A reporter of the EAGLE yesterday visited
the large carriage repository of j. L. Coop
er. now in room No. 125 West Douglas ave-
nue.. The gentlemanly proprietor took e.
pecial care to show the reporter all of the
features of interest belonging to this estab-
lshment and it was highly appreciated from
the fact that it is another of the cid inter
ests of Wichita which has spread from a
small beginning TO that Of jobbing and
wholesale proportions. Mr.. Cooper began
business in 1870 with limited amount OF
capital in this county as farmer. After h
five years turn at agriculture he removed
into this city and established the livery bust
ness. In connection with this business b,
started the buggy and carriage interest
Finding that Wichita and Southwestern
Kansas were throwing off the ways of the
pioneer days and were taking on metropoli-
tan proportions, Mr.. Cooper rented his
commodious livery stable, secured his pres
ant location, sold off his old stock and went
east to inspect all of the new methods, sp-
planes and schedule of prices appertainine
to the carriage business. After thorough,
posting himself upon every phase of th'
business, both with regard to buying and
the new field for selling en- an extended scale.
he purchased large and complete stock OF
everything in this line, including harness,
whips. lap robes and fancy carts, etc. Mr..
Cooper is now in the business that he has
proven compatible with his taste and he in
tends to spread it and push it to the utmos,
of his power. This is what the country
needs, and now Wichita can furnish any
thing in Mr.. Coopers line just as cheap a.
anyone can buy in Kansas City or other
eastern markets.
