much credit on the ability Of the firm and
the skill Of their employees, that they de-
serve special mention in our columns.
The fact that EmpOria has carriage fac

vehicles equal to the best in the country,
Is q matter OF considerable Importance,
and demonstrates that there is such u
thing as making home manufactures sue
cessful In Kansas. It takes skill, good
management, and perseverance under in
Vulnerable discouragements, but these
will finally secure public confidence and
approval, aud business patronage which
faithful work will be sure to retain. Ry-
an q Corners success Is an example to
other manufacturing enterprises. We
started out, however, to say something
about several OF the new carriages made
by Ryan d Conner. A few weeks ago.

We instance this carriage as a specimen
Of their work that they wish to be judged
by.

this year made o very large number Of
other various kinds OF vehicles, and done

We have constantly and steadfastly
stood by the EmpOria carriage factory, In
its present hands, claiming 1t would do
the best and finest kind of work IL the
people would give it their patronage and
keep their money at home, and are gratif- |
ed that they are now doing so. Similar
good Judgment in sustaining home manu-
factories in other lines Of trade, will bring
about similar results.
