Manufactures OF Buffalo Far Goods.
276 JACKSON STREET.
No maxim is truer than the fact that
liberal treatment of customers by CONNER
cial house will invariably win and retain
large clientage, and in the case of the firm
above mentioned this course has proven
eminently successful their methods are to
pay in cash the highest market price for furs,
hides, pelts, tallow, wool, &c, and the result
has been that their quick remittance system,
persistently pursued, has permanently placed
the names of over 800 shippers on their
books.
1t NAV not be uninteresting to our readers
to call brief attention to the ability OF this
house to meet any demands OF trade that
NAV be made upon them. Their extensive
warerooms at 276 Jackson street are crowded
with a heavy stock of goods which they are,
as they come in preparing for export; indeed,
their export business in raw furs is phenome-
nal III its magnitude, extending throughout
all the fur buying countries OF Eu-
rope They have organized their bust
ness into three departments, each
of which is ably managed by skilled chief.
The manufacturing department. is devoted to

are using in this branch all
kinds of furs from buffa-
10 to seal, and something over thirty differ
ent styles of garments are produced and fin
ished in truly perfect style as regards cut
and finish 1t has always been conceded
that there are great difficulties in the way of
giving perfect fit to a fur coat and their sue
cess in this line has made their products pop
ular favorites on the market, and is a wit
ness to the thorough knowledge of their
business which they possess.
In the hides department the buying and
preparation Of hides, pelts, and wool are
given special attention-all consignmeDts
made to them in this line are like all their
other specialtes paid for cash DOM, making
very desirable feature for the shipper, as
spot money always talks and talks loudly.
In fact, taking into account the
perfect system which reigns in this
house in the disposal and handling
Of merchandise, their popular ready cash
methods of buying and the personal respect
and esteem in which the members of the
firm are held we are not surprised at the
strides which their business is making annu-
ally, especially throughout the inlands
OF the Dakotas, and we predict remarkable
future for these bright and enterprising
young men.

STRONG, HACKETT s. CO.,

HARDWARE, nos. 215, PIT & 219 EAST FOURTH
STREET.
This strong old firm is located at Nos. 213,
215, 217 and 219 East Fourth street, occupy
ing building 60x120, five stories, having
six floors. The house was established nearly
twenty-five years ago by the present senior
partner, Mr.. c. D. Strong, and for the past
twelve years Mr.. c. w. Hackett has been an
associate. In that time it has grown from
an infant to the leader in its line in the en-
tire northwest Growing with the country,
and keeping fully even with the best in the
land in enterprise and activity, it has been
the pioneer in supplying the new territory
with goods exactly suited to the demands,
and has so developed that now it covers more
territory and sells more goods than any
other hardware house that exists in the re-
gion.
Of course the line of goods carried by a
house Of this size include an almost innu-
merable variety, and the utmost care is re-
quired in the selection of appropriate and
desirable makes and styles. The catalogue
of the house is a most interesting volume,
and it is of mammoth dimensions, contain
ing over six hundred leaves filled with illus
trations. Over fifty men are con-
stantly employed in this house,
and on the road and the territory visited and
supplied is simply enormous. This great es-
Enlistment is for convenience, and in fact
from absolute necessity divided into sepa-
rate and distinct departments, each having
its special superintendent, who is responsible
for its proper and prompt administration.
Department A-Includes mechanics and
farming tools.
Department Blocks, latches and build
ers' hardware.
Department C-Miscellaneous hardware.
Department D-Tinners' wares, trim
mings, tools, etc.
Department Gums and sporting goods
This last department is very interesting
and complete, the house making a speciality
of everything in this line, including guns,
reyolKers, ammunition, fishing, tackle, tents,
and countless other goods. -"

DRUGS PAINTS & OILS,

That there is a constantly marked increase
in the sale of these articles will go without
the saying. The rapid increase in the num-
Der of new houses not only in st. Paul, but
all over this va st Northwest requires an i'm
mense amount of paints and oils to beautity
and preserve them, to say nothing of the 9TH
er uses to which they are put, and so long
as man is mortal he will use drugs in the
vain hope to prolong his mortality. The sales
in this line last year amounted to 81, 50O,O 900.
For the first half the present year they reach
the sum of 81, $50, 900.

