DAvxNPoIr WooLgN MiLLs.-We heard
Of remark made 10y Judge Wrsh, Of the
Supreme Court Of tlis State, ban,ely that
Joseph Shields of the Davenport Woolen
Mills, had done noblcr and more usefu!
work for the state Of Iowa than oil the I'M
portcrs cf sheep and horses within her
borders. When st the State Fair, We made
it an object 10 examine tbs d.spsy made by
~. Shields, in order that we might satisfy
ourselves Of the justice OF Judge Wright.
remark. And now VIC may o. we'll tell q
joke on ourselves. In search Of Mr. Shields
department in the company Of our friend
Ingersoll, OF the Muscatins Journal, our st
ten,ion was attracted TO what we supposed
was tho exhibition Of some wholesale merch.
ant, displaying his fine cloths and cassi.
meres Of foreign fabric aud dosskius, beav.
ers, ladies sacquing, etc., etc., Of some ofous
best eastern manufactures. Judge Of our
surprise when told that this was The display
Of the Davenport Mills. II seemed impos>
sible, and yet, Why should We not manufac-
ture in Iowa. anything that can be made in
any other State in the Union! Jos. Shields,
she proprietor Of these mills, has capital
Of 100 900 invested, and purchases $50 900
pounds Of wool annually. He manufac>
turcs the very best broadcloths, doeskins,
cAssimeres, beaver and pilot cloths. Han-
nels, blankets. stocking yarn, etc, ETC.
We particularly admired some samples Of
ladies sacqing, hair line and black tricot
cassimeres, which ws really think cannot
be excslled There il no other mill in the
State to be compared with the mill Of Mr..
Shields, and, In fact, there is no mill west
Of New York equal to il. N. N. Tyner, the
gsntlsmanly agent, has attended many
fairs, and carried away With him oil The
premiums awarded in the class Of ''tcxsile
fabrics'' ct oil Of them. He Was awarded
all the psemiums in class 81 Of extile fabrics
ct the late State Fair. He has competed
with the best mills Of Illinois and some the
most noted in New York and carried away
every award. It 10 evident that this mill
has sdvantagss, or faoilities which 70 other
ir the State, or indeed, in the vest. posses
ses. Did Il not have. il would not be 50
universally succcssful in oil compositions
for premiums. Now we want 70 sav word
to our dealers We advise you to patsonixs
home institutions. You cannot do better
q any other mill m the West, or East for
that matter. than st the Davsnpost Mill.
Il not only ccmpetes in quality, bat 10
price and style. Send for samples aed pri~
ces, and then advertise Davenport goods
for sale, and ws will wsrrsot quick salss
and good satisfaction. We have spokeu
IN tsrme Of praise Of the Davenport woelsu
mill. We know .sall ws have eaid 10 Be
true, and ws hsss been Induced to write
thus from sense Of justice 10 ooble @
