Rohrs & suhr.
Probably in the history of the repre-.
sentative merchants and selfmade men
of Napoleon, no more worthy exam
pie can be found of what may be ac-
complished by energy, integrity and
well directed effort than is so strikingly
exemplified in the successful career of
Rohrs & Suhr, leading dry goods mer-
chants. This is one of the foremost
houses in the merchandising line in
this place, and as such is entitled to a
favorable and more than ordinary
notice in comprehensive work of this
description. Its business is one of the
most Important branches of our mer-
camille trade, and one that has loomed
up considerably of late years. Among
the firms engaged in the general dry
goods trade none stand higher than
that of Rohrs & Suhr, the individual
members of which are Geo. III. Rohrs
and Theodore Suhr. This house was
established in 1879 by Rohrs & Woke,
the present firm succeeding in 1884.
The store is located on the corner
opposite the court houss, in which is
kept an immense line of dry goods,
cloaks, carpets, boots and shoes, and in
short, everything usually found in a
firstclass dry goods store, and their
sales rooms are always replete with the
latest styles and designs of everything
in which they deal. The carpet and
cleak room Is in the basement of the
building, and the stock is very heavy
and kept full all the time. One has
but TO visit the fine store of Rohrs d
Subj to be convinced that the manage
ment of the same has been exception
ally praise worthy, and of such a
character as to command the confidence
of the people who make Napoleon q
trading point. 1t will also be seen
that their goods are just such as the
people here require. A fine showing is
made in dress goods, silks, satins vel
vets, plushes, dress trimmings, hosiery,
underware, gloves, corsets and fancy
neckware. There is large line of house
furnishing dry goods, such as table
. linens, towels, napkins, quilts, blankets,
flannels, yarns, and a full line Of
domestics-indeed thousand and one
articles pertaining to the dry goods
business, impossible to remember let
alone mention. In every branch there
will be found large assortment, a
completeness in each department being
the rule with this house.
The patronage of this firm has grown
very rapidly, while at the same time
they are selling finer class of goods
thaif'ever before. The marked success
of this firm is to a great extent due to
their push, enterprise and ability. This
is known as the cash dry goods house,
and their standard price system, by
which a child can buy as cheap as a
grown person, their system and man.
ner of doing business, their fair aud
favorable dealings and courteous treat
ment of patrons have also much to dc
with their success.
Saur & Balsley.
In many cities in the United Sta tes
there are apothecaries who, judged by
their success, are not excelled by those
of any other country. In confirmation
of this statement, we would refer t
Messrs. Saur & Balsley, whose estab
lishment is as remarkable for the order
exhibited in its interior arrangement
as they are weh known and appreciated
as practical pharmacists of superior
ability, correctness and scholarly at
tainments. And of the several houses
in Napoleon engaged in the drug bust
ness, 1t may safely be asserted that none
are better stocked or conducted with 9
more thorough knowledge of the re-
Ckurements of the trade than the estab
lishment under consideration.
The proprietors of the house are
among the best known and deservedly
popular of Napoleon's business men
, The business was established April
1865 The premises occupied consist O
a room 100X25 feet, and an upstairs
room. The store is large, pleasant
finely appointed and well stocked
They show large and especially fine
assortment of drugs and chemicals, and
a large variety of patent medicines. In
the way of druggists sundries and no
tions the assortment is very large. They
carry q large stock of paints, oils
stationery, books, wall paper, etc
There are great many department.
throughout this establishment, anC
each and every one of them are KEEP
full at all times. There is scarcely al
article in the drug line that they dC
not keep, and the remark is frequently
made that "if you can't find what yol
want at Saur & Balsley's, you need no
look any further, for you wont find i
in Napoleon"
This house enjoys large patronage
in the prescription business. The pro
prietors have made close study of thi
branch and have been very successful
They are careful and acurate in the
handling of drugs, and are thoroughly
conversant with the use of all medi
cines. They never make mistakes o.
blunders, and it is but a merited com
pliment to say that they enjoy the en-
tire confidence of the physicians ant
public generally.
This is one of the most complete
drug. houses in this part of the State
and the proprietors possess thorough
knowledge of the wants and demands
of the trade, and this coupled with thei
intimate knowledge of the busines
enables them to conduct the same in
manner that is highly commended BY
the residents of this section of thu
country. These gentlemen have wol
