THE LUMBER INTERESTS
of the country comprise one of the
mostimportant features of the nation s
: industry and its growth and develop
ment is synonymous with the various
improvements and advancemeGts that
} are constantly in progress. AS regards
River Falls and vicinity this particular
interest is we'll represented in the es-
tabhshment and yards of F. j. Bur-
byte, and through whose energy the
business has been brought up to a
point which in Importance is not in
feriOr to any industry or enterprise III
the place. 1t has ever been the aim
of the proprietor in conducting bust
ness to secure to the public the best
possible advantages in the purchase of
lumber, and the good results of this
system have ever been realized in a
constantly increasing trade. The
yards are under the management of A.
g. HotchkiSs, a practical man; they
are conveniently located and supplied
with all kinds of pine lumber: building
and fencing material, sash, blinds.
doors. lath, shingles, &C., are all well
and largely represented. 1t is the
purpose of the proprietor to so con-
duet business as to increase the ad-
vantages of patrons, and while he eX-
poets to derive profit himself--which
is right and legitimate-he will ever
keep in view the old adage of live
and let live Mr.. B. is also the pro-
| prietor of large wood yard, which
under the supervision OF ID. A. Os-
trum is also an important element In
bosiness affairs, and a feature of the
greatest usefulness to the public. Mr..
B is one of our representative business
men, public spirited and liberal mind
| ed, and during long career here has
ever been foremost in all movements
that tended towards public advance
| ment.
| HARDWARE STOVES AND TINWARE.
This feature in the business inter-
ests of River Falls is literally repre-
scented, and as the leading element in
| this line we will allude briefly to the
| large, well stocked establishment of ).
| ID. Dodge 4 Son. This house was in
augurated in small way % years ago,
and is not only one of the first business
enterprises ever opened in River Falls,
| but is one of the pioneer concerns of
| the st. Croix Valley. From a small
| beginning has grown one of the lead
| ing elements in the mercantile inter
| ests of the village, and feature that
would grace with credit the business
circles of much larger place. Messrs
| d. & Son are the owners and occupants
of one of the largest stores in the
town, so feet in length by 25 in width,
| two stories high with basement, all
of which space is literally packed with
goods. Shelf and heavy hardware,
| farming tools. plows, cutlery, builders
and carriage makers hardware, stoves,
| tin and sheet iron, all make up stock
which for completeness and reliability
is scarcely inferior to the similar con-
Germs of our large cities. Messrs. d.
& Son carry far the largest line of
cook and heating stoves in Pierce
county. They are practical timers,
and make tin work of every deScrip-
| ton, an important element in business
transactions. During long career
here they have gained hosts of friends
and have built up an enterprise that
does credit to themselves and is an
| honor to our business interests.
BRACKET & SON,
manufacturers and dealers in harness
es, saddles, whips, blankets, robes,
| trunks, valiSeS, &C., are next on the
| list, and there is no enterprise in the
place more worthy of notice III this
| connection. This house was estab
lished about Is months ago, and to-day
| it is not only doing leading business
as regards the particular interest in
| this town, but it is one of the best
| stocked saddlery establishments in
| this section of the state, and is possess
ed of every advantage for supplying
| the public want that could be found in
| the concerns of our large cities. The
management of the business devolvcs
| upon +. A. Bracket, a practical man
| and skilled workman, as is also the
| two or three hands constantly employ
| ed The goods here are all made from
the very best of material and what
| has done much to enhance the pop
| ularity of the establishment is the ex-
| ceedingly low prices for which all
| goods are sold; and ''will not be I'M
| derSold' has ever been one of the
maxims of the concern. They carry
| a large stock of trunks and valises,
and the public of Pierce and st. Croix
counties Will find this establishment a
desirable trading place.
| NEXT ON THE LIST
Is the large and popular establishment
of G. ]. APP Roberts. This house was
established in 1856, however Mr.. r. has
been identified with the place more or
| less of the time since $780, A glance
over his large establishment of to-day
dlscloses stock of goods consisting of
a fine line of dry goods and notions,
| clothing, hats, caps, boots, shoes, gro
ceries and crockery, that would do
honor to the business circles of a much
| larger town. Here we find store Y
feet in length by 20 in width two
stories high with basement-one of
| the largest, best appointed in the place
and which together with a large
warehouse is well filled. Mr. Roberts
| carries a stock of goods, all depart
| ments of which is superior TO that
usually found in the stores of our pro-
| vincial towns, fact that the public
seem to have discovered, and the re-
suit is he numbers among his patrons
the better class of purchasers. Mr.. r.
is man of long experience in the mer-
camille business, and he has found the
secret, so popular with the public, of
| selling good and reliable goods at low
| prices, and the result is his establish
ment has not only become very pop
ular trading place but occupies po-
sition at the head and front of the
m ercantile interests of the county.
o. II. BEEDLE,
Carriage, Sign and ornamental painter,
is next on our list, and as a business
man none are more deserving place
in this review. Mr.. B. has been es-
tablished only about year, but he
has already gained a leading repHta-
ton. He was formerly from the east
and has been identified with some of
the leading establishments of the
country. He is not only possessed of
a natural genius for the business rep
resented, but has cultivated the art
until he is thorough master of his
business. Mr.. b. has recently moved
his headquarters over the wagon shop
of Mr.. Burns. He does the most of
the carriage painting of the various
shops of River Falls. and In either
branch of his business excels, and it
affords us pleasure to commend the
rputiemaTl FL the Duhlie of River Falls
