A BOSS CARRIAGE MAKER.
Phil. Klipple's Beginning and
Marked Growth.

Mr.. Phil. Ripple, the carriage
maker, has grown rapidly in his bust.
ness. Six years ago he branched out
for himself in the building now occu-
pied by Grant Bros. Co. g livery business
with single forge and wood worker,
and one painter; and he found it diff
cult, indeed, to get work for this small
force; tut be kL ew ne was in The right,

the office being in the southwest cor
ner. The building has a capacity of
four. FORCES, two wood workers
benches on the first floor, and the
painting, trimming and vanishing de-
partments are on the second floor. The
building is BRICK and fire proof, and
contains an elevator, by means of which
vehicles are taken from one depart
ment to another, and fitted once more
to be put upon the street. Of @ .ufse,
Mr.. Klippls has his busy seasons, and
during those times he employs as high
as fourteen to sixteen men. Mt
turally the repair work is slack
during the winter season, so this season
of the year Mr.. Ripple devotes to the
building of fine buggies and carriages
to order and to new work of all kinds
in his line. There are on the streets

make and they are noted for their
general usefulness and unquestioned
durability; and he is prepared to turn
out fine work guaranteed in every par
ticular.
Perhaps the best evidence of Mr.
klipple's skill as wagon builder is seen
frequently on the streets in the huge
passenger wagonette of Grant Bros.
Utah." which takes four horses to
draw it and which has capacity of
thirty-siX passengers and which
astonishes the Natives and foreigners
alike.
Mr.. Klipple's shops are designed and
arranged for the especial purpose of
repairing, trimming and painting
carriages and buggies, the manufacture
OF wagons and carriages being a
secondary consideration though the
workmanship is by no means secondary.
To the great care Mr.. Ripple has dis
played and the thoroughly reliable
and conscientious work done, is
due the success with which he has
met and which he has certainly merited.
The shops are now located near the
centre of the block Immediately south
Of The HERALD building. where bis old
frieEcS ana taose who have work to do
in his line will find him. We can COLI
scientiously recommend Mr.. Ripple.
and will back the endorsement.
He was one of the judges at the
present Fair, in Class j, regarding
wagons, carriages and farm vehicles.
1t would be well to add that one
thing which has contributed so much to
Mr.. Khpple's popularity is the fact that
his charges are as conscientious as his
work. If you want q carriage, wagon,
or buggy repaired, trimmed, or painted,
or if you want buggy made, or a
wagonette, or any vehicle that IS
especially adapted to this ,untry, you
viii find Mr. Ripple on hand ready to
give fair figure, and guarantee his
work.
His telephone is No. 237, and the
numbers of his mandatory are IA to
148 West Second South Street. Re-
member Mr.. Ripple will call for all Jobs
and return them to the owners any
where in the city free of charge.
