R-ses sketch of Some of the Leading
Business Houses.
Cheboygan sustains conspicuous
place among the regularly laid out towns
of our lake coasts, and prospectively re-
ysrded rs among the most hourishing
villages in Northern Michigan. Its
commercial and manufacturing indus
tries. its financial standing, its educa Jon
nj facilities and church privileges, its
thrift and enterprise is decidedly COM
mendable. We furnish the readers OF
the TRIBUNE few sketches of Cheboy-
gan in this weeks issue, and regret that
circumstances prevent us from giving
fuller exhibit of this interesting and
rapidly growing village.
The churches at present are three in
number. One Congregational, one
Methodist, and Roman Catholic, and
are adequate for the Accommodations of
those who desire to attend religious
worship. ~

of the business of the town is shown by
the increase of mail matter passing

The causes that have conspired to ad-
vance the manufacturing interests of Che
boygan, may be found to rest quite as
much with the men engaged in these in
.lustrles, as in the natural or acquired
advantages of the place itself. Those in
terests born of private enterprise, and
carried forward to successful realization
by individuals, instead of corporate eff
for., are especially worthy OF study. A
acase in point, we refer to the business
