LARGE BUSINESS.

the country our people have felt the
effects but little comparatively with
other towns. We have in this city q
class of business men who are not to
be headed off by crying wolf, and
business has gone along much as in
former years, and improvements have
not stopped for even single day.
Our merchants, with one accord,
made ready for dull times and with
one accord are making ready for the
flourishing times just now dawning.
On this subject we may be pardon
ed for mentioning that on Saturday
evening, in passing the mammoth es-
Enlistment Of Messrs. w. A. Jordan
& Sons our attention was attracted to
the immense stock of goods covering
the side walk and floors Of the build
ing from Main to Commercial streets.
The shelves are piled full of fancy
goods and notions, dress goods of al
most every variety, silks, satins, and
fabrics Of still greater value were
piled up in endless profusion. Dress
goods Of the more common varieties,
calicoes, muslins, and goods of like
character by the car load, boots and
shoes in quantity and variety snlii-
ctent to please and furnish foot wear
for Wapello county, almost, were
heaped up to tho ceiling. 1t was .
wilderness of fine goods and costly
fabrics hcapcd together in q promis-
cuous shape to be got ready for
the coming Fall trade. On the floor
east Of the Dry Goods Department,
John Jordan, assisted by his brother
Charlie, presides over the finest stock
of ready made clothing and piece
goods in the city Of Ottumwa.
This room also runs from Main to
Commercial street and contains q no
mean fortune in clothing and fur
nishing goods. Mr.. Eichman, Of
New York, the genius of the shears,
who can almost cut suit of clothes

is meeting hearty welcome from
the people of the city and country,
and is crowded with work for weeks
ahead.
The second floor of the dry goods
is occupied by carpets in
great profusion, from the common
hand wovc rag to the most costly
Brussels of the handsomest patterns.
Over the clothing department is the
Millinery store and Millinery shops.
1t would make lady's eyes dance
with pleasure to witness the large dis
play Of head gear, flowers and fancy
articles slowed away in this room.
The third floor is occupied by the
work shops, and storage rooms of
goods not in constant demand. In
fact it is a mammoth establishment
and every thing about it under the
supervision of A. c. works with clock
like precision not jar or clog
about the whole concern from one
years end 10 another. Each ONE OF
the twcnty-three persons employed
about the establishment know their
places and are always to be found
there. Hence, the system and the
possibility of doing the business they
do.
They buy their goods in very large
quantities from first hands, get all the
margin ordinarily made by middle
men, and thus are enable to give theil
customers the benefit of great bar.
gains.
1t is well worth while for the read.
