To our Patrons
The Business Men Of Iowa County.
Advertising being now about the only
means of communication between the mer-
chant and his customers, between the buy
er and seller, and in fact between business
men generally, it is but just to presume
that the business men of Iowa Co. have
taken advantage of the large local circula-
ton of the CHRONICLE and used it as an
advertising medium to introduce them
selves to public notice. A great majority
of our business men have done so, but a
few are still trying to plod along, in the
generally discarded style Of the last gen.
Grafton, and advertise their wares and
merchandise by encumbering the side
walk and front Of stores with specimens OF
what is to be sold on the inside. These
men are rapidly being left behind by the
following thorough business men, who
have, during the last year, advertised in
the CHRONICLE.
Prominent among the business men of
DODGEvILLE
Is the firm of
HENDY, THOMAS q CO.,
Dealers in Dry Goods, Groceries, Ready
Made Clothing, Crockery, Hardware, Yam
kee Nctio1s and almost everything usually
needed in this vicinity. This firm is one
of the best and most substantial in the
place. 1t has, by fair dealing, and consci-
enitous honesty, during fifteen or twenty
years, secured the confidence Of the people
in degree unsurpassed by any firm in
the county. This firm usually keeps the
largest assortment of goods in their line,
Of any store in this part of the State.
They have also tailor shop in connection
with their business, which is under the
of one of the best tailors in
the west. Ills work always gives satisfac-
ton. Their advertisement may always be
found in the columns of the CHRONICLE.
Another of the leading houses in this
place is 5a mE hr
,-tl WHEELER & CO.,
Dealers in dry goods, dress goods, grocer
les, boots and shoes, hats and caps, ready
made clothing, ladies' cloaks and cloak
ings, ladies' furs, &C., &c. This stock of
goods is probably the choicest and one of
the largest in the county. Every article
has been selected with great care, and has
to suit the fastidious taste and rigid scru
tiny of.one of the first merchants of the
west-Mr. j. D. Wheeler, and can there
fore be relied on as being first class goods,
and all they are represented to be. This
firm has been in business in this place for
ten or twelve years, and has built up
good and permanent business, gaining an
enviable reputation for honesty and fair
dealing. See their column advertisement
in our supplement this week.

corner of Iowa and Division Streets
He has full and complete stock of dry
goods, ready made clothing, dress goods,
hats, caps, boots and shoes. groceries,
crockery, glassware, &c. Having been in
business in this village for quite number
of years, and advertising literally in the

and being obliging and accommodating, de-
serves liberal share Of the patronage of

Who has been in business in almost every
part of the village, has opened new store
with new goods and new prices-one
door north of Smith & Roberts drug
store. He has a stock of fall and winter
goods of every description, such as dry
goods, ready made clothing, gents furs,
gloves, hats, caps, boots and shoes, gro
ceries, etc He has also, connected with
his store large and well conducted tailor
ing establishment. Mr.. Whitman says he
can sell as cheap as any one else, and de-
fes competition. His greatest drawback
is his extreme lberality, and easy, accom-
modating terms which he has given Gus
toners. He, however, proposes hereafter
to do strictly cash business. His adver-
tisement can always be found on the first
page Of the supplement.
A new store has lately been built and
stocked with an assortment of goods, oppo-
site Hendy, Thomas & Co., on Iowa street,
by
JAMES R. JONES,
A young man, who was in store in this
village some years ago, but has been dig
ging gold for the last five or six years.
He returned last summer, and being
pleased with the prosperity and business
advantages of the place, built and opened
a store, as above. He keeps dry goods,
groceries, crockery, ready made clothing,
boots and shoes, notions, &C., and adver-
tises that he will sell as cheap as the cheap
est, and warrants his goods to be as gooG
as the best.
