LOUIS sEEWALD
is engaged in the jewelry trade. In
/ 1888 his father, Phillip Seewald, came
here and established the business, be-
/ ing the first jeweler to commence
trade in this city. His capital and
trade were alike small, and even
when TifIin commenced growing and
other Z business men expanded
their lines, Mr.. Seewald had doubts as
/ TO the stability Of the growth of town
and kept on In the same old way. In
| 1867 his son Louis Seewald succeeded
to the business. He had been in the
house for several years preceding, and
upon assuming control of affairs, en-
I larged the business wonderfully
Since '67 trade has increased three
fold. Now Mr.. Seewald has one Of
the neatest jewelry stores in this por-
I ton Of the State. 1t is fitted up in an
elegant manner, is handsOmel y stock

That his trade will continue expand

are in the boot, shoe, hat, cap, furs,
and gents furnishing goods trade
The firm comprises +. d J. NJ. Jones.
They came to Tifin from New Jer-
sey, about three years ago, and at
tOnce embarked in trade. Since then
they can have no reason to complain
/ Of lack of competition, for it has been
and is active, but they have held their
oWn-tbey have seen their trade grad
ualIy grow each month and year, un-
/ til now its proportions are of graft
/ fying character. They have very
pleasant quarters, using the entire
three floors Of their store, and carry
large stock of goods. They are young
men, possessed of no little business
enterprise-they believe in the efica-
cy of printers ink, use it judiciOusly,
and consequently prosper. Although
business of all kinds seems crowded,
there is room for a few more men of
the same stripe.
c. II. STING
is the sewing machine agent OF town,
having the agency Of the Howe and
Domestic. For the past seven years
he has been in this line of trade here,
making of it a complete success
Now, aside from the large trade trans
acted in the Office, he keeps five sales
men upou the road and nOtwithstand-
ing the competition from all parts Of
the country he still maintains the adj
vantage gained at the onset. His
business is of peculiar kind. 1t re-
quires no little administrative ability,
and a man engaging in it must, Of
necessity, exhibitenergy scarcely call
ed for in any other avocation Of life.
Mr.. Sting is a native of this city, and, |
with the exception Of feight years this |
town has been his home. Four years |
Of this absence was spent in Philadel- |
phia where he was engaged in build |
ing and repairing sewing machines.
For many years he was the gun-smith
OF town, and since then in his present /
business. We are glad to be able to
speak oft as q gratifying success, for
it has been built up by hard work
and close application.

engaged in cOoperage, but sixteen |
yesrs ago he commenced the grocery |
trade, aud with the exception of two |
years spent in California, has made |
this his home and been engaged in bu-
siness here since. He is a man of few /
changes, having occupied his pres
emf place OF business ever since it was |
built. a number of years ago. Mr.. /

floors Of his building, 18xl00 feet, car

trade. He gives his own personal
supervision to the details of business,
and though always busy finds time to
