surprise Will only convey slight ldea
of our establishment in visiting the recently
established manufacturing house of Stan
ley, Woolsey & Fisher, and although
young, now well and favorably known a.
the
MONARCH MANUFACTURING COMPANY
of Sedslia. Our curiosity being! aroused,
we necessarily were DESTROYS of some in
formation in regard to the history of the
establishment, and requested the firm to
give us some details in connection with
their business, we were cordially invited to
a comfortable seat in their cosy Office.
We were informed that the
COMPANY HAD BEEN FORMED
the oath day of January, 1884, consisting Of
c. G.. Stanley, who has general supervisors
and looking after their large city trade;
J. H. Woolsey, manufacturing chemist,
and J. P. Fisher, superintendent of tho
laboratory and bottling and preparing
goods for the market.
The cash capital invested is sl5, 900 with,
ample resources to increase as business de-
mands to $4,000.
The next thing in order being a polite

ment. We found two men packing and
marking goods. The next department
which came under our observation was

and experienced hands than any of the
other departments. This is the

One can we'll imagine themselves in q
bower of roses. All the known odors. the
latest and most popular, are manufactured
by this firm. These odors are manufse-
tured directly from the pomades. Among
the most exquisite is their white Lilac
"Pansy Blossom" "Lotus Bloom" "Wila

At the present time they only employ
three men, and yet they cover a vast
amount of territory. Their goods are
