four floors, 4S1150, gave them enough room
until 1873, when another enlargement was
had by adding another story to the whole
building. These items tell the story of the
growth of the firms business, from an orig-
nal investment of about $500 to sales in
1879 which appropriated $sOo,OoO, and are
enough to indicate that, to have thus kept
pace with the rapid advancement of the
New Northwest, there must have been, in the
conduct of the business, some systematic
characteristics which recommend the house
to the trade, and command from it stable
support. Now, as from the first, the house
unites the manufacture of general line of
boots and shoes for the Northwest with the
wholesaling of eastern made boots and shoes.
The products of the manufacturing depart
ment are handmade and are preferred by
dealers and consumers to eastern makes Of
similar goods. The firm employs 125 me
chanics, (besides clerks and statesmen, 33)
and turned out from its manufacturing de-
partment last year about 5000 dozen pairs
of boots and shoes.

Blodgett & Osgood are makers of packing
cases Of all kinds used by merchants, and
cigar, soap and candle boxes. They are also
makers of ice boxes and the Fisher refrige-
rators and dressers of lumber. Their bust
cess was increased last year nearly thirty pc,
cent. over 1873, and they used during the
year about 100000 feet of lumber, costing
from ten to forty dollars per thousand.
Mr.. Giesen's business Of box making il
carried on in connection with his bindery,
which enables him at any time to add to the
regular bo1-making force of four and fill Or
orders promptly. His manufactures include
boxes for confectioners, milliners, shoe
makers, etc., got up in any desired style o,
size.
Albert Hanft's well fitted factory turned
out last year about 10000 cigar boxes. The
woods used include, besides imported cedar,
native Eastwood and poplar.
Judd & Co. have been but few weeks in
the cigar making business, and entered upon
it in pursuance of novel idea-that of unit
ing it with printing. The boxes are stamped,
marked and have whatever designs may be
desired printed directly upon the wood. An
ingenious adaptation of job press to this
work and the available resources of engrav-
ing, electrotyping, ETC., make it successful
as well as novel union of two lines Of bust
ness, which at first thought would seem to be
far apart. The woods used are mostly brought
from Florida and Cuba.
Jacob Pontius has q steady business in
supplying several leading mercantile houses
of the city with paper boxes.
George Thera turned out from his factory
last year "a 900 cigar boxes.
Weis & Son are the patentees and makers
of the well-known North Star egg cases, now
in common use throughout the Northwest.
The ingenuity shown in the invention and
perfection Of the egg cases has lately been
rivaled by Mr.. Weis in the design of Q sim
pie tool for making at one operation the but
ton fasteners of the cases.

of Useful Labor.

Men of st. Paul who have not closely OBJ
served what hes been going on in the city,
and especially The rapid progress of the last
seven years, and men outside who are in
fuenced by envy or jealousy, have so often
repeated, uncontradicted, the assertion that

they have made themselves and others be-
Paul is q manufacturing city as we'll as a
commercial emporium, and the GLOBE this
morning presents proofs of the fact in lists
of shops and manufactures, which show that
not less than one-third of the fifty-fve
thousand inhabitants of the city are sup
ported by mechanical employments-whi
the great wholesale traffic of the city is sup
plemented and swollen by local mechanical
products, which are sold throughout an
area vastly greater even than the large
field occupied by our merchants; and by skill
full artisans, who have set up their shops all
over the city, and are making articles of use
and ornament for the like of which we need

Europe. To collect this information the
GLOBE has sent its representatives to visit
every shop and mandatory in the city, with
instructions to make note Of all that would
serve to show the status of manufacturing
and mechanical industries in st. Paul, and
the employers interviewed will bear witness
that the information obtained from them is
freely and fairly used.
To correct the common erroneous impres.

