This house is one of the most reliable

a desirable trading place.
THE MEAT MARKET
| of Fox & Pratt, is worthy of an extern
| ded notice in this connection. This
| firm was recently established as the
successor to John Barnard, but the
establishment, has lost nothing of
former prestige and popularity by the
change. The establishment is provid-
| ed with a good refrigerator, and every
convenience, for keeping stock in first
| class condition, and is always supplied
with the very best fresh, salt
| and smoked meats, fresh vegetables,
| that can be procured. Evidence of
| this is indicated in the fact that they
are already doing leading business.
Both men are possessed of many years
practical experience and know what
| is required to make such an enterprise
| a success. There is 10 element in the
| business affairs of any community of
| more actual necessity to the wants
and comfort of the public, and
as an enerprise deserving
| well at the hands of the River
Falls public we will allude to the es-
tablishment of Fox & Pratt.
RIVER FALLS CANDY FACTORY.
This enterprise under the proprie-
torship and management of G. G. Car
Teton, is comparatively new feature
in the business interests of the place
but is fast gaining in prominence,
Mr.. @. makes over 80 different varities
of candy, and his capacity is ample to
supply or fill any order that may be
received. The dealers of this section
will do well to confer with Mr.. Car
Teton before purchasing, as he can
| offer inducements worthy of consider
| alton. Mr.. Q. has been a resident here
| for many years, formerally in charge
of the telegraph Office at this place,
he has also filled the position of assis-
| tant P. NJ, tax collector, express agent
and various other offices of trust and
responsibility. He is well known as
an honorable and reliable man and in
| his new but laudable undertaking
should be well and literally sustained.
PETER E. BRADSHAW s. co.
Is the style of one of our leading mer-
| camille establishments, and worthy
feature of River Falls, business inter
ests. This house, established about
three years ago at once assumed and
has ever continued to maintain place
| in business matters not far from the
| lead, and is one of the most popular
trading places in the country. The
stock here consists of dry goods and
| grocerieS-the leading features-also
| clothing, hats, caps, boots, shoes. &c.
| They are the occupants of one of the
| largest stores in the place 10 feet III
| length by 25 in width, with all the
| space we'll filed. The character 0 f
goods are excellent, fact that has
secured good class of patrons, and
| given to the house a reputation for re-
liability. The grocery department,
comprises the largest and best stock
| in the place, and this feature together
with teas, tobaccos and cigars is a
speciality. The appurtenance and ar
| rangements of the store are all that
could be desired, and with good goods
and low prices for a motto, the house
has gained position among the best,
oldest and largest in the county.
| BOOKS, STATIONERY &C.
| Under this head we will allude brief
| ly to the establishment of Z. Z. & H..
L. Levings. There is no feature in
| the business interests of any commun-
| ity that fills sphere of greater useful
ness, or one that is more Observing
of being sustained. This house estab-
lished in limited way about years
ago, has grown to be very important
| element in the mercantile interests of
River Falls and so far as the char
ter and quality of goods are con-
cerned can compete fully with the
similar concerns of our large cities.
The stock embraces school and blank
| books, miscellaneous reading news,
periodicals, magazines, wall paper
and the thousand and one articles Of
use and ornament found only in first
class establishments of this character.
As valuable and useful feature of
our business interests we allude TO the
enterprise, and it should receive the
support and encouragement of every
citizen in the place.

In this line II. G.. Haven is the lead

concerns of River Falls, but one of the
Oldest established business houses in
this section of the state. This house
was inaugurated "a years ago, Mr.. Ii.

house in the place, and commencing
business in small way, and notwith-
standing, he has passed through the
