AN EXTENSIVE HARDWARE Rs-
TAmHUrTn VUENT



These energetic citizens, whose success
has been most gratifying, have been in the
hardware business among US for at least
ten years, and meeting with degree Of
mercantile propensity that Is in high de.
gree meritorious. No one oan hope to sue
ceed in life merely by the force Of his own
genius any more than he can hope to live
without creating some influence for good
or evil in the community in which his lot
is cast. Success in life Is not the effect OF
accident or chance, II is rather the result
Of the intelligent application Of certain
fixed principles to the affairs Of every day,
and each man must make this application
according to the circumstances by which
he Is surrounded, No one could have un.
dersteod such principles which underlie
the success of business career more thor

A PIONEEH DRY GOODS & GRO.
CEHY HOUSE.
GILBERT BEACH, PROP'R.
The proprietor of this mercantile enter
prise came into the town of Perrysburg
in the year 1885, and opened a grocery
trade on Front street near the old Exchange
Hotel. At this time much Of the territory
embracing the corporate limits of the viii
lage was the resting place for the wild
beasts Of the forest, and an interesting In
dian trading post. The old-fnshioned great
wheeled stage was at this time used to con-
vey passengers and mail matter to Toledo
and around to Detroit. These cities at
this time were in their infancy, the inhab-
itants counting only few scores. After
conducting a successful business trade on
Front street for term of 20 years he pur.
chased the property where he now is, and
after remodling and giving it most thor.
ough overhauling he stocked up mis- rooms
with fine assortment of Dry Goods and
converted the premises into Dry Goods
Grocery and Provision store Mr.. b. is one
of the pioneers of the town, few of the inhab.
itants being left that we're settlers at the
time he located here. His sales-rocm in
dimensions is 22x50, his ware-room 20x65
His goods embrace general variety of for
eign and domestic merchandise, and il
point of excellence are not excelled by any
merchant in town. His grocery depart
ment is full and adequate to the demands
of the market. Mr.. B., during his almos
one-half century of mercantile life ha
built up fine custom trade and his sale
aggregate largely. Anything in the DIR.
Goods, Grocery, or Provision line may b
obtained at his store building, ant
his goods disposed of at very small
margin of profit. He is located near tn
postoffice, on the east side of Louisinn
Ave-, and we desire him the SUCCESS lie g
justly merits.
