CARRIAGE MANUFACTURERS AND
DEALERS.
No line Of Manufacture shows more
marked advancement in the last twen-
ty-five years than carriage building.
The cumbersome vehicles, which
were the pride of our ancestors would
be now regarded as monstrosities.
Among manufacturers of carriages and
dealers III carriages, wagons, etc., in
Stanton, none stand higher than
Messrs. John NJ, Hardy and Son, cor
ner Main and Market Streets. The
business was first established in 1913.
During the war Mr. Hardy was engage
ed in the manufacture of artillery
harness, etc.. for the Confederate6
army; after the war he resumed the
carriage business and conducted it
alone until 1888, when his son E. c.
Hardy was admitted to partnership;
since that time the business has been
conducted under the firm name of
ohm M. Hardy and Son.
The premises occupied comprise
three-story building with annexed
blacksmith shops and lumber sheds.
The stock made and carried includes
carriages and vehicles ofevery variety
from the light sulky to a fine coache;
also, a line of harness
The trade is large and permanent
one, including many of our leading
citizens and business men, and APP
prec1ative patrons all over this section
of the country and adjoining counties.
In addition to manufacturing, &C.,
Messrs. Hardy execute all kinds of
repairing and painting with neatness

NATIONAL VALLEY BANK.

The National Valley Bank was first
established in November, 1865; it was
successfully conducted, and in January
1875, the First National Bank was
merged into it, the National Valley
Bank still retaining its old name. The
rapid and successful growth of this
bank is fair index of the standing
of Staunton in financial circles.
Only one other bank in the
State of Virginia can show the COM
parative amount of surplus. In the
twenty-five years of its existence it
has acquired high standing in fnan-
cial circles. Its leading position gives
it facilities for collection and cores
pondence which are excelled by no
other banking institution i'll the State.
This bank is designated depository
of the United States. The total re-
sources of the bank according to the
last statement on July 18th, 1890, are
$I,359,293.95. The capital stock is
$500, 900, and the surplus 5000, 900.
The phenomenal prosperity of this in
stitution can be accounted for by the
way it is differed. Gen. John Echols,
the President, is a gentleman univer-
sally admired and respected through
out the State. The President, Mr..
R. w. Burke, is large capitalist and
gentleman of high standing in bust
ness and financial circles. The Cash
Ter, Mr.. H. A. Walker, is sound bus
mess man. To him is i'll large meas
ure due the prosperity of the bank.
His sound judgment and excellent
business habits have gained for him
the respect and confidence Of the pub
lie. He is local representative
of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York, one of the
strongest life insurance companies in
the world. The second Vice-Presi-
dent is Edward Echols, Esq, a prom
inent attorney of the Augusta county
bar, and a member of the State
Senate from this district. The
Board of Directors are Gen.
John Echols, Robert w. Burke, H. L.
Lushbaugh, Edward Echols, M. Frs
kline Miller, Henry Hutchinson, P. H.
Trout, Isaac Witt, M. N. Bradley, A.

The Grand Army committee ap-
pointed to secure the national en-
campment in Kansas in 1892 is max
ing every effort to place Kansas at
the front at Boston. Their latest
move is to secure photographs from
all parts of the state. The following
is a copy of a letter that has just been
forwarded by the secretary to about
five hundred correspondents:
SR:-The committee of fifteen an
pointed to secure the location Of the
National encampment O.. A. R.. for
Kansas in 1892, desires to make a
collection Of Photographic views, of
street scenes, fine public schools, col
Ieges, churches, business blocks, no
tets, mills, factories, elevators, bridges
mIll-dams, packing houses, county
buildings. picturesque scenery, etc,
and desires to have you inter est your
self in the matter at once IN order
that we may secure from your local
/ Ity such as you may procure. These
should be 7X9 inches in size, and
mounted on heavy cardboard, and
| forwarded to the secretary not later
than July 18th next. Every photo
graph should be carefully labeled by
giving the name Of the building,
street or place on the lower margin

1t is hoped that the public spirited
citizens of your place will take IN

that of some of the eastern gentle

he can double discount them.
