Haraavaye Firm Of Jones 6 Nash,
Cenhulla.
Lmgest Delivery Of Farm MacAin-
cry IN tie History Of Wood ca.

Inc SlOIG VI JO1IGS tS NASH,
Centralia, has always been a popular
resort for trade, and is becoming more
so as time passes. The firm consisting
of Messrs. L. NJ. Nash and w. T. Jones,
two excellent broad guaged business
men, are never found wanting in any
enterprise that will improve their
business or the prospects of the city
and county in which they live. They
are alive to every interest they have in
unison with the city or county. They
treat their customers literally and fairly
and make large sales and small profits.
They are obliging and accommodating
with everybody and are gradually in
creasing their trade into immense pro-
portions.
Last Saturday was their delivery day
of Farm Machinery and implements.
Their store on that day can only be
compared with a bee hive, for it was
alive with activity. 1t required several
extra men to assist in loading machinery.
While they sold some sixty machines
this spring only fifty two of them were
delivered on this day. Their trade is
not confined to farm machinery, for
they sell car loads of light and heavy
work only, they sold hundreds of axes,
helves, picks, brush hooks, &c during
the past week. They are jobbers on a
large scale and sell more hardware than
any other firm in Wood county. Their
sales are not limited to this county but
extend into Portage, Adams and
Juneau. q
On Saturday last they delivered the
following list of machinery:

They entertained their customers on
that dav in fine style and gave them q
tirst-class dinner at the firms expense.
They assigned them to the Commercial
House, Lyon House and Dixon House,
Centraha, where they were treated
like kings.
The energy and push shown by this
firm is commendable. We need more
of just such broad gagged men who
count their business by the thousand
instead of dollars. Other men might
pattern after them to good advantage.
May their present trade increase is the
hearty wish of the Reporter.
