LUCKEY,

The town OF Luckey, although not
placed on the map but few years ago
is one of the liveliest wide-awake, bust.
ness towns of its size in the State. The
factories here furnish employment for
large numbers of men, the farming
country round about furnishes good
trade for our merchants, no man need
be idle-there is work and good pay for
all, what more is needed?
Our business men are all frst-class
gentlemen, and few lines in their be-
half may not be out of place.
In July, 1872, before The railroad was
in operation, S. P. Hathaway started q
small general store, which continued
doing business until 1888, when he sold
out to Myers Bros. He renamed out
of the merchantile business until Sept
Is, 1886, when in partnership with s. N.
Fox he again opened up in business in
Luckey, and in March IS, 1886, he
bought the interest of his partner and
continued in his own name and bought
tho building in which his store is now
located. His stock is well selected and
consists of groceries, provisions, notions,
glassware, crockery, and hardware and
he is having good trade. He served
in the old 21st o. V. V. |. and is a mem.
ber of Benedict Post, No. 20, G. A. r. of
Pemberville. In June last he was ap-
pointed Postmaster, and is also Notary
Public. He is highly respected by all
and is courteous and polite to his Gus
toners.

Perrysburg boy, has been employed for
the past seven years by the Trowbridge
stave factory here. He is first.class
young man and has the respect of his
employers and the people OF Town.
S. N. Fox, formerly engaged in busi-
ness with S. p. Hathaway is at present
not engaged permanently in any
business. He recently laid the arch for
the new boiler of the Trowbridge fac
tory. He is an expert workman and is
never out of employment long.
The largest merchantile house in this
place is that of Myers Bros, who are
dealers in almost everything from
cambria needle to binder or windmill.
These gentlemen bought the store of
8. p. Hathaway, IN Nov. 1888, and in
the next Spring added to their business
by building another storeroom and
making their business house nearly
three times its original capacity. In
November, 1884, they took into the firm
another brother. F. w. Myers, and the
three brothers are doing an immense
business in dry goods. groceries. and
provisions, boots, shoes, notions, fancy
goods and clothing. They are also
dealers In agricultural implements, j.
]. Deals road carts and wagons, the

have put up thirty-fiv of the Myers

keep two men on the road selling i'm
plements. In 1888 these gentlemen
started in business on energy and
little money now they are doing busi-
ness on good supply Of both money
and energy, They are justly deserving
of their immense trade aud popularity.