This house is the best known and largest
IN manufacturing confectionery of any in
The Northwest. They manufacture all their
confectionery and, in addition are wholesale
dealers in cigars, crackers, fruit, nuts, etc.
Their trade extends over the entire North
west, reaching to the Black Hills and the
British provinces, and their annual sales are
constantly on the increase. 1t is the oldest
establishment of the kind in the city, and
the proprietors enjoy an enviable reputation
for enterprise and honorable dealing.

may greatly help the growth of the
city and the development of its industries
and commerce by making it a rule to patron
| ize home manufacturers and mechanics. We
are new community and few of us have
entirely outgrown the idea with which We
came West-that Wa were leaving behind us
all the art and skill of trained mechanics
and experts. In our Eastern or old world
homes we heard that this or that shop, fac
tory or place furnished the best articles, and
we are slow to learn that the West has drawn
to itself of the best artisans as we'll as the
most enterprising men of all enlightened
countries, aud yet slower to learn that the
old neighborhood's preferences were not al
ways founded on thorough information.
Then there is the vanity which gratiies it.
self by saying that this and that thing of
mine came from New York or Boston, or
France, England, Germany or Sweden
when there would be more sense, patriotism
and iustifable pride in saying, this fine ar
ticle was made here in st. Paul, where we
have Just as good manufacturers as you can
find anywhere. And here we wish to direct
attention to the fact that it is not only coarse
manufactures but also great variety of fine
f,,I al ri
Injuries, which are produced by our me-
chan1cs. and to add an assurance, based upon
the extended inquiries made for this paper,
that the best of work and best of products
may be had from st. Paul shops and manu-
factories.
Throughout this review it will appear that
the wholesale trade of the city is stimulating
and sustaining the local manufactures. 1t
will also appear that large proportion of
the wholesale traffic is in st. Paul manufac-
tares; and further, that the work
ers in special lines of manufacture
and mechanical industries, who are
established here, help materially to main
tain the position Of the city as a CONNER
cial and industrial center.
st. Paul made crackers, brooms,
brushes, beer, cigars, clothing, machinery,
ETC., are to be found on sale at every trading
point West and North; aud when a resident
of Minnesota, Dakota OF Manitoba has job
of fine mechanical work on hand he knows
he can have it we'll done in st. Paul.
From partial information covering nearly
every industry mentioned below we estimate
the products of mechanical labor in st. Paul
last year at not less than eight million dol
lars. In most lines of manufacture the trade
are good and an early increase of
working forces is anticipated, while several
new manufacturing establishments are to be
started here during the year. The mechan-
les employed on buildings and building ma
terials are expecting very busy
season, and generally all the industries here
referred to are in most prosperous condition
and will yield much greater products this
year than last.

G. Gotztan d Co.


Mr.. Conrad Gotzian, founder of this
house, began business in st. Paul in 1853, in
retail way, in little frame building on
Jackson street. In 1861 he moved into the
then new brick block at the corner of Jack
son and Fifth streets and began jobbing in q
small way, in connection with his retail
trade. Four years after his jobbing trade
had SO increased that he ventured to aban.
don the retail trade and confne himself to
the wholesale trade and manufacturing. In
the latter department he began with twenty.
five workmen. From the first the venture
proved successful and by 1869 the business
had become so large as to require the large
stone building, No. 13S East Third street,
which MIR. Gotzian erected, and which was
then three stories with q basement floor.
The business was now of such proportions
that Mr.. Gotzian felt the need of assistance
in managing it and in 1871 found the
man he needed in Mr.. Charming
Seabury, with whom he formed
the partnership entitled as above. Within
two years the firm was compelled to secure
more room and obtained the building No.
335, adjoining theirs and of the same di-
mansions and corresponding structure. The

Mr.. Forepaugh was the first person, in
company with Mr.. Auerbach, to embark in
an exclusive wholesale trade, and it was he
who erected the first 5-story block in the city.
MIR. Tarbox is equally as we'll known as be-
ing among the first persons who embarked
his capital in manufacturing in this city.
Up to 1868 the firm of j. B. Tarbox & Co.
we're engaged in the manufacture of shoe
pacs. In the spring of 1869 Mr.. Forepaugh
became interested in the business, and in
1872 the present firm of Forepaugh & Tar
box was formed and has continued business
ever since. In July, 1873 they removed to
their p, ssent quarters, Nos. 129 and 131
East Third street, having front of so feet
on Third street by $50 feet deep, four floors
and basement, all utilized to carry On their
business. The two upper floors are used
for manufacturing purposes. Their business
has grown up within the past few years
from comparatively small proportions to
100000 annually. They employ in the
neighborhood of 100000 capital in their
business. Their manufactures are mainly of
heavy goods for country and frontier trade,
while their stock for the wholesale trade in
cludes, besides their own makes, full lines
Of Eastern made goods. Their trade is
mostly in Minnesota, but extends into the
neighboring States and westward into Ne.
braska and Montana. They employ at this
time $50 mechanics and use forty horse
