ouR BUSINESS HousHs.


Though limited in number, and of moderate
capacity, still our manufactures are telling
their own story by their steady and healthful
grouth; and by the spirit and life which they
infuse into surrounding enterprises. This is
literally true of the manufacturing establish
ments of our city. There is scarcely house
hold, within the limits of our trade, in which
can not be found some article from the ware
rooms of
TsoHUNY DoNoYsoN.
Furniture Manufactures, and wholesale and
retail dealers Passing through their factory,
alive with activity, the sound of which is
drowned in the din of machinery, or looking
about their ware rooms, packed with finished
wares, one would hardly trace the history of
their business back to the date of its COM
mencement.
In the year 1856, an ordinary frame build
ing, "might have been seen" standing upon
the lot south of D. June & Cos brick foundry,
and directly across Water street from the car
riage factory of Mr.. J. P. Moore. It was
during that year that Mr.. c. W. Tschumy took
possession of this building, for the purpose of
manufacturing furniture. With the foresight
of a shrewd business man, he established his
business with capacity which his capital
could control and the demands OF the time
warranted, but with the determination of
making it permanent and to follow the growth
of the town and advancement of the country.
In this way he prosecuted safe and remu-
merative business, for about three years, du-
ring which time he had five men constantly
employed At this time he desired, for certain
reasons, to make q change in the location, and
to make his business more prominently asso-
ciated with the permanent institutions of the
place. Though but little more than a decade
has passed since that time, yet Front street
presents quite different appearance to-day
from what it did at that time. On the corner
of Front and Garrison streets was a large lot
occupied by an old log house in the center, in
front Of which was garden of moderate size,
shaded by two locust trees which stood upon
the lot bordering on Front street. Of this
ground Mr. Tschumy secured lease for four
years, and proceeded Immediately to erect
frame building upon the garden spot in front
of the log house. The new building he used
as work room and the log house as a dwell
ling. Two years subsequently,, finding his
facilities for manufacturing work insufficient
for the demand, he tore down the log house
and built an addition to his shop, and also
erected frame building on the ground where
the brick now stands. In '63 he succeeded in
purchasing the ground covered by the lease,
and with an additional force of workmen was
prepared to keep pace with rapidly increas-
ing trade. But the capacity with which the
business was endowed, even at this time, was
not destined to be the maximum point of
growth. This became apparent in 65, when
the frame building on Garrison street was
moved away to be fitted up as dwelling, and
n its place was erected the brick as it COW
tands. The building dssignedto be used ex-
lusiyely for manufacturing puTpOses,is 52xS6,

Mr.. EDIIoR:

the Journal would be glad to hear from this
part of the world, as this county is mostly set
tied by ohioans, and good many from San
dusky county We are having very nice
weather here The farmers have just finish
ed digging their potatoes, and are still at work
pulling turnips. The weather is so warm
that flies on the stock, are abundant, and the
robbins are still singing their songs of sum-
mer. The grazing for stock, is still very good,
and not much feed needed. The corn crop
was not as heavy here, as it was last year,
owing TO the dry weather, and little bug
called the Chintz Bug, which did q great
deal of damage to the ear, &c.
People desiring to come west, would do well
to stop in this county, as we have great deal
of wild prairie land, which can behadat reason

The Pacific R. R., runs through the center of
the county, and two other roads are in contem-
plation. Our county seat (Warrensberg,)
Is a place of about 5000 inhabitants, with con-
siderable wealth. M. o.

In May '67 Mr.. H. g. Doncyson purchased
an interest in the business, and became

new ware room built. The vacant space be-

on Front street near the railroad was pur-
chased by them, and three very comfortable

contains three acres, is used as lumber yard

lumber sheds They are at present giving em-
