The Wagon Mandatory of w. c.
Grimes, is fiourishing to an unusual
extent at the present time. His
wagons have a reputation second to
none for durability and general style
of workmanship, and as a natural
consequence, as the years increase, the
demand for the Grimes Wagon also
increases. Yesterday evening he
shipped twenty light two-horse wag-
ons to Lawrence, Kansas, and to-mor-
row he will ship twenty more to
Kansas City. He is now working
between thirty and forty hands full
time, and fell the product of their
labor as fastas it is ready for market.
The wagon business in the West is
an important branch of industry, and
we are glad to know that we have one
of the most extensive manufactures
west Of Chicago, and that it is able to
run full complement Of hands on

their make, is supplied for lifetime
Their carriages, buggies, and spring
wagons, are found everywhere, and
for general excellence are never cx.

Messrs. Bauer 4 Kcister, at the foo,
of Union street, also are manufactu
ring wagons quite extensively. They
have only been in business littl,
more than a year, but none of theil
work has ever been returned for re
pairs. Their work is built Of tn,
very best material to be found in mar
ket. They are having a very excel
lent trade, and as an indication of tn,
popularity Of their wagons, it may b,
! proper to state that their wagons arr
sold almost as fast as completed.
The mandatory of Messrs. Viii

i. fine wagons. They have had an ex'

which are the most popular in use ii
