PERRYSBURG.
IT'S Manu- factories and Bust
ness Houses.

As stated in our issue OF last week, we
propose to devote several columns OF the
JOURNAL for two or three consecutive issues,
to the manufacturing and business interests
Of Perrysburg. With the whole country,
Perrysburg has suffered more or less, Of
course, the depression in the monetary and
consequently, trade interests. But none
have borne up better under the pressure Of
hard times than have the manufacturers
and business men Of our village, and to-
day, in our enterprises and resources we
are far ahead of nine-tenths of the towns
of the same population, and il we will but
use the means at our command, each one
putting his shoulder to the wheel, the
light Of more prosperous times will break
upon Perrysburg, and she will come forth
and stand in the front rank in business
prosperity.
We have all the conveniences, except
water works and gas, that our larger sister
or we might say bigger daughter-down
the river are favored with. But we have
finer scenery, purer mir, more substantial
foundation, less smallpox, and other con-
veniences that our sister is not favored
with, and at no distant day can have both
water works and gas. We have the morn
ing, evening and Sunday papers delivered
at our doors nearly as soon as the same are
delivered in Toledo. We have excellent
school facilities, churches, bank, hotel,
public halls, fine river scenery and accom-
modations, printing Offices, and in fact all
the Improvements and conveniences to be
found in places Of twenty times our popu-
lation.
Let us now take n glance at some Of our
manufactures, only portion of which we
have had time to mention in this issue.
HARNESS, WHIP AND COLLAR SHOP.
WILLIAM sCHLECT, PRoP'R.
This is the Oldest institution of the kind
in the village of Perrysburg, and the Wis
itor will here find fine assortment Of car.
riages, trotting and farm harness, always
on hand, or prepared in readiness for pat
rons upon short notice. The collars
whips, saddles, Blankets Ay-nets, halters
brides, etc., embrace a great variety, and
are manufactured from the best material
designed by the proprietor for beauty
strength and durability. The manufac
tory fronts on Louisiana Avenue, and ,
more eligible location for the proprietor
business could hardly be found in the vii
lage. Men of honesty and fair dealing
never fail of patronage, and this, no doubt
is the secret of Mr.. SIS we'll deserved sue
cess.

IL very inviting. A fine assortment Of the
different grades, styles and qualities Of
brushes are in store, and are beautifully
adapted to dressing, ornamenting or en-
bellishing. As to patent medicines their
name is "legion." All the way from the
common pam killer to the latest catholicon
may be found the many panaceas for the
ills OF life, that flesh is heir to. Their
paints, oils, varnishes, and other goods on
shelving, in drawers, and in storo would
occupy too much space to classify, but they
are in abundance and fresh.
Their stock Of wall paper and window
shades is large and the proprietors
have the finest stock of confectionery
in the village. Their room Is also the
depository of the American Rihle Society,
and a more suitable place to obtain sta
tionery cannot be found in town. Chill
drens vehicles, jewelry, tobacco, cigars,
and fine grade Of teas may be found
here, all of which is second to none in this
section of the country. The pronrletors
are young gentlemen Of culture, worthy Of
merit and the writer wishes them ahund-
ant success.

PATENT WAGON SEAT MANDATORY
J. s. ELLIS, PRoP'R,

All who have enjoyed the privilege of
"taking ride in the country" have been
able to decide the advantages and profits
of an easy and we'll constructed buggy
seat. If there is any one thing calculated
to destroy ones happiness while indulging
in pleasure ride it is to be cramped up
and he forced to sit in an uncomforta-
BILE buggy or carriage seat. Mr.. ELLIS in
vention obviates and entirely removes such
complaints, and enables the traveller to not
only sit with ease and comfort, but abso-
lutely tends to make journey enjoyable.
His seats we're patented May 25, 1875, and
are manufactured from the very hest of
white ash. The springs are coil and made
of Bessemer steel, and are becoming noted
for their ease, comfort and durability. The
establishment is on the northeast corner of
Cherry and railroad streets, and meeting
with success.

'oLMAN's BorroM-pAcKING SEW,
ED GRAPE BOX.

We here quote from the manufacturers
circular, which will, no doubt, give n bet
ter idea of the utility, simplicity and econ
omy of these celebrated boxes, than in Ian
guage of our own framing:
"Grape growers have, for long time,
felt the need of bottom-pscking box.
Four years since we commenced making
round Grape Boxes and had a good many
ordered with bottom out, the packer nail
ing them in after filling the box. Some
tried packing in tin, it not only displaced
the grapes, but when they were ripe broke
the skin, causing them to decay. Feeling
that something better was needed, have
invented and patented Bottom Packing
Box which is unquestionably the best box
for Grape Packing manufactured, and il
winning its way to the hearts Of all grow
ers, shippers and consumers Of grapes.
This box is artistically arranged, neatly
and firmly sewed, and so firmly adjusted
that splitting or breaking is almost impos-
sible. They are all made from nice white
cottonwood and when put together they
present to the observer an appearance of ge-
MUS, which calls for the commendation
and, in fact, the hattery of purchasers
These boxes are calculated for berries ai
we'll as for packing grapes, and are being
manufactured at the rate of 1000 per day
As an evidence of the popularity of these
boxes, Mr.. ToLMAN received orders on
Tuesday from fruit growers in Ave diaeren
States, via: Michigan. Indiana, Illinois
Iowa and Utah.

