Z. e. N. l. AT EAGLE ROCK.
A FlOurishing Branch Of the Mammoth Insti-
tuition,

The most extensive establishment we
have had an opportunity to visit for some
time, is tbs Eagle Rock branch of Z. C. Nj.
!. Last Thursday, in company with Man
ager Joseph A. Smith, we took look
through the entire building. Owing to
large consignments received lately they are
somewhat Uttered up at present, but are
finding places for things as fast as pos
sible.
They have been constantly increasing
their stock since locating in Eagle Rock,
in order to meet the great demand which
they are now supplying. This demand
calls for everything in the line of mer-
chandise, from a clothes pin to a complete
bed room set. A $1,000 bill of hardware
has lately been received, which increases
the stock in that line to 5000, which
amount they intend to carry. IN the base
ment of the main building we found seven
or eight car loads of merchandise, CON
s!sting OF soaps, meats, sugar and such
merchandise as they receive in immense
quantities.
In buildings joining the main one are kept
their different kinds Of oils, which also
they buy in immense quantities.
DThey buy everything in carload lots,
which gives them all the advantages to be
had in cheap freight rates, while it also en-
ables them to buy at bed rock prices. Be
sides this, buying in such large quantities
they pay for no unpacking and packing by
the manufacturer, but receive their goods
direct as they are put up, in original guam
titles. 1t Is their aim to keep d stock such
that when a rancher comes from the coun-
try twenty or thirty miles he can buy any
thing he needs at their house, saving him
the trouble and annoyance of going from
one store to another to find what he wants

every particular, as is also their stock of
dry goods and clothing, bill of s., 600 of
the last named being received lately.
The amount Of business done by this
housesis really surprising. A car load of
Hour lasts one week. a car of sugar two
weeks, and a car of meats three weeks, |
while the demand for other articles is in
like proportion.
They are doing genuine wholesale bust !
ness, and are gratiied to find their trade
territory constantly extending in all direc-
tions. They now ill orders for Blackfoot !
Camas, Beaver Canon and other points as
far up as points in Montana. Their princi- |
pal territory, however, is supplied by
freight teams to Louisville, Menan, Rex
berg and the Teton basin.
Since locating in Eagle Book, they have
increased their stock from $50 600 to
100000, the amount they now have on
hand. 1t has been evident for some time
that more room would be necessary to carry
this amount Of goods, and additional build |
ings and storeroOms will be added to this |
branch in the near future
Ten hands are regularly employed in the |
various departments of this institution, |
making pay roll of $500 per month. This |
is by far the largest business establishment |
ever in Eagle Rock, if not in Idaho Terri |
tory, and tells of the permanent advance |
this section of the territory has made, in |
orde to demand such an extensive mer |
