READY Foa BusiyEss AcAtS.--
The people Of this county, and
those along Che Great Kanswba
Valley, know Mr. W. B. Gable, the
Hardware merchant Of this place.
He was the first man to venture
out in the exclusive business Of
.inware, stoves and hardware.
From this venture, commenced
fourteen years ago, on a small scale,
II has grown until he can now
boast aslatge a store, and one
us well stocked with goods, as you
will find in any town along the
Ohio or Kanawha rivers. BY his
industry and close attention to
business, he has been enabled to
build it mp to what 1t istoday, and
in bis efforts to help himself, he
has been Of great benefit to the
Town in general; and ifother mer
chants in other lines, had followed
his example. the great trade Of this
valley might today have been con.
tered in this town, where Of right
itbelongs, and II would not DO
going pass our very doors, to en-.
rich the merchants Of other towns
outside Of our own State.
Last February we had the most
fearful and destructive flood on
record, and BY it MIR. Cable was a
heavy loser; but this was not all,
for when the water was at its
highest, his BODYBUILDING took FIRE
and burned out all Of the second
story down 10 the water, and by
this fire he lost some 5000 in ad.
diIion to his losses by the flood.
But he did not stand by and grieve
over his great losses, but with that
indomitable will and energy, pecu.
lior to himself, he went to work TO
rebuild. His building is now COM
pleted and stored full Of nice new
goods in his line.
To particulatize: Thebuilding is
two.stories high 40 by 80 feet, with
a ware.room in the rear "a by sol
feet. On the first floor are two
store rooms, one Of which is fllOd
full Of hardware, stoves, tinware'
and fancy goods. The other room
is used for moving and reaping
machines, drills, p!owS and other
farming implements, and for stove
and machine castings, pumps, &c,
The room over the store is occu.
pied as a shop for the manufacture
Of tinware aud roofngSof which he
Makes specially. The other room
is filled with doors, sash, blinds,
flooring, builders hardware, glass,
and other goods used in building.
The ware.room is filled with CO.
ment, lime, fire clay, friedrich and
tiling. In all these departments
his stock is full and complete, and
whatever you call for you will gel.
To the business Mr.. Cable gives
his personal attention, in every
department. He has as his assist.
ant and book.keeler, Mr.. S. ".
Dodge, and q finer ard better bust.
ness man than This gentleman is,
Gun not be found anywhere, and
Mr.. Cable is to be congratulated on
securing the services Of so good a
man, and one who is SO deteryedly
popular with the people.
Mr., Cable informs US that, while
not noglecting his retail trade, he
intends to engage largely in the
wholesale business in all the lines
he carries, and that he will SO con.
duct the business as to make it to
the advantage Of dealers, to buy
from his house.
AS business man, and as a fair
dealing man, and one who is scru.
pulously honest, and whose sword
IS us good as his bond," we cherfully
commend him to all buyers, from
the frugal housewife in quest of a
frying pun, to the farmer who is in
need of reaping machine.
