Charles E. Haynes.

Among the many prosperous and
thriving business houses in Hillsboro
none are more worthy Of mention as
showing what may be accomplished by
a combination Of energy, enterprise aud
good business tact than the well.known
establishment Of Charles +. Haynes.
This gentleman is the successor to Asa
Haynes & Co. He has been connected
with the business for the past fifteen
years. Charles entered the store OF
his father, Asa Haynes, in the year 1873,
in the capacity of clerk. Two years
later the firm was changed to Asa Hay
mes 4 Co., the company being Charles
E. Haynes and Samuel T. Evans. The
business was conducted under that cap.
ton until 1883, when Asa Haynes, the
senior member of the firm, retired from
the business, Charles E. Haynes and
Samuel T. Evans purchasing his interest.
These gentlemen then started the only
strictly cash dry goods, notion, boot and
shoe store in Hillsboro. On account of
the old firm name, Asa Haynes & Co.,
being 80 we'll and favorably known to
the people, the business was continued
under that style, and 30 continued until
January of the present year. At that
time Mr.. Haynes purchased his part
ner's interest, and since then has con.
Quoted the affairs of the house under
his name.
This gentleman occupies two rooms.
The corner room is devoted to the sale
of dry goods, notions, dress goods and
thousand-and.one articles too tedious
to mention also to the display and sale
of carpets. The second room is used
for the stock of mems; women's and
children's boots and shoes, in which de-
partment full assortment is shown, of
all styles, grades and prices. This room
also contains nice selection OF gents
furnishing goods, embracing all the
novelties in this line. The stock
throughout this establishment is most
complete, is Of the best quality, and all
articles are sold at the lowest possible
prices, for cash, which means the best
goods for the least money.
A special feature of the stock of this
house is the display of carpets. Mr..
HAYNES has just added this line of goods
and shows an exceptionally large Sc
lection. He has q full line of samples
from the largest exclusive carpet house
in Cincinnati. These samples are shown
by Richardson's carpet exhibitor, which
shows exactly how a carpet will look
when placed upon the floor. By this
device you can get better idea as to
how the carpet will look, and be better
able to judge as to whether it will suit
or not. By handling carpets in this
manner Mr.. Haynes is enabled to sell
at lower figures than if he carried large
stock of carpets on hand. And decid
ed advantage to the purchaser is that all
carpets are cut and made just to the
size of the room, without any waste Of
loss to them. He handles all qualities
from the cheapest hemp to the finest
Wilton velvet carpets, and can and does
sell at lower prices than other houses
This mode of exhibiting carpets is quite
novelty, and it will we'll repay any one
for their time to call and see for them
J selves.
This house is so solidly established
and has been before the people for &c
long time that it would be hard to ga,
anything which would further its vel
deserved prosperity. Mr.. Haynes is I
young business man, is imbued with ,
spirit of push and activity which ha
brought him hosts of customers, and hi
is worthy of all the patronage which
may be bestowed upon him. He il
honest in his dealings with his fellow
man, and sells all goods on their merits
for the lowest possible cash price.
