WOODEN MANUFACTURERs-GEo MERRITT g co.
While so many wooden mills have been shut
ting down and complaining of hard times, this
firm has been running night and day, with two
sets of hands. This exceptional prosperity is
attributed to their well-established reputation
for making standard goods of the best quality.
1t has been a noticeable fact that those mills
through the East, as well as the West, who have
been making the best quality of goods have not
been complaining of lack of orders. As an ex-
ample of this, the Riverside mills, of Providence,
are running night and day, and have withdrawn
their samples from the market, having sold their
production for six months

This great network of tea stores, now num-

the United States, is an outgrowth of the neces-
sites of the people The branches here, as else
where, offer presents of ornamental and useful
household articles so that the customer has
tangible participation in the profits. These pres
ents are given to assist in thoroughly advertis-
ing and introducing their excellent goods. By
this system of trading the purchaser receives the
full benefit and value of Advertising consequent
ly, the buyer and seller are both benefited The
wonderful success of the two stores here, the
one at No Bates House block, and the other
at No. l64 East Washington street. is due chiefly
to Mr.. David Pepper, the enterprising and ener
getic manager who has pushed the business dur
ing the less than two years Of his stay here as it
never was even dreamed of being pushed before,
and the trade of these two stores during the year
1884 has been simply immense. The outlook for
1885 is that the business of the year just closed
will be largely exceeded
