of some careful thought. 1t indicates two
salient facts-1st, that there is one ele-

7. M. LICKLITFR

Notwithstanding the large number of
farm and spring wagons that are brought
here each year from other sections of
the country, we find that considerable
demand exists for homemade work. To
meet this demand Mr.. Lickliter is main
tanning well appointed wagon shop,
and it is certainly his effort to turn out
class of work that shall, by its own
merits, demonstrate its superiority and
especially its Staying qualities" over the
imported work
Mr.. Lickliter is man well adapted
to carry forward an enterprise of this
character. He is practical manufac-
turer; he has for "a years been connect
ed with the wagon making industry,
having begun the trade at Front Royal
when boy sixteen years of age, and
he has followed it since. Originally
from Shenandoah county, he has lived
in Augusta county since 1881, and in
Staunton since January, 1873. His shops
are upon Greenville avenue, and COM
prise two buildings, one of brick,
3ox6o feet, two floors; the paint shop is
three story frame, 3ox6o feet. Within
these premises employment is given to
an average force of ten skilled work.
men, and the number of Jobs turned out
is in keeping. This work is of a char
acter peculiarly adapted to this section
OF the country. Mr.. Lickliter has lived
in this county and been manufacturing
wagons long enough to thoroughly I'm
derstand and appreciate the needs of
the people, and, while we don't suppose
he would undertake to construct (under
guaranty vehicle upon the principle
of the Deacon's famous zone horse
shay, yet he does undertake to supply
our farmers with the best and most du-
rable vehicles of their kind, ranging in
price, for 2-horse farm wagons, at SIS,
$50 and SIS. A considerable quantity
of 4-horse wagons are also turned out.
and these vary in price from 500 to $12s
each. Spring wagons of different kinds
and values are also made.
We are not informed as to how many
vehicles, all told Mr.. Lickliter manu-
featured last year-he was not quite
sure, himself, when we asked the ques-
ton, but he said his business for 1884
was considerably larger than it was for
IS82-what it would prove for the year
just entered upon he had not the reno
test idea, SO much depended upon con-
tlngencies that might or might not arise
The market for these wagons is in this
and adjoining counties it is home
market--the sales are made to people
who know Of the excellence of the work,
and this, in itself, is one of the best re-
commentators. For its part, the VAL
LEY VIRG1NIAN is glad to see the enter
prise thrive SO well, and we wish it all
manner of good luck for the future.

named. Not nearly all his business i

named. Not nearly all his business is
transacted here; he buys at different
points along the c. & O. and B. & O.
railways, and his receipts and shipments
OF flour alone aggregate not far from
10000 bbls. per year, most Of which is
produced by mills in this section Of
country. The baled hay handled is
mostly from Augusta county, and con-
stitutes in itself large business. Mr..
Todd's operations in grain, such as
wheat, corn and oats FOOT up several
thousand bushels per annum, and, after
supplying very considerable market
here at home he ships the remainder to
the seaboard, doubtless most of his ship
ments going to his brother, Mr.. o. S.
Todd, who is one of the prominent COM
mission merchants of Richmond.
Mr.. Todd informs us that the prices
for wheat and flour are about the same
now as they were a year ago--hay is
somewhat lower. The receipts of these
articles have increased very much, as
will be seen by statement elsewhere
made in these columns, and Mr.. Todd's
business generally shows decided i'm
provement for 1883 over that of 1882.
He also informed us that the demand
for fertilizers was'increasing, and he ex-
poets to sell larger quantity this year
than ever before.
Mr.. Todd personally supervises the
affairs of the house, and the duties that
necessarily devolve upon him are mani
tested. Like majority of the mer-
chants of the city, he is young man;
originally from Richmond, he came to
Staunton thirteen years ago, and the
following year he and his brother c. S.
Todd engaged in business, establishing
the present house, and during the past
three years the same premises as now
have been occupied-they are admirably
adapted to the business in hand, and
constitute the central point for trade
OF such proportions as reflects credit
upon the house.
Mr.. Todd is worker-he spares no
effort to further his patrons interests
while advancing his own, and we hope
there are many prosperous years Of bus
mess in store for him. In addition to
attending to his mercantile duties he has
found time to serve the city in official
capacities. For eight years he was
member of the council, and for the two
past years he was chairman of the CITY
Finance Committee. Until recently he
was also president of the City School
Board. As "a city official and as business
man he merits mention at our hands.

goodsare also handled by the house, and it is
its ability to fill any order, however large,

Bradley is originally from Madison county.