SADDLERY AND LEATHER.

This line of business has not been over
looked by the far seeing business men who
have chosen st. Paul as their base Of oper-
atoms, and they are reaching out all over
the northwest for trade and during the first
half of the year 1884 they have made sales TO
the amount of $3.50, 500 and dealers report
constantly increasing orders. Although we
have no extensive tanneries, yet the trade
has found out that they can buy to better
advantage in ST. Paul than in Chicago or
other eastern or southern cities.

HARDWARE.

This branch of business is rapidly in
creasing in amount, fact which is easily
accounted for when it is remembered that
the articles which are included in heavy
wholesale stock in this line of goods enter
very largely into the necessities of new
country for building and furnishing from
the claim Shanty of the settler to the palatial
mansion of the millionaire. The st. Paul
dealers appreciate this fact and are prepared
to meet it. An idea of the magnitude of
this trade in st. Paul can be gathered from
the fact that the amount of sales in this line
for the first six months of the year reached
the immense sum of 50, $50, $50.

! municated to, and ruined their premises.
But their business was uninterrupted, and
they were Immediately ready for operations
at their present location, Numbers 225 and
227 East Fourth street, where they have a
building thirty-seven by one hundred and
twenty-five feet with six floors, five of which
are filled with goods of every descrip-
ton known to the lines
they represent The sixth is
devoted3to one branch of their manufactur-
ing There are twenty-seven men employed
in the house, independent Of the factories,
and the business is conducted in the most
systematic and thorough manner. In the
basement are immense stores of heavy goods
and material used in the factories, and above
are an endless variety of goods required by
the harness makers and dealers of the north
west Arranged in the best possible order
are harnesses, whips, blankets, nets, collars
and the thousand little articles known to the
trade, while on the shelves are the many
small but important goods which are known
as saddler's hardware, and which are so
necessary in the construction of harnesses,
riding saddles, etc.
Leather and shoe findings are an import
ant factor in this great stock, and the house
supplies the boot and shoe makers, through
out the entire northwest with their goods,
being considered the most reliable and lib
eral of any engaged in the business, while
their stock is by far the largest of &any west
of Chicago. Their stock of fine European
feathers, calf, kip, etc, is always full, and
they are noted among the trade for carrying
the best and most complete stock in these
lines, the goods being of their own importa-
ton.
The manufacture of boot and shoe uppers
has become a most important branch of their
business and in this industry they employ
thirteen girls and four men in the airy fifth
story of their store. But their operations are
not confined here, as they have on Dayton's
bluff spacious factory supplied with the best
machinery, where forty-five men are engaged
in manufacturing horse collars, saddles, bri-
dies, nets, halters. and all kinds of strap
work.
A fine brick store, 3Sx142 feet on the
ground, with six stories, is now being con-
structed on their old site, Nos. 1856 and 1873
East Third street, under the supervision of
Mr.. Harden bergh, and hence exactly fitted
for its purpose and the firm will occupy it
early next month.

CORNER FIFTH AND SIBLEY STREETS.
Away back in 1860 the firm of Nichols S
Dean was formed in st. Paul to prosecute the
business of dealing in heavy hardware and
carriage and wagon builders supplies. 1t
was started on small, modest scale, as the
territory tributary to this now large city was
then extremely limited. 1t viii be remem-
bered that the iirm for many years occupied
limited quarters in two-story building on
East Third street, near Wsbasha. That old
store could almost be placed intact in one
story of the magnificent store the firm now
occupies, and there would be room left to
drive team all around it. Such has been
the entire history of st, Paul: from small be
giuniugs such mighty results have been
achieved as are seen on every side at the
present day.
The original firm of Nichols & Dean
consisted of John Nichols and W. B.
Dean, and after the death of the senior
partner the style of the firm was continued,
his son, J. Ross Nichols, who had been
brought up in the house, assuming active
relations. From the original store the
iirm was finally obliged to move, and in 1883
they took possession Of the mammoth ware

AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.

