Twenty Years Together.

Messrs J. M. Cox & Bro, celebrated on
Friday, the goth of April, the twentieth anni-
versary Of their co-partnership. For a fifth
Of a century they have been engaged together
in the prosecution of the business left them by
their father, in the same place. The carriages
made by these gentlemen have an extensive
reputation for durability and excellence of
workmanship that commands for them the
admiration OF all who know them. While
other carriages may be sold at less price,
those put up by the Messrs. Cox are SO much
stronger, more durable, and better made, that
they are worth much more than the difference
in price. Within few years considerable
addition has been made to the building by
the erection Of large show and work rooms,
and blacksmith shop, to accommodate the in
crease of business. Notwithstanding the dull
times these shops are still kept running on
full time, employing almost as many hands
as when times were better. Last Monday
there was standing in front of their estab-
lishment family carriage sold to Samuel
Thompson, of Pivot Bridge, twenty years
ago, the wheels and axles being almost as
good as when first made. There have been
great many changes in Middletown within
the last twenty years, but this firm bids fair
to remain unchanged for the next twenty
years 10 come. There is one thing certain,
however, the business will not be handed
down to their posterity.
