and many other departments the list Of
goods is exceptionally large and rated as
the heaviest not only in this county but
in this section. This store would be
creditable acquisition to a place five
times the size Of Hillsboro. The store
room is large and is completely filled
with goods. Every inch of space is used,
the stock being piled from floor to cell.
ing. There is scarcely an article in the
dry goods line which Mr.. Hibben can.
not furnish, and that too Of the best
quality. All departments are kept full
to overfowing, special feature being
made of the finest Of goods, and those
particularly adapted to the country
trade.
1t will amply repay anyone 10 take a
look through this elegant stock of goods,
made up of every style and variety Of
articles that naturally come under the
head of dry goods, and many articles are
seen that one might expect to find
nowhere outside of metropolitan cities.
Mr.. Hibben carries class of goods that
recommend themselves and sell on their
merits. He advertises over the counters,
and sells goods 80 low that no house can
sell any lower. A low grade of goods can
be sold low by any dealer. But Mr.. Hib.
ben by buying his goodsin a proper man
ner is enabled to sell good goods cheap.
He does not make big blow, does not
try to make the people believe they can
get dollars worth of goods for fifty
cents. His manner of doing business is
we'll known to the people and is highly
appreciated by all patrons. And the
fact Of this house maintaining its promi.
nent position in the estimation of the
people after such long, prosperous and
honorable career is the best evidence it's
proprietor could give as to the satisfac-
tory manner in which the business has
been conducted.
This gentleman has been in our midst
for number OF years, and we are free
to say, that as business man of integ-
rity and merited reputation, he stands
on an equal footing with the foremost.
He has ever shown laudable desire to
transact large business, but is of too
high principle to st6op to mean actions
to accomplish this, being satisfied to
earn his trade by industry and a thorough
devotion to business, by which he has
built up trade SECOND to none in this
part of Ohio. He has much reason to
be thankful to the people of Hillsboro
and Highland county for patronizing
him so liberally, and he has the proud
satisfaction OF knowing that his house
stands among the most extensive of our
mercantile institutions, and with future
prospects very fattering. This is a
house to which we would diaw special
attention. both for the facilities it offers
and the honorable manner in which it
is conducted.
Hallowell & Clark.
In reviewing even in passably cur
sorry manner some of the most important
OF our city's interests, we can not but
feel impressed that the lumber interests
of Hillsboro, founded as they are with
advantage Of flocation, both as to resourc-
es and supply, must assume at near
day an Importance at present but little
understood by our citizens. There is no
place in this part of the State presenting
greater advantages to the dealer in lum-
ber than does Hillsboro. Our be-
ing situated midway between the pine
forests OF the north and south, and hav-
ing direct connection with the same
gives us great advantages over many
places.
For a number OF years we have been
blessed with good facilities for obtaining
lumber, but the acme of perfection in
this business was not reached until
about two years ago, when the firm of
Hallowell & Clark was established and
began business in our place. This is one
of the largest and most important lum.
ber firms in this section of the country,
and it it is an establishment that reflects
great credit upon the place, one of
which our people are Justly proud, and
we take great pleasure in presenting to
our readers few facts regarding the
same.
This firm is composed OF J. g. Halo.
we'll and J. NJ. Clark. Previous to COM
ing to Hillsboro, Mr.. Hallowell was
engaged in business at Leesburg
for ten years. The knowledge OF
the lumber trade gained by this gentle
man during that time has eminently
qualified him for the position he holds,
and has been of great benefit to the firm
since its establishment in Hillsboro.
Mr.. Clark was formerly a resident of
Cincinnati, where for some years he was
engaged in mercantile pursuits. He is a
good business man, and the union. of
these two gentlemen in the lumber trade
make very strong firm in every re-
spect. - =. - ,o-s s,@isy 9

& Clark are located next to the Court
House yard. They have, all told, about
a half block OF yard room, which il
covered by ware house, sheds aud lum-
Der, all Of the space being fully utilized
in the prosecution OF large and grow.
