The Atlas Engine Works.

In the Atlas Engine Works indianapolis has
an establishment that has carried her name
further. perhaps. than that of any other, its
manufactures being known not merely to every
State and Territory in the West and South, but
to Mexico and South America
During the year just closed the Atlas Engine
Works have steadily employed over three hun
dred men, to whom they have paid the same
wages as in previous years. The manufactures
of the works have been sold on close margins,
but while this has been the case there has been
an increase of nearly 80 per cent. in the vol
ume of trade.
For the coming year no great boom is ex-
pected, but the outlook is regarded as favorable
for good, steady business. No great advance
in prices is expected, though there may be some
improvement in that respect

Lewis Dessar the we'll known clothler at Nos
100 and 122 South Meridian street. "and am
now making arrangements to meet it. In few
days will go East to lay in my spring stock,
and in the meantime have given orders to my
force to push off the winter stock as rapidly as
possible
To do this, Mr.. Dessar has greatly reduced
prices on heavy clothing. including the finest and
best line of overcoats ever seen in Indiana, and
his efforts appear to be appreciated
1t is gratifying to know that the year 1885 has
brought satisfactory business to this house,
state of affairs that has certainly been merited
by reason of the extent and character of the
stock carried by its enterprisng proprietor. This
house is not only we'll but favorably known,
standing in the front rank as to business thrift,
integrity and enerpy

Probably since the creation Of the

free from croakers. "Hard times"
Is the constant drcary song that is
heard in every cline, and has come
to be commonplace and stcrco-

Ing. have seen greater depression
and scarcity of money than exists
at this time. "The hard times" of
the fall of sc is unfortunately more
that the croakers song, it is real
and is felt in every avocation.

farmers, is that they cannot pay
cash for supplies. In these days