1t is not surprising that the sales of agri
cultural implements are on the increase
from year to year, when the vast area of the
finest land in the world comprising almost
every acre of the Northwest, most of which
is still waiting to be ''tickled by the plow,"
is taken into account During the six months
OF the present year ending June 30th the st.
Paul dealers made sales to the enormous
sum Of 81, 389, 500. This demonstrates that
st. Paul is the great distributing point for
this class of goods.

CROCKERY AND GLASSWARE.

While not counting up into the millions
so far as sales are concerned, yet, when the
reader stops to think moment in regard to
this branch of business, he will come to the
conclusion that half million dollars repre-
sents an immense amount of these articles.
This branch of business is on the increase
and whereas the sales last year were nearly
$500, 900, the sales bid fair to reach nearly
double that sum as they amount to 1912, 900
for the first half of the year.

This branch of business covers wide
field of industry and gives employment to
large number Of men. 1t requires heavy
capital to carry on its manufacture. Yet by
far the largest portion Of the sales is that OF
machinery manufactured at home. Few
cities Of 1885, 900 have more money invested
in this branch Of business than ST. Paul,
and the people of the northwest are fast find
ing out that they can obtain better article
here at much less cost than they can in any
other city. The sales for the first half of the
year amounted to 1896, $50.

in Difference to the great value and repute of the
illustrious new conner the interior had been
newly padded Close by, also, was a new iron
house for his groom to sleep in, as it was not
deemed advisable that treasure worth 5000
sovereigns should be any distance off the
stud groom's house without having a
constant attendant. 1 had been all
the morning looking over matured stations and
after this thoroughbred horse Just ont of
training always looks at his worst There is not
the bloom of the trainerss art about him, and
without the ronndness that is brought about by
high feeding, rest and idleness a horse looks all
shades and angles. Thus o first look at Barcal
dine now suggests great, hne young hunter in
the raw, but the eye can quickly detect all the
magnificent points that, as a rule make up the
great race horse
very big horse is Barcaldine. He stands
sixteen hands one and three-quarter inches high,
is a good hard bay, with black legs, with an in
telligent head, much finer and more character
istic of blood than he might have had from his
Melbourne descent, and it is set on neatly to a
long powerful neck, which meets tremendous
shoulders, not heavy, but WIDE and the withers
prominently high, with great depth behind
the shoulders. tall jockey must have looked
well him, while a shortlegged, little fe-
low, could scarcely have spurred him
in the right place. His hips are a bit
high, wide from one to the other, his loins be-
ing quite of weight-cauying proportion and
his quarters are wide enough to fit him for a
wagon horse, and long enough to please the most
eXacting in race horse conformation He had
capped his hooks but they were of a correspond
ing powerful order and his fiat legs, so big in
bone, are all in proportion. 1 have certainly
never looked over a more powerful race horse
than Barcaldine and l should doubt whether a
more powerful one has ever been bred.
Quite an unbeaten certificate has Barcaldine
He won four times as two-y ear-old, beating the
best Ireland could produce. He won four times
as a three-year-old, including the Baldoyle
Derby and two Queens plates. 1t is well known
how his turf life was cut short as q four year
old, but as fveyear-old he proved himself to
be about the best horse of his time, as he beat
Tristan twice. won the Orange cup at Ascot, and
the Northumberland plate under nine stone, ten
pound This makes twelve winning races with
out defeat, and there is no horse of the day that
can show such a certificate.
