LIVE BUSINESS MEN.

In confirmation Of our notice OF tho
live business men Of Perrysburg we
must not forget to call attention to the
Wholesale cigar manufaotory OF Mr..
Nicholas Wodertz. Mr.. Wedertz came
to this place about sixteen years AGO,
and started in the business of wholesale
and retail dealer in tobaccos and cigars.
His business proved success from the
first, and his wholesale trade finally
grew to such magnitude that II became
necessary to abandon the retail and at
tend strictly to the manufacture OF his
various brands Of cigars. His trade is
not confined alone to Wood county, but
extends to all parts of Northwestern
Ohio. A few of his various brands may
be mentioned-Yacht Club, Snap, I. c..
"Ickl" Bouncer, and the old standby,
Havana Cheroot, and many others
all of which are first-cass in every re-
spect, and the name of N. Wedertz on
the box is sufficient guarantee of the
superior quality of the goods. He pro-
poses to bring out new brand soon,
which will be dandy. The JOURNAL
was shown some excellent tobacco used,
for the manufacture of his cigars which
shows that nothing but the best class OF
goods is used by this factory. 1t is al
ways better to use cigars manufactured
in o first.class home factory than those
manufactured by Chinese and tenement
house makers. Mr.. Henry Uthoff is the
efficient foreman.
Mr.. George Boetsch, Jr., who recently
opened up o grocery and provision store
in the Cook Block on the corner Of
Louisiana avenue and Front st. is a
young man for whom. we predict, sue
cess is awaiting. He keeps good,
carefully selected stock of gro
ceries and is ever ready TO wait upon
his customers. Give him call and
cinvlnce yourself that he is doing a
good business.
Our esteemed friend, Mr.. John c..
HiMmelmann, who for thirty years has
been engaged in the barber business
in this place. is probably the pioneer
barber Of Wood county, and needs no
introduction from US. Mr.. H., during
the war, when Morgan was about to
take drop on Cincinnati, pocketed a
few razers, shouldered his musket, and
with the balance of the squirrel hunters,
started for the scene OF action. When
off duty as soldier, he went on duty
as barber. and thus did double duty.
A more honest gentleman or more
thorough Democrat than he cannot be
found.
Mr.. John G. Hoffman,, an old citizen
of Perrysburg, we wish to announce, is
doing a splendid business in groceries
and provisions, at his grocery store cor
ner of Elm street and Indiana avenue.
Mr.. Hoffman, for many years con-
Quoted the Hoffman, meat market, but
after selling that business to his nephew,
entered the grocery trade and has
worked up splendid business by his
careful and courteous attention to the
wants of his customers.
The cigar trade is also represented by
the firm Of j. Wetzel d Son, MIR. Phllip
Wetzel is practical cigar maker, aud
the business of manufacturing is under
his personal supervision, and with his
efficient workmen, produces many
brands of very fine cigars. MIR. ]
Wetzel, the elder member of the firm
attends 10 the sale of the products o
the factory and has succeeded in estab-
fishing for the firm very fine trade
1t is not necessary to purchase Eastern
made cigars when onr town can pro
duce better goods. Their leading brand
are Cutter and Gusto. Try them.
Mr. John DuFord has conducted {
first-class barber shop in our town fol
a number of years. and his reputation
for good work is second to none. John
is a genital gentleman, who is always
courteous TO his customers, who are
many, and the JOURNAL can guarantee
good work to all who favor him witt
their patronage.
