THE CHIEF SHOWROOM.

1t is located in fine brick block, recently
constructed, with an excellent frontage of IS
feet, including the Office, and runs back about
so feet, with glass folding doors the whole
length of the front, giving it quite an effective
appearance. Nor is the room itself the main
attraction, for the show of conveyances ar
ranged around it is ample to the capacity Of
the room. We were particularly struck with
some magnificent Aurora carriages, Landuas
and phsetons. Also collection Of buggies,
which for fnish, style and variety, we have
never seen surpassed, including coal box and
piano bodies. The Eureka slide seat car
riages, are q special feature of more than or
dinary merit, as also the open and closed top
buggies and skeleton wagons. Again, at the
time of our visit we noticed very fine hearse
undergoing thorough overhauling, and judg-
ing from the advanced state of the work upon
it, there was ample evidences Of its turning
out one of the neatest and most effective con-
vsyances Of its kind that has ever graced our
streets We were informed it was the proper
ty of Mr.. Tschumy.
SHOWROOM OF SECONDHAND WORK.
In strict keeping with the peouniary re-
sources, as with the tastes Of his many patrons,
Mr.. B. has also constantly on hand capital
collection Of secondhand conveyances. which
are kept in department to themselves, and
it is seldom he is without some fifteen or
twenty different specimens for sale. Hs has
further large number OF wagons and drays
on hand at almost every price desired, though
1t is his inTariable rule that no work shall
leave the establishment without Its having re-
esived his personal inspection that he may
warrant it in its minutest details.
THE SEVERAL WORKSHOPS
are contiguous, and invariably presents I've
IY scene of activity. The blacksmiths' shop
is % it., by 100 #. deep, and repIete in every
modern appliance for the conduct Of general
smith work, shoeing, and the execution of re-
pairs in iron work Of all kinds. There are
two good paint shops, one for the better class
of work or carriage painting, and the other is
devoted to the finishing on Of wagons and
other heavy work. In proof of the extent of
the premises, we should also add, there are
some three or four other large rooms used for
surplus stock and storage, while it is found
necessary TO further retain tho services of
some additional out buildings to compass their |
large stock of materials. Indeed, the business |
from its onsst to the present, affords
AFLATTERINa CONTRAST.
With humble staff of only three en-
ployes, and stock-in-trade to the value of |
some $500, MIR. o. launched into bust
ness, and by steady perseverance, strict in.
tegrity and characteristic ability in the con-
luct of his transactions, the connection he |
now enjoys, commands a capital Of some
SSO,0 900 to $4,000 at least, while he employs |
lrom thirty to forty men with a weekly pay |
oil Of at least $3.50 to $500.
In view of the fact that Fremont has al
ways been fully represented in this branch of |
'usinesS-and though our city has gradually |
,rospered there has been no extraordinary |
mpetus to trade to result in more than ordi-
lary successive may well congratulate Mr..
)chs, for whom we trust there is yet in store
protracted future equally propitious with his
,ast experience.
