of Main street, on the Water
Cure grounds is a splendid struct-
ure and will add very much to the COM
mendable appearance Of our. town. We
have heard persons estimate the total cost
of this palace, when completed, at $4,000.
AS to the correctness of that estimate, we
do not know. EI<Fe;g 80
Mr.. /. A.-Brunner's new residence is fast
approaching completion, and it, too, is a
fine building. q
Messrs. Fleck, Warmley, Bee and others,
are building. themselves new and com
Portable homes, 49,.
With great pleasure we record the COM
mendable enterprise of the private citi-
zens of our town. Free from all selfish
motives, and in view of the fact that we
have no Fire Engine & this. deficiency
speaks volumes of praise in behalf of the
city authorities), we would earnestly urge
upon all the Importance Of having your
property insured. Do not wait till to-
morrow. .ssiyS 5,.5.,f..s F. 4. snz1.. e.. .-i.