The manufacture of -four has undergone
wonderful changes during the past few
years. When a grain of wheat is Gu
across the middle, and examined under
glass, the central parts are found 10 be COM
posed of a white substance. If the grain
Is dry, this interior readily becomes
pearly powder. Near the outside of the
kernal the texture is more compact, and at
the surface it becomes horny. This firm
ness OF the grain is procured by the in
creasing quantity of gluten, as the analy-
sis advances from center to circumference.
1t is necessary to understand this compost
tion of wheat in order to know what makes
the best -four, and how the inferior grades
of the same article are composed. The
best OF our wheats are those raised in CAL
itornia and Oregon. The summer of these
States is long and uniform, and allows the
grain to ripen perfectly. Such is the free
dom of these States from moisture that the
grain is left in the field, piled in bags, and
covered with layer of straw, for several
months after it is threshed. Much of in
terest might be written upon the growth
and characteristics of wheat, but We have
notspnce to enlarge upon the subject farther.
The Touring mill mentioned above, we
are happy to say, is undergoing the most
thorough repairs and will ppon be in fine
running order. 1t will contain three run
of stone and be made capable OF manufac-
turing from at least fifty to sixty barrels OF
flour every twenty-four hours. Mr. SIssoN
is one of the very best millers IN the coun.
try, and he will spare no pains to make
every sack of -four in quality count one,
and under the present management the
mill will attain its full measure of success

a common table and an old-fashioned rope
bottomed bedstead we're desirable set for

purchase half dozen cane-sented chairs
were "well up" in the world, it might be
thought needless for the establishments Of
the foregoing character; but times have
materially changed, and nothing now
seems to content the mind in the selection
of furniture, but the most fashionable and
the best. And this, in character, is the
quality Mr.. HERRIcK intends TO make.
He has put in a turning lathe and employs
fine workman to operateit it. His special
ty is bed room sets, which are manufactur-
ed from the choicest black walnut and
white ash. His work is Of that excellent
quality that it all finds ready market in
Toledo and the enterprise bids fair to be-
come one Of considerable Importance
among the manufactures OF our growing
village.
DRY WOOD PULP HIANUF FACTORY.
BOWERS cURTTss, PRoP'Rs.
With all the multitudinous and different
purposes to which paper is now devoted, it
is probable that we are still on the edges
of discovery as to the variety OF uses to
which it is applicable. From its first OBJ
vious utility as a medium for the commu-
nication and preservation of written char
cctcrs, and afterwards its greater value
when printing was discovered, paper be-
came indispensable in almost every art and
trade, from that Of the engraver, who re-
quires the finest sheets for his pictures, to
that Of the retail grocer, who enwraps his
goods in the coarsest straw" or brown.
The manufactory Of Pulp, conducted
by Messrs. Bowers & CURTIss, is finely To-
Gated on the Hydraulic, near West Boun-
dary street, and is the second located on
our new and improved water facilities
And the machinery is being adjusted for
the manufacture of a superior article Of
Dry Wood Pulp, from bass, poplar, cotton
wood and maple. The machinery is excel
lent, and all the appointments Of their
large and we'll ventilated rooms, give the
institution an appearance Of business thrift
and enterprise. Twenty new cylinders are
being adjusted and will be put in motion
about the middle of June. The factory
will run night and day and furnish steady
employment TO dozen hands. The cylin-
derS are of the PhiladeIphIs make and will
do good work for 100 hours without sand
ing.

HOES, HALF RUSH ELS AND THEII
MANUFACTUKE.
B. T. srowELL, PRoP'R.


The wonderful increase of implem ents
of husbandry, which has become disting
uishing characteristic in the industries o.
our country is due, chiefly, to the necessi-
ties and demands of the tillers of the soil,
as we'll as to those inventive geniuses with
which our land abounds. Despite, too,
the application OF machinery to agricul-
ture there is and most probably always
will be necessity for performing much
labor by hand, that cannot be done by
implements in any other way. In
the department OF hand instruments
for garden and farm purposes, the past
few years have been marked by the i'm
provements in quality and style of tools
inv~nted especially for such purposes.
Among the many that abound in the
country we mention here the Hoe Factory
situated on the Hydraulic in our own viii
lage, and established by Mr.. B. T. Srow-
ELL about one year ago. THIS hoe was in
vented by the proprietor, and patented
January 5th, 1875, and is being introduced
and has become the welcome visitor of
those who have proven its value, either on
the broad field, or in the floral or vegeta-
BILE garden. The material used in their
manufacture is the very best of rolled steel,
are firmly made and have been christened
az "The Buckeye Hoe" These hoes are
meeting with ready sales in different parts
of the country, and the inventor expects to
put upon the market the coming season not
less than from $4,000 to 10000 of them.
In connection with the manufacture OF
hoes, Mr.. STowELL is engaged in the
manufacture Of a standard half bushel
measure, which is made of choice material,
true to the tenth part of gill, and we'll
finished. Under the excellent manage
ment of Mr.. S. this important establish
ment, added to the other manufactures Of
the place, has become one of importance
among us, and we hope it will, in future
have leading position among others Of
its kind in the United States.
