| Z. n. Hendr1ck'S New Stock.
L. H. Hendrick received another
lnstallment Of his holiday jewelry yes
terday, and is expecting the remainder
IN day or two. With the new stock
is another showcase similar to the two
received before.
Mr.. Hendrick was in the iewelrv
and silverware business in Sterling,
ILL.,, ten years ago, and later moved to
Chicago, and two years ago estab.
lished business in HALEY, at watch
making and repairing. He started
his business June /, 1881, in tent
on Main street, at which time there
were only three other stores in town.
J. .. Swift 4 Co. and Riley 4 Tracy
had the only frame buildings in Hal
ley at that time, and all the other
merchants We're camped under can
vas. At the opening Mr.. Hendrick
had only watches, and few OF them,
but soon secured lively business III
repairing all the worn-out, cheap
timepieces carried by miners and pros
pectors, as well as in overhauling sill
verware and jewelry. In May, 1882
Ell ght months ago-he received from
Chicago his first invoice Of jewelrv
and one large showcase, and in Sep
TENDER last received second large
showcase and larger stock Of jew
, elry, watches, silver plate and solid
service. Mr.. Hendricll succeeded
well, and extended his trade from
Camas Prairie to the Sawtooth Noun
tains, notwithstanding several rivals
endeavored to compete with him, and
to-day he has the trade exclusively to
himself, and is prepared to maintain it
against competition.
) In the repairing of watches and
jewelry he has no superior in the Ter
ritory, and in keeping a fine assert
ment Of rare, useful and ornamental
ware and articles of virtu in solid coin
r silver OF heavy plate, he does not in
tend to be behind any competitor
even in the Capital.
