In calculating the general aggregate of
the commercial and manufacturing I'M
portance and progress of Manitowoc the
trade represented by the above named
house is factor of very significant 'di-
mansions in the many and varied enter
prises which influence the prosperity and
material Announcements of the city. This
particular branch of business in Manito-
voc represents combination of large
capital, trained talent, and facilities that
cannot be found elsewhere in the state
in any city of its size. This business was
originated in 1866 by Hon. Jos.Vilas (who
was largely instrumental in building the
NJ. l.. S. & w. II. r. and was the first
President OF the same.) who sold out
to the present firm in 1881 who organ
lied under the present name having as
senior copartner Mr.. J. W. Barnes who
had been identified with the business
since 1872. The premises occupied CON-
prise very spacious double store having
a frontage of 80 feet and depth OF 90 feet
and two stories high. Both stores are
connected by large arch ways and are
supplied with many conveniences to facil
itate the business. The building all IN
all contains n large area OF floor space,
which is essentially necessary for the adj
equate display OF the large stock. The
house possesses every possible facility for
keeping themselves in communication
with the largest jobing and manufacture
ing houses and are thus enabled to
secure the choicest novelties and finest
fabrics which are offered to patrons here
almost simultaneously with their appear
ance in the larger cities. So far as the
character of the stock and its extent Is
concerned, 1t embraces every diversity IN
dress material, from the cheapest dress
goods to the most expensive and superb
silk, satins and velvet fabrics, hosiery,
linens, gentlemen and ladies furnishing
goops, woolens, cottons and mixed ar
| ticles of every texture and quality, fancy
| notions as we'll as clothing, boots, shoes,
| IN short almost every thing con-
| ceivable that could be properly classed
under the head of general merchandise
| A feature of the business is the prompt
and satisfactory services by the employ
| ees, each one of whom know his and her
| duty while by the wise rules enforced
| there is no confusion incidental to carry
this firm Messrs. J. W. Barnes, Henry
Mendlik and II. Mullolland Jr. during
their active career have won measure o.
popularity, confidence and respect il
Manitowoc second to no other members o.
her commercial circles. They all give
close personal supervision to the work
ings of the establishments and the trans
actions of the firm bear the impress o.
correct and reliable business methods

SEEGER BROS. Dentists. The den
tai art of today is vastly different from
that practiccd by our forefathcrs and il
| is in every sense OF the word an art as il
is easily demonstrated by the practicion
ers of the present day. It was formerly
purely mechanical and is now thoroughly
scientific. No college is now complete IL
all its branches unless it has depart
ment devoted to dental surgery. The
succ essful practictioner now has to
make his calling a study and thoroughly
educate himself in the surgical and an.
atomical part Of bis profession. The
| members of this firm, both OF whom are
natives of this city have been engaged il
the work the major part o. Their. lives anC
are recognized as very skiliful surgeon
dentists. The pariors and operating
rooms as well as laboratory for mechan
ical work, are Will appointed and com
modlous and are fully provided with the
best appliances known in the profession
and all the manifold operations of denta
surgery are performed by them in a
thoroughly scientific manner. They oc-
cupy at the present time a suit of rooms
which are richly furnished and are
erecting building which will soon
be finished, that is going to be fitted up
especially for the busieess. Messrs. c.
H. & E. t. Seeger who form the firm are
among the most polished and pleasant
gentlemen in the city. Mr.. G. Fl. Seeger is
a graduate OF the Cincinnati College OF
Dentistry.
