THE LUMBER INTEREST OF CHEBoYGAN
-BULLEN & NELSON.
The amount of capital invested in the
lumber business of Chebcygan. is per-
haps much greater than is generally
supposed, and the extent of the opera
tons OF the various companies, firms and
individuals engaged in the manufacture
and sale of lumber in this county requir-
es no little space to properly outline in
an exhibit like this. The several mills
on the Cheboygan river engaged in the
manufacture OF lumber, are each of great
magnitude and well deserving OF n
lengthy notice i'm this issue. but as our
space is limited we will at present make
particular mention of but the one that is
conducted by the firm above mentioned,
which will be taken as sample oil the
rest situated i'm this section OF country.
This mill was founded in 1871, by MessrS.
Nelson 81 StrOhn, but in 1876, MIR. Strohn
disposed of his interest to Mr. Bullen,
since which time the firm name has been
of Bullen & Nelson. The company i'm
mediately after its organization. enlarS-
ed operations and capital aud energy
were called upon to utilize and deve,Op
the resources.
The main building of this steam mill
is 120x40 feet, and the other minor build
ings connected gives it the reputation
of being the best constructed and flour
ishing enterprise of the kind i'll North
ern Michigan. 1t has capacity for mali
ufacturing eleven millions of feet per
annum, BIZ day work. and employs from
forty to fifty hands and the Whole indus
try conducted with clock like regularity.
VIM. Strohn. Esq, has the management
and control of the affair, and is assisted
by Luke Cross who has had many years
experience in the manufacture OF lumber.
The lumber is all shipped to Chicago
and sold OH commission.
The magnitude of such operations can
scarcely be comprehended by one not
engaged i'm the lumber trade and Yet the
business is only OF one concern where no
ostentatious display is made. This firm
has enjoyed a prosperous career-iis in
tluence in business circles is by no IN cans
insignificant and its success is but ii mer-
tied tribute to the business capacity and
enterprise Of the firm and the foreman
who have the management.
MERCHANT TAILOR-C. j. ROSENBLAND.
Until within comparatively few
years, mems and boys clothing. like
women's clothing, was almost entirely an
article of home manufacture; shat is, the
clothes were actually cut and made in
the household where they were 10 be
worn. This WAS especially true in the
rural regions of the United States, when
every farmers wife knew how to weave
wool into stout ''hOmespun" cloth. and
could dye ii, cut the clothes. and make
serviceable, if not elegant, articles of ap-
parel. This is still true of many parts OF
the country, particularly OF many newly
settled portions of the West and South
where the well known cloth of home
manufacture supplies good stout clothing
tor farmers and their sons. Indeed there
was in the old Colonial days time when
some of the best and richest men in the
country appeared in the Legislature, in
Congress and everywhere in public, in
well made suits of domestic manufacture
While we do not wish to speak disparag-
| ingly of the advdncemcnts of the age,and
| of many garments turned out by the uses
of machinery, yet We do say that for
good fitting and durable apparel the
PRACTICAL and experienced mechanic will
give the best satisfaction. The gentle
man whose name heads this article has
mad lifelong experience i'm his profess
sion and resident of ChebOygan county
eight years. He keeps good stock OF
piece goods to choose from and manufac-
turrs his suits upon honor. He makes a
speciality of cleaning soiled goods, cut
ting out garments and repairing. His
headquarters are on Main street, and is
having fine run of business, because
those who patronize him get the full
worth of their money.
GROCERIES AND PRovISIONS-GALLIG-
AIIR& MCDONALD. PROPS.
The reputation of this house is too
firmly established to Require comment
at our hands. Its trade aggregates large
ly, and reaches over large territory. Its
foundation was not laid so much upon
capital as upon fair dealing. For three
years this grocery and provision store has
been in successful operation, the pro-
prietOrs opened it i'm confidence assured
of success, and their business has been
upon the increase from the beginning.
until now they have one of the finest
class of patrons of any store of the kind
in town. The stock of groceries and pro-
visions is very large now, but the inten-
ton is to make it much larger and more
complete as soon as they remove to their
new double store building, which is now
in course Of completion. Their stock of
goods is of excellent quality embracing
all classes OF such goods as are kept i'm a
first-class grocery and provision store,
consisting of spices, canned fruits, flour,
Syrups, sugars, teas, cOffees. and wares.
