does very satisfactory business. u,
r. Smlthson, practical pharmacist,
assists him in rolling pills and waiting
on customers. Mr. Blatchley also pos
esses big degree of enterprise and
public spirit, and takes Il prominent
part in local events, being at present
town treasurer.
l>IDOH MAYER.
About three years ago there came
from the hills OF old Owyhee gentle
men who lays claim to the above name,
and started very modest grocery
store III q little frame building on
Front street. At that time such a
venture seemed risky, but Isidor never
wavered, and with that pluck and
endurance which has since given him
an immense. establishment, he went to
work to build up trade and carve out
a fortune. From the day he opened
his door and smiled at customers from
behind his rough pine counter he has
forged steadily ahead, and today finds
him in fine brick store room in the
Masonic block with a1f elegant stock
and Ernest Boone and Chas. Hill to
assist him to attend to the demands of
his growing trade. While Mr.. Mayer
deals in everything but dry goods, he
has made clothing and gents furnishing
goods speciality, and his stock in these
lines would be hard to equal in town
many times the size of Caldwell. Mr..
Mayer also takes an active interest in
town affairs, being member of the
town council.
STILES s. DUNBAR.
Who has not heard of "The Finest ?"
And who having heard, has not called?
And who having called has not
sounded their praise as a strictly first
! class and model establishment. Nj. G.
Stiles and W. G. Dunbar are both thor
ough business men, and have made
wonderful showing for the fifteen
months they have done business
in Caldwell. The adopted "rhe Finest
as their trade mark and motto, and
subsequent events have proven that
the word was well chosen. They han
die only the very hest Of stock. and the
fact that an article comes from "The
Finest" is a guarantee of it's excellence.
They employ one clerk, II. G. Dunbar,
and the three of them are kept on the
jump. Like the majority of Caldwell
business men. both members of this
firm are young and full Of enterprise
and ambition. They have extended
their trade wonderfully in the past
year and expect to win many new
laurels in 1892. The only objection
that can possibly be urged against the
firm, is the fact that Dunbar is bach
elor, but as leap year will soon be here,
this objection will certainly be over
come, as nothing but inherited mod
esty keeps him in his present lonesome
state.
| A. A. HOOVER.
| Hoover is a confirmed bachelor, but
that does not prevent him from being
a good judge Of furniture, as 4 glance
at his large but well selected stock will
show. lie also entered business here Il
few years ago in rather timid way
and under favorable circumstances. lie
now has fine brick store room of his
own in which he could have placed his
original stock and then had to hunt it
with a search warrant. Now he needs
twice as much room rs his commOdious
new brick allows. and we shouldn't be
surprised to see him add another story
70 his store one of these days. People
who travel around and have IN Oppor-
tunity to see, say that Mr.. Hoover car
ries the largest and finest stock of fur
niture in southern Idaho. lie keeps
up with all the requirements of the
country, and does much business il,
surrounding towns.
HOWARD SEDHEE COMPANY.
This is the only strictly implement
house in southern Idaho, and thcil
trade extends hundred miles in al
directions. 1t is under the persona
management of Mr.. Chas. II. Sebree
whose extensive experience in the
farming implement line enables him t.
meet the wants of his customers will
the very best possible results. III,

kinds of machinery and vehicles of thu
very best make. and can furnish any
