This is the title of one Of the heav-
lest firms In any line, in our city,
They are engaged i'm the hardware
trade, and are doing a business Sec
ond tn that of no other firm in Nor
thern Iowa, outside OF the large river
cities. This is one of the firms that
suffered by the late fire, which re-
duced TO the ground one of our three
story brick blocks. However,
Phnrix like, another building finer
than the first has sprung from the
ashes of the old one, and will be,
when completed, one of the finest
blocks in Cedar Falls. Messrs.
Thompson & Co. will occupy the
north room, which will be completed
before the balance of the block
Their stock includes hardware, tin
ware, iron, nails, stoves, etc., as well
as wagon timber and stock, leather
and rubber betting, hemp packing
and blacksmith stock and tools in
fact any and everything ever found

time and space TO estimate the differ
ent branches of Messrs. Thompson Il
Co. IS trade, than we can spare. Suf-
flee IL to say that it is model stock
one which reflects credit alike upon
the city and its public spirited pro-
prietors. Thorough reliability, ex-
cellent business capacity, and large
capital, places them beyond compe-
tition, and with their increased fa-
ciIities they will be enabled to furn-
ish the entire county In their line of
goods.

groceries i'm Black Hawk county, and
buying his goods in large quantities,

tive trade, which only shows again
the popularity they have won as
dealers.
