PBAsB, RUMMELL & CO.'S CAR
RAGE WORKS.

In the course Of our rounds, during the past
week, we looked into the above manufactory
and must confess our surprise and satisfaction
to find the comparatively young enterprise in
30 Aourishing a condition. The name of
Pease is most familiar in our city-the father
of the leading member of this firm having To-
Gated here while our city was yet known as
Lower Sandusky, and successfully run hard
ware on the le site where his son is now
in business on the East side, but for several
years the old gentleman has been deceased.
Nor is Mr. Rummeil by any means a stranger
to our city or in his business-he having long
enjoyed an enviable local reputation as a
tradesman. The firm was first formed on the
9th of March, 1873; fell to work in real earn
est, and from present indications decidedly
made their mark. The old factory they tors
down, leaving only modern constructed wing
of it standing, to which they added 40 feet for
a smiths shop. Engaging the best of work
men and laying in stock of A material on
| ly short time lapsed ere there was a good
showing of first work, which, in itself
port freTn those who visited their show room.
Patience and perseverance unremittingly at
tending their marked energy, success has at
last rewarded their efforts with as fine a shop
and equally attractive disp lay as any we have
seen, and those who can appreciate "prosperi-
ty rewarding the diligent" will certainly read
an account of the works with equal interest to
that taken by US in viewing the several de-
partments.
| THE CARRIAGE SHOW ROOM
is 2Sx5O feet, neatly arranged, and contains
carriages, ph@tons, open and closed buggies,
&C., fitted with all the modern improvements
in covers, movable seats, &C., and present a
finish at once highly complimentary to the
skill and experience of the workmen. And
we may here remark, if any one is well capa-
BILE of judging as to the get up or finish of this
class OF work it is Mr. Rummell, than whom
it would be difficult to find more competent
or practical man. None but the choicest sea-
son timber and best of imported iron and
springs is employed in their work, hence the
success which has hitherto attended the sale
/ of their excellent manufacture.
THE SMITHS SHOP
is approached from the end Of the show room,
and in point of order and tidiness evidences a
hattering compliment to the boss mechanic,
Mr.. Stephen Birdsell, worthy "son of Yul-
can" whose ability in his craft has rendered
his workmanship distinctive recommend to
this firm. The shop 4Ox26 feet, well ventilated
and lighted, contains three forges and every
modern appliance for the conduct of the busi-
ness. Ascending the stairs we were next
brought in full view of
THE WOODWORK DEPARTMENT.
Here we found the employees industriously
at work on every hand, Mr.. G. A. Perrine, the
foreman of the shop and an exception al
tradesman, taking an active part in the pro-
ceedings. We were particularly interested
with a modern machine here employed for
setting boxes in wheels without wedges. It is
called "Abbot's little giant"-and though a
small machine is not insppropriately named,
as it is a host in itself in its appliance. It was
| only patented in January last, and wheels
boxed with it are found to be much more ae-
curate, frmer, and runs truer. Mr.. Bryan
being naturally genius in his craft, is prompt
on the receipt of the latest Philadelphia de-
signs to work out patterns on scientific the
ory and produce the required novelty for sub
mitting to public inspection-hence their pat
rons may always rely that Pease, RummelI &
Co. have at any rate the latest and most fash
ionable conveyances known to the trade OF
found in Eastern markets.
