which ranks as tho nome behind the
throne" the coal traoS, and Its natural
ally, the wood business. Among those
engaged in this business whOB1 transac-
tions have assumed large proportions,
must be classed that of William Sanlse,
VINO established the wood and coal bu-
slness some two years ago. Since that
time his trade has had a rapid increase
until now he carries a very large stock
and gives employment to quite num-
ber of men.
The location of Mr.. Samse's yards are
on Front street, near the business CEN
ter of the town, and are easy of access.
The arrangement of the premises is
very handy, and reflects great credit up
on the ability that planned them. The
premises occupied consists of about a
half of block of ground, and presents
much better appearance than is ordi-
narily seen in such concerns. The sheds
for storing coal are so arranged as to ia
cilitate the filling of orders, and every
thing is conducted upon metropolitan
basis. All kinds of hard and soft coal
is handled, and all orders. are promptly
attended to. In wood will be found a
large stock of the most desirable native
woods for heating and cooking purpos-
es. Wood is sold in any quantity to
SUIT The purchaser, and the lowest posi-
Die prices are always charged.
Ihere are very few of our readers
VINO nave any idea of the magnitude of
the business transacted or the extent of
the operations of this establishment. or
the advantages its existence give to our
people. Mr.. Samse buys most of his
wood right in the stump. He has it
cut and worked up to the desired
lengths, thereby giving employment to
q number of men. By operating this
yard good market is afforded our far
mers for timber which otherwise would
bring them no immediate revenue,
Another advantage to the farmers is
that when they bring wood to Napoleon
and fail to find customer, they can
dispose oft to Mr. Samse, who is ready
at all times to pay good price for the
same. The great advantage of this
yard to the residents of our place is that
they can always rely upon getting good
wood, and just as much as they want,
no matter what the season of the wear.
1t frequently happens that during the
time we have bad roads the farmers are.
unable to bring wood to town. Mr..
Samse always keeps a good stock of
wood on hand, and at such times can
supply our people with what they want.
This is an advantage which our citi-
zens have not been slow to avail them
selves of, and we are glad to know that
Mr.. Samse has been successful in estab-
fishing a good and substantial business
in this line. His success in this regard
has been we'll earned, as he has had
many obstacles to overcome.

just built, and the "Doretta," which d.
has been his property since 1851. These
boats ply between Napoleon and To-
ledo, and do great deal of carrying
during the season. They each have a
capacity of $500 bushels of wheat, and
are among the best boats on the canal.
| The enterprise of Mr.. Samse is cer-
employment to fifteen men during the
business. He is of progressive spirit,
and is always ready to assist in any
project which has for object the ad-
vancement of the interests of our town.
He is honest in all his dealings, and
we hope he will continue to prosper.
