There are dangerous counterfeits in cir.
culation purporting to be "Walnut Leaf
Hair Restorer." The strongest evidence
of its great value is the fact that parties
knowing its great efficacy try to initiate ii.
Each bottle of the genuine has fac simite
of walnut leaf-blown in the glass 4; and
a Green Leaf on the outside wrapper.
The "Restorer" is as harmless as water,
while it possesses all the properties ne
eessary to restore life, vigor, growth and
color to the hair. Purchase only from
responsible parties. Ask your druggist
for it. Each bottle is warranted. JOINS

enterprises, all under one and the same
management There is the Touring mill
the saw mill and lumber yard and the
plaster mill. The Touring mill has four
run of stone, and is operated upon both
merchant and custom work. The motive
! power used is both water and steam, a
50-horse power engine being in place to
| supplement deficient water power from
the canal feeder. About four years ago
Mr.. Lear made decided changes in the
mill, among other improvement putting
in machinery for the manufacture of flour
by the patent or middling's purifier pro-
cess. This change from the old method
has been warmly approved 10y the patrons
of the mill, and one of the results to be
found is what may be virtually called
home and neighborhood market con-
sumes all the flour made. Trenton is
among the large consumers; SO is the
neighboring village of Pennington, as
we'll as score of other villages here
ahouts, while, as matter of course, there
is large trade held with dealers and
private parties here in Lambertville.
The grinding capacity of the mill is
about 500 bushels per day, running "a
houls, and the grain used for the most
part comes from this immediate section.
Large quantities of corn meal and Of feed
arc annually made, and buckwheat flour
is also a speciality. 1t is evident, too,
that no effort is spared to supply Gus
toners with the most reliable and best
uniformity of product is aimed at, and,
as result, a reputation has been won
that is in itself the best commentary upon
the esteem in which the enterprise is
held. And while merchant milling is
carefully locked after custom grinding
receives none the less care, and farmers
have learned to have the utmost conf
dence in the mills.
We are not aware how great is the an
nual product of the plaster mill. The raw
material used all comes from Nova Scotia,
and the demand for the manufactured ar
ticles is fully maintained.
The saw mill and lumber department
of Mr.. Lears business is of decided con
sequence. The saw mill has cutting ca
pacity for about a, 200 feet per day. The
raw material-oak. ASH &C., comes from
this vicinity chiefly the hemlock being
RATED down the river from points above
the Water Gap.
Beside cutting lumber for his own yard,
large amount of bill stuff is cut each
year, so that, taken all in all, this lumber
business is much larger than the general
public is aware of.
In conversation, recently held with
our reporter, Mr. Lear spoke in very hope
| full terms of the trade outlook SO far as
his own business enterprises are concern
ed. He did not expect an extravagantly
large trade this year, but he felt there
was better feeling in the market, and
he expects to push his business. So fai
as that is concerned, he is an energetic
business-like man, and THE RECORD sin
cerely hopes that 1888 will prove a cred
letter year for him.

As we stroll along Main street we have
occasion to visit the dry goods store of
the above named firm. We say "dry
goods store, but that term hardly ex-
presses or does justice to the business
done, which comprises dry goods, fancy
goods and notions, groceries and provi-
sions. 1t is, comparatively speak ing, an
old established house, too, now having
been in existence, without change in pro
prietorship, for fourteen years. The
premises occupied, No. Al North Main
street, are, we should fancy, we'll adapted
to the trade in hand and it is evident to
any one conversant with the mercantile
interests of the city that the house has
won to itself trade of such proportions
as to prove the best evidence of its
popularity.
The co-partners in the firm are Levi and
Joseph Brown. These gentlemen are ma
tives of Bucks Co., in the adjacent COM
monwealth Of Pennsylvania. The senior
CO partner, Mr.. Levi Brown, has been
identified with mercantile interests here
since March, 1858, in which year he be-
came clerk for S. b. Britain, who was
then carrying on general merchandising
upon Church street. After clerkship of
eight years Mr.. Brown became partner
in the establishment, under the firm style
of Britain & Brown, and this co-partner.
ship continued three years, or until the
formation of the firm of Brown & Brother.
The Junior co.partner, Mr.. Joseph Brown,
was clerk for Britain & Brown for two
years-1S6G and 1867 then for a year he
was clerk in the railway offices here,
and at the expiration of that time he as
ISOLATED himself with his brother.
The co-partners unite in giving per-
sonal attention to the business in hand,
and they also ordinarily require the as
sistance of four clerks. They report last
years trade as having been somewhat in
excess of the preceding year, and they say
that SO opened well, but it is undoubtedly
fact in their experience as with their
fellow merchants generally, that business
has been rather quiet during the past few
weeks. All the same, the firm seem right
well satisfied with the outlook, and we
have no doubt that the year will compare
favorably with its predecessors. At all
events THE RECORD wishes continued
success to the enterprise
