The Opera House-General
Notes.

The push and enterprise of her business
has done much to make the city what she
is to-day-one of the liveliest places south
of Provo. In 1860 the firm of w. II. Hinsh
& Sons started furniture factory and to-
day these gentlemen do very large bust
ness. They manufacture furniture, doors.
windows, ETC., and supply both the local
and outside demand for these articles.
Their factory is large three story build
ing and they have, and use for power, both
steam and water. Over twenty five years
aGo they manufactured and sold chairs and
so well have they worn that some of them
are in use to day. The members of this
firm ere very active, energetic men and
are rapidly increasing their facilities so as
to meet and supply the demand. Besides
tie furniture, ETC., they carry large
stock OF lumber, lathes, ETC., and do con-
siderable business in this line.
Payson can boast of having the brightest
paper of its size published In Titan. The
Enterprise is today an independent newsy
paper, such as one seldom meets in city
OF !, 600 people. Its owners and editor are
old residents of the town who understand
and know how to publish paper, and to
them alone can be attributed its remark
able success.
The amount of business done here is so
large that the need of bank was felt very
strongly by the people, and several months
ago some of the leading men of the town
got together and opened the Payson Elk
change Savings bank. The officers of this
institution are well-known men Of un-
doubted integrity and marked business
ability, and the bank, under the careful
supervision of Mr. Eli Good, the cashier,
has been success from the start. De-
posits in large or small amounts are re-
| ceived and drafts drawn on all points in
the world.
When travelling man strikes a hotel
with large rooms, modern furniture and a
| good table he appreciates it, and that is the
reason why the boys patronize Nightmare
| hotel at Payson. Everything is done to
make you feel at home, and the house is To-
| Gated right in the center of town.
Did you ever in your travels see small
nutshell of a store stocked full of all
kinds of goodss John D. Stark, in Payson,
has just such place. He carries in stock
everything from a soda cracker to a rubber
boot, and does very good business.
The Payson Cooperative Institution,
under the able management of J. S. Page,
one of the pushing men of the city, does d
very large business. They carry com
plete stock of all kinds of general mer.
chandise and always seem to have just
what customer wants.
| Experience teaches all things" and tc
this fact as well as to his push and enter
prise, j. L. Townshend, the druggist, owes
the success he has achieved. He under
stands his.business thoroughly, carries the
most complete stock of drugs to be found
in southern Utah, and always treats his
customers with courtesy.
A good opera house is credit to town
and no wonder Pays feels proud of hers
Mr.. j. E. Belts, the manager, has spared
neither pains nor expense to make his house
first-class in every way, and beyond {
question he has succeeded. The scenery i:
excellent, the latest style orchestra chair:
have been put in, and all in all his house i:
way ,yond nine tenths of those in the ter
ritory.
Payson will grow to be city of 10,0Ot
people in few years, and to such men a.
the above will be due much of the credit anl
wealth to be derived from this increase.
