From a small beginning he worked
up business, until sweepers OF his

sold not alone In every State and
territory IN the country, bat m esery

ing that the business Was growing 20
an extent where II seemed advisable
To sdb-dIvide the labor necessary 10
carry it on, with close attention -
the "details required 90 make u "A sue
cess, IN 1888 he organized the Ousl
ness into stock company, purchas
ing al the same time the plants of the
Grand Rapids Sweeper Co, owned
by Chas Is judd and the Michigan
Carpet Sweep per Co,a stock company.
Thus associating with him others
who, while not having the extended
experience In the business that he
has had. yet had proved u be strong
competitors.
In the enterprise he also was joined
by many Of our prominent citizens.
That the venture was the right one
Is evidenced by the fact that, while
before the organization the business
had stood al the bead, in It's line of
manufacture since, with new inVen-
tions and productions combined with
their old and staple products, they
have reached position where II
would not be eXageration 10 say, that
they make fully three fourths of all
the carpet sweepers sold IN the
world.
This Is not strange, when one
takes into consideration that they are
the only ones that cOntine themsel-
YES wholly To the business, giving
their entire time and attention 10 the
details of producing perfect aud dur
able goods. Depending wholly upon
the sale of carpet sweepers, one can
see why they produce goods that
give such universal satisfaction, Is be
cause, through necessity, their future
trade depends upon that fact. The
present officers are: NJ. X. Bissell
president, c. b. Judd vice president,
J. w. Stone secretary, vi. Shaanahan,
treasurer. The enterprise of the
company is well shown In The fact
that afterthe dislsterous fire on March
II, 1884, which completely destroyed
their large manufactury, they were
again ready for business, and filing
large orders within 30 days from the
time the fire occurred.

HARTMAN'S ART GALLERY.

When one looks back few years,
it seems almost incredible that
even up to the time of the war, II
was common saying that there was
no art in the United States, and hut
little understanding or appreciation
of any thing IN the way Of artistic
principles. Yet, to day, Americans
are looked upon as the most liberal
and intelligent patrons of art, ana year
by year the na'ional store of great pie
lures, beautiful statuary, bronzes, etc,
becomes greater, and greater.
Vast sums have been paid by our
wealthy men for the masterpieces of
European art, and a visit to any one
OF our representative picture galleries
will show how great Is the attention
that Is devoted 10 such matters.
A reporter for the Tiegrom lately
visited the art gallery OF Mr.. c. :.
Hartman, the wei known dealer at %
Monroe street, and received such AT
tention from Mr. Hartman that ne
takes pleasure in acknowledging the
courtesy by sharing with the readers
Of the TELEGRAM the interesting ia
formation gained during that visit.
Mr. HarunaD's present collection OF
paintings and water colors includes
about seventy five original examples
by leading American artists at home
aud abroad, and will remain ON exhi-
bition for some time.
