Smyrna times., 1888-08-15

ing now, AN. the merchants of Smyrna
vie with each other in elaborate dis
play.
We have already passed the Fruit
! Growers National Bank and we pass
the Smyrna National on our way to
the extensive Agricultural Implement
Works Of G. w. & S. Taylor. Before
we forget the banks, it will be proper
l to say, that their encouraging monthly |
/ statement is the surest evidence of the |
prosperous condition of Smyrna and |
its immediate vicinity. The "TaylOr |
Bros" business is so closely identified |
with the towns progress during the |
last thirty years, as to some extent be !
identical with it, and showing in their |
specialties marked advancement. |
Their works on South Main street, |
cover considerable space and are filled |
with costly machinery such as is need |
ed to manufacture from the raw mate |
rial their two improved farming tools,
the New Departure CultivatOr and
Sulky CultivatOr, although corn she'll
ers, plows, harrows, rakes and wagons
of all kinds are made. Then the re-
pairs, everything that breaks for miles
around finds its way to these truly use
full works to be hauled out on the rail-
way for repairs. We were shown one
little machine here called a "Buzz-saw"
that had bitten off a finger from nearly
every emplOye in the works, it was
running when we saw it, and it looked
as if it could attend to its own buzz
! ness. The Taylor Bros. have back of
: their shops a foundry capable of turn
} ing out no mean sized casting, and tax
g ing in the whole with its lathes, drills,
t planers, trip-hammers, power punches,
3 and not forgetting our little buZZ-saw
8 friend, it is now one of the most COM
n plete establishments of the kind on the
J. Peninsula, and the people of Smyrna
IL are proud of it, right as it is in their
i midst with the CHEEKY hum of its in
IS dustrious machinery buster than the
l. bees. No one in visiting Smyrna
e should retrace their steps until they
s. see pretty Belmont, the fairest flower,
Vt that could entwine in a wreath, and
q. with rare taste giving without cost to
st adorn and beautify. AS you approach
to "The Old Mill" by the pond comes in
u view, beyond this the new Odd Eel
as lows Cemetery with its Golden Gate"
10 marking the entrance where Aliens
ly rest in Peace" A turn to the left and
the rose hedges of Belmont are before
- yOu. But time and trains wait not for
laggards we hurry towards the depO
and in turning west on South street
of saw the new public school building il
nv all of its imposing stateliness. Gu
mn first impression was, Well don

no cation ? AS we stood awhile to take i
'"' all the points of this handsome struC
