The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1872-05-02


is constantly increasing. Its outright
it should, as they are the result Of
scientific investigation aRd have
abundantly demonstrated their re-
spectiYe merits. The house Of which
we write is doing large trade and
stands second to none ia this portion
Of the State. Two energetic men are
at the head OF affairs directing them,
and it viii be no fault of theirs If in
the-years 10 come they 10 not hold the
advantage already gained.
GEO. ERNEST
: the only exclusive dealer in stoves
and tin ware in the city, and like
mOstmen who give their entire atten-
ton to n speciality, has made the bu-
siness n successful one. Mr.. Ernest
has been identified with Tiliin since
1859, at which time he came from the
city of LOekpOrt, II. Y. He then
commenced his present business, and
has made no change since. Aside
from the fact that he has proven
himself n pleasant, affable gen ntleman,
and which largely Influences trade,
aside from this we say, has been one
principle of action in UNDERTAKING his
business career here, and that has
been "hOnOr." He has aimed to deal
fairly and squarely-tO make his pat
rons realize that any representations
he made might be relied upon-in
other words to inspire confidence.
In this he has succeeded. 1t makes
a broad, sure basis upon which to
found trade, and the effects are not
slow in manifesting themselves. Mr..
Ernest is of the class of men who see
life on the sunny side, If clouds inter-
vene they are quickly dispelled. In
his trade he employs an average force
of six men, manufactures largely,
does general jObbing and gaivanizing
iron work, and is the agent for the
following makes of stoves Jewett &
Root, s. II. Ransom, Geo. Gill and j.
G. d NJ. Peekham. He is energetic
his trade is constantly growing, and
the future looks promising indeed.
MARTIN WAGNER.
is another representative of the mer-
chant tailoring, clothing and gentle
mems furnishing goods trade of this
city. Perhaps no branch of business
here has more adherents than this,
and certainly no house of the kind
commands n larger proportion of
trade. Mr.. Wagner has resided in
Tiffin not less than twenty-five years.
For long time he worked as jour
neyman tailor, and fifteen years ago
commenced business for himself
his capital was very small, but he
had ready hands, willing heart, and
a thorough practical business knOWl-
edge, which coupled with the firm
determination to succeed, brought, In
time, its reward. He has recently re-
fitted his store room, making 1t more
attractive than ever, and trade opens
this year better than ever before. He
gives employment to an average force
of twelve persons, and is assisted in
the cutting department by Joseph
Ardner, and the world appears to use
him well. He is a pleasant, social
well worthy this mention.
GEO. II. BOWMAN
is the only exclusive dealer in queens
ware, glassware, cutlery and house
furnishing goods in the city. He
came here five years ago from Mans
field, and for three years was engaged
as Real Estate Agent. Two years ago
he established his present business.
He showed good judgment in going
into this line of trade, and from the
outset has had good trade, his estab-
lishment now being one Of the largest
and complete in Northern Ohio. An
elegant salesroom 1Sx1O0 feet. with
large cellar, and cOmmOdious ware
house in the rear. He imports large
ly, always buying from the manufac-
turers, and thus has an inside track,
being able to wholesale upon equal
terms With the jobbing houses of 9th
er cities. Already his iobbing trade
is large, and is destined to become one
Of the most important here. Mr..
Bowman is q young man, possessed Of
business enterprise, and the fact that
he now leads the trade I'm this line Is
evidence Of his personal
popularity.
J.. X. LOUDERAuLCH
makes a specially Of dry goods and
carpets. He christened his place Of
business the pennsylvania Store"
and as such, Il Is widely known.
Nearly four years ago Mr.. l.. came
from Lebanon, Pa, where, for num-
ber of years, he had formerly been in
trade. Although the business ranks
seemed nearly or quite full he did not
hesitate to enter the lists and fairly
with rival houses for trade,
and from the first day in which his
doors were thrown open to the public
up to the present time he has enjoyed
n patronage that was a compliment to
the establishment. Trade has gradu-
ally increased, and no business house
here is more firmly established on a
solid basis. He has very pleasant
store-room 1Sx1O0 feet, which Is filled
with goods, embracing a specially
large line OF silks and dress goods.
The second floor is used for earpetings
of which he carries u full line. MIL.
is a young man, but full Of business
enterprise. He has built up a trade
in four short years that any house. in
the city might well be proud Of. In
our intercourse with him we have
found him n pleasant, courteous gen.
tleman, and we are sure our readers
will warmly second our wish for his
continued prosperity.
NJ. ]. KIRCHNER
is another of our prominent dealers
in general groceries and provisions.
Mr.. X. has been identified with the
trade of town for neatly twenty years.
In 1855 he came to Tiffin from Cleve-
land, and until 1853 was engaged in
elerking. In that year he commence
ed business for himself In partner
ship with AIr. J. VOrndran, which Co
partnership was dissolved in the sprng
Of 1868, since when he has been alone.
Besides doing q large retail trade,
Mr.. Kirehner jobs TO q considerable
extent and also ships quite largely.
He has been in the grocery trade OF
Tiffin long enough to ascertain all It's
ipoints,n and he conducts it success
fully. No business man in the city
has gained more real friends or estab-
lished a better reputation for business
integrity than he. Active and ener-
getic, ne may well be spoken OF rs
one of our representative business
men.

NTcoLAI & HOLDERMAN

goods trade. This branch Of business
is we'll represented in TifiD, and when
these gentlemen came here two years
ago. the prospect, TO say the least, was
not the brightest i'm the world. An
old adage: tsFaint heart never wOn,"
etc, was applicable, and believing
that strict attention to business, court
