Jones conducts his business on q sound
basis and has reputation, that in itself
is capital, for low prices and honest deal
ings. A visit to his new store will repay
the prospective purchaser Of horse fur
nishiRgs.
JOHN REED.
One Of the most popular young men in
the city is John Reed, who has almost ex-
elusive control Of the wood, coal and ice
business Of Yakima. Mr.. Reed was re-
Gently elected q member Of the city coun-
Gil by the highest vote cast and his
friends assert that he Is already taking
on aldeTmanic proportions. Be that as 1t
may, Mr.. Reed is q good business man
and, unlike the general run Of men In his
line, he has an honorable record, and,
surprising as 1t may seem, is accredited
with delivering q full cord Of wood and
honest weight in coal and Ice.
RoBEKT BENNETT.
Barbering Is essentially an art and in
no place is this art found In greater per-
fection than in the tonsoriAl rooms Of the
Hotel Yakima, where Robert Bennett
and his assistant hold forth, and are
boon and comfort not only toour citizens,
but to the travelling public who stop at
the Hotel Yakima. The chairs are Of
the latest pattern and in fact the furnish
ings throughout are Of the best. The
bath rooms are well appointed and neatly
kept and everything about the place
shows the good taste Of Mr.. Bennett,
whose skill with shears and razor Is Of
more than local repute.
GEORGE W. CARY.
OF the varied houses engaged in the
general merchandise business in Yakima,
tits to none that The HERALD calls atten-
ton to with more pleasure than that Of
George W. Cary. Mr.. Cary, although
still young man, is one Of the pioneers
Of central Washington, and besides being
in the mercantile business, occupies the
responsible position Of treasurer Of the
county. His store is popular resort for
ladies, as, in addition to the other lines of
goods. Mrs. Cary personally attends to q
department devoted to millinery, and her
excellent taste is generally recognized by
those who find pleasure in the latest styles.
The newest things in laces, ribbons, silks
and satins are always to be found there,
and with the changing seasons come the
new shapes in hats and bonnets from the
recognized head centers Of fashion.
THOMAS O. REDFIKLD.
Almost every line Of mercantile bust
ness is represented in North Yakima, and
many Of the stocks would attract atten-
ton In much larger cities on account Of
their excellence. This Is true of the stock
Of jewelry, silverware, clocks and optical
goods to be found ct Redfeld's. Mr..
Redfeld employs practical and compe-
tent jeweler, who is thoroughly qualified
to do repairing and fine watch work in
its various branches. As to optical goods
no more complete stock can be found in
the northwest, and he has all Of the mod
ern appliances for testing the eyes and
selecting glasses fitted therefor.
So. LOWE.
Among the business men who have
been largely identified with the building
up Of Yakima none are deserving Of more
favorable notice than s. ]. Lowe, whose
big three-stery brick block IL pictured ON
THE HERALD supplement. Mr.. Lowe ia
the pioneer in this section In the hard
ware and implement business, and bv
industry and careful attention to the de
tails Of business and the wants of custom.
ers he has not only built.up a big trade
but laid by a generous supply Of worldly
wealth as well. His faith in Yakima has
never Vayered. but strenRtbened with the
passing Of time. as he has seen North
Yakima Qrow from a hamlet to an inn
posing town and then take upon itself
citv aira.
II. HARRIS.
Probably the largest general merchan-
disc business transacted in central WASH
inGton Is that c0rried on by H. Harris, Of
the X L store. Mr.. Harris success has
been phenomenal. When he came to
North Yakima Ave years ago his stock
but meagrely iilled q small store on First
street. but IL was only short time before
his constantly growing trade required
more commodious quarters, and he first
rented and then bought the fifty foot
