C8-4oL u4 ~ l-lEde Oh AlAlA JANUS near
Long Island, has a fine business build-
ing, and last summer built one Of the
finest residences in the city. Mr..
Young is one of the solid men Of the
county.
Our other hardware firm consists Of
HULLNG & ANDERSON,
who about months ago associated
themselves together for the purpose OF
conducting an exclusive hardware bust
ness. 8Ir. Hitting, the senior member
OF the firm, had previously been engaged
in the general merchandise business at
this place, but has gradually closed out
that stock until now their store is ex-
clusively hardware, excepting a few
groceries. They carry a full line of
shelf and heavy hardware, such as
stoves, tinware. fence wire, washing
machines, shelters, &c, &c. Their
! place of business is in Bissell's Block,
on the southwest corner of the square.
Mr.. Huling came here in 1873, and was
formely from Ohio; he has been in
Kansas about Il years. Mr.. Anderson
came to this county six years ago from
Neb. Both gentlemen were soldiers in
the late war, and they are live energet-
ic business men. Should you wish any
thing in the hardware line they win
give you honest goods and a square
deal every time.
There is one store in town which de-
serves special mention, and that is the
fancy variety store known as
SPAULDING'S BAZAAR.
In this elegant establishment is kept an
extra assortment of dry goods, notions,
/ jeweIry, books, stationary, albums and
fancy goods of all kinds. This store is
one of the neatest in town and is a
credit to
81. @. SPAULDING,
its proprietor, as well as the city. Mr..
! Spaulding came from Wisconsin to this
county. He was elected as Probate
Judge of this county nine years ago, has
held the position ever since and is still
the present incumbent. IL February,
1879, he was appointed postmaster Of
this city, and held the position for six
znd a half years, giving complete salts
( faction and was removed only on ac-
count of an adverse administration.
Should you need anything in his line,
Judge Spaulding viii treat you white.
! Give him a call.
