The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1891-11-26

Hearing that important changes were
being contemplated by Or. Schwarz, OF the
Union Clothing Co., a reporter called
there this morning, when the following
interview took place:
VI understand, doctor, that you contem-
plate leaving Canton. Is that true2"
"Yes, have with great reluctance made
up my mind to take that step.n
"Is this sudden step, or have you been
contemplating it for some timer"
ut has been agitating my mind for
number of months and especially formed
itself into q final resolution the latter part
of this summer, when had an attack of
rheumatism complicated with neuralgia"
"In one word your sole reason for re-
moving from Canton syour health?"
"Yes.n
"You then regard Canton as an un-
healthy locality?n
"No, would not be understood to say
that. A place may be healthy according
to statistics and yet disastrously unhealthy
to persons having tendency to particular
ailments. For example, the sea shore
is decidedly healthy locality
yet unfavorable for asthmatics. In my
own case have tendency to rheumat-
ic gout. Now the best medical attendants
lay down as proven fact that where
there Is "a rheumatism diathesis all local
tiles having a clay soil IL sure to bring out
any latent rheumatism and establish il in
permanent and aggravated form, and
you know this whole region here is largely
underlaid with clay which is witnessed by
the fact that we have in this immediate
vicinity the finest clay beds for brick
pavements, crockery ETC., in the United
States. Clay both absorbs and retains
moisture. This then is the chief fault
find with Canton as residence in my
particular case. Add to this that we are
within the direct line of moisture brought
from the lakes and you have an ideal eli.
mate for the development of rheumatism.
This Is not merely theoretical view, but
my personal experience has proved Ii to
be fact, at least applied to my consti-
tution."
"From my own observation and what
hear on the outside, l understand that
your business has been prosper
GUS and your social relations
unusually pleasant. 1t must therefore be
hard to tear yourself away from such an
cestors and o well established business ~
Excuse me for saying bluntly that is a
superfious question, as l have already
given you my reasons above. As far as the
business success of the Union Clothing
Company is sconcerned, ,our books will show
that II has been prosperous and profitable
from the very start, and is now as solidly
an established concern as any in Ohio. As
to your agreeable allusion to pleasant
social relations, l am only too happy to
express my complete satisfaction. Myself
and family are here now going on three
years, and IT has been our good fortune to
have proved as pleasant and sincere social
and friendly relations with quite q large
circle of very estimable people. confess
this is perhaps the most poignant source
of regret, at my having TO learn custom
for, with my business experience and am
pie financial resources, 1 am confident oi
doing q successful business in any city
that may select hereafter"
"Have you decided upon location 2"
"Not tdeiiniteiy but 1t will probably be In
some of the large prosperous cities, either
in Colorado, Utah, or on the Pacific
coastn
"How soon do you exp 1T to go?n
THAT depends entireiy upon how quick
ly can turn my large stock of clothinl
into cash. To this end the store will bt
closed on Tuesday and Wednesday oi
next week to give our large force of salea
men chance TO mark down every article
in the store. Ipropose to sell our stock a.
actual manufacturers cost, which means
a saving to the purchaser of thirty to IF )
per cent. OF course the unloading of al
enormous stock like ours amounting Il
100000 to $4,000 in town of limited popu
lation Is going to do very serious dam
age to the clothing trade of Canton,
therefore know In advance that this sal,
will be denied, belittled, viIlifled by zeal
Gus competitors but having full confidence
in the intelligence of this community in
being able to judge and use their eyes FOL
themselves, / have no doubt of my sue
cess in closing out my stock within 6
short time. This selling out business
know, is an antiquated chestnut to th,
people of Canton, but when the buying
public have once become satisfied tina
l mean just what say, all the snarlinf
earpiug of competitors, multiplied ter
thousand times, will not keep the crowt
from receiving the genuine, bona fld'
bargains which shall be offered at tn,
Union Clothing Company's closing ou
sale, which will begin next Thursday
morning.
