since '6S, and prior to that for many
years IN Wayne County. Their CO
partnership was formed in '6S, though
the house was established very
! many years sgo. Mr.. Poorman has
been in charge about a year, coming
, from Tiftin. He is an accomplished
pharmacist, a graduate of the Chicago
, College of Pharmacy and member
of the American Pharmaceutical Asso
r citation, and pleasant gentleman aud
thorough master of all the intrica-
cies of his profession. He has had
the satisfaction of seeing the business
increase wonderfully under his ad-
ministration, and his regime has spec
tally been characterized the publics-
ton of neat quarto paper: Every
body's Paper" issued as It's editor
says enthusiastically once every
three or four-whiles,' by which
/ lucid statement we suppose he snakes
reference to an allusion." At all
events it bespeaks enterprise. The
drug house of which we speak is q cred
it to the city. From the front to the
arch is 73x23 feet, beyond this arch is
a room 40 feet deep, receptacle for
heavy goods. The furniture is very
attractive, every thing is tastily ar
ranged, and it is easy to predict tor the
house of W. l.. Miller & Co., and its
''angel" prosperous future.
Z. S. KINDER
Occupies portion of the same store,
and this he has fitted up attractlvely
and stocked with a large and choice
selection of silver and plated ware,
clocks, watches, jewelry of every
description-in fact making his place
headquarters for the jewelry trade of
town. Mr.. Kimber is well known to
our people; he was raised in this
vicinity, and learned the jewelry trade
here twenty years ago, and since then,
here or elsewhere, has constantly
followed it. As thoroughly practi
cal workman he has no superior any
where, and few equals in this portion
of the State. He commenced bust
ness for himself here about eight
years ago: The stock and trade then
would hardly bear comparison with
that of to day, and this increase has
been brought about by his close at
tention to business and by doing his
work well. His establishment Is a
neat one, well worth visit, and those
wishing to purchase good goods cheap
will find this the place.
sCHULER CARcTHERS
Have entered into conspiracy
against the peace OF mind of all the
youngsters(and OF many of the adults,
tool hereabouts, as is plainly eyinced
by glancing through their store
More beautiful candies we have never
seen, and in imagination as we gazed
it seemed as though We were "chub''
once more and wanted cents worth.
The firm OF which we speak are man
ufacturing confectioners, fancy bakers,
and they also keep first class restau-
rant, and, in summer, one of the finest |
ice cream rooms in this section of the |
country. They have every convent
ence they could wish--a neat store
and we'll lighted, airy work room,
kept as clean as can be, have tip top |
good trade and yet they are not hap
py-their meerschaums don't color
fast enough. The business was estab-
lished about three years ago, since
when there has been several changesin
the proprietorship, ,thepresent firm sue
ceeding, on the 10th OF October last,
to Schuler & Twining. MIR. S. is
practical confectioner and baker, COM
ing here from Massillon Car
others is from Carey. Both are young
men-giye their whole time to the
business and are making it win. In
the manufa cture of candy they use at
least 200 bbls. OF sugar per year-the
amount of toothache as one OF the re-
suits we haven't time to estimate
ELMEs SMITH
Are recent accessions to the business
circle of town, their firm having been
organized in October last, though |
Mr.. Elmes had really commenced the
business the preceding month. He,
Chas. E. Elmes, has been q resident
here for 20 years, aud has been vari
ously engaged as salesman, farmer,
wooden manufacturer and now in dry
goods. His partner, j. B. Smith. has
lived in the county ever since child.
hood, and has chiefly been engaged
in farming, though following other
business at times. He is now In
mercantile operations for the first
time, but seems to take kindly and
naturally to it. Both gentlemen are
Young men. They have one OF the
neatest stores in town, make dry
goods a speciality, and are doing
good trade, far in excess OF their an
ticipations. They are the last organ
lied dry goods firm here. We be-
lieve there is abundant room for
them. and hope they will be enabled
to give good account OF themselves
ere the year rolls around.
DAVIS GREEN
Is the well-known style of another OF
our leading business firms, their Co
partnership having been formed SIX
wears ago last February. The his
tory OF the house goes far back of
that, however, commencing 81 years
aoo, when Isaac Davis commenced
business with about, q wheelbarrow
load OF goods in an old frame building
near the C. S. IL C. depot, his total
capital being 5000. He remained
there Is years, enlarging the business
from time to time, and in 1863 built
his present building, one OF the best
in town a two-story brick 3Oxl3I
feet. with brick wareroom for heavy
Goods at the side 55x20, az cost of
about $4,000. He also about the
same time built the building occupied
by the Post Office. He Is now COM
pleting one OF the most elegant resi-
dences in this section of country.
Twenty-one years of active, careful
business life in Findlay have not been
wholly without results to him. Mr..
+ 81. B. Green, his partner, came here
II years ago from Vermont, COM
mencing as a clerk Nth Mr.. Davis,

ship. He is young man, as full OF
