slpement. As the name indicates,
The business Is sale Of merchandise,
|s, md . stock is carried that would be
] 3 credit to any town. The stock is
general, that is consisting Of dry
goods, clothing, notions, groceries,
crockery, glassware, hats, caps, boots,
shoes, and furnishing goods. The
sale Of groceries and provisions is I'M
usually large, as in fact is the case in
all departments. The company do
business on olive and let live" princi-
pie, handle none but honest goods
and sell at a close margin, and as
result they are always busy at this
house when many others are idle.
This house is doing good work for
I the people of Worthington am. sur
rounding country an should be well
and literally sustained.
G. H. BABCOCK,
of the drug trade, is next on the
list, and worthy of q prominent
position in this review. Mr.. B.
succeeded G. w. Smith about one
year ago, coming here from St.
Paul, this state. He is a reg stored
pharmacist of two states, and pos
sessessed of long and valuable
experience in the business repre-
scented. The stock carried is a
large one, and complete to the
smallest detail. Stock embraces
pure drugs, medicines, toilet and
perfumery goods, paints, oils, wall
paper, cooks, stationery, and q
large and handsome display of
fancy and holiday goods. Mr.. B.
has demonstrated his ability to
please and win patrons during the
past few weeks, as he bcs enjoyed
one of the most extensive trades in
holidsy goods ever witnessed in
this city. While the stock is too
varied to name article by article, it
is perfectly proper to say that the
best similar concerns of the large
cities can offer no better opportun-
tiles to the purchasing public. NJ.
B. also carries one of the best cigar
stocks to be found in Wo tb;:.ngton.
He is a pleasant gentlem an to deal
with, and although bo!y about one
year established, Occupies a FORE
most position ir4 the line repre-
sented.
CITY MEAT MARKET,
Il. s. durd, proprietor, is an indi-
spensable element in Wor;Dingtons
Business circles, and worthy of
more than passing notice in this
connection. Mr.. Hprd he's been
engaged in the bus less here for
about five years, and is we'll in
formed as to the wants and require
ments of patrons. He not only
does an extensive retail meat bust
ness, carrying in stock fresh and
cured meats, lard, tallow, sausage,
bologna, poultry, oysters, etc., but
also does quite an extensive trade
in live stock shipping. In his re-
tail business Mr.. II. has always
made it point to handle none but
the best, and as result he has SO.
cured a patronage that is not only
permanent, but profitable. The
best market of our large cities are
not better equipped for doing bus.
mess, and none can or will do bet.
ter by the purchasing public.
PHOTOGRAPHIC.
3. F. Buchan is disciple of the
art Photographic, and has been ca
tering to the artistic tastes of thu
people of Worthington for nearl,
Ii years, and so far as the people
of this city are concerned at least
his efforts have been highly sue
cessful. Mr.. B. not only under
stands thoroughly the business
which he represents, but is en-.
lowed with rare artistic genius
naturally. When this ability il
coupled with thorough mechan.
ical knowledge, the best results
may naturally be expected. The
products of this establishment
which embrace portrait ink anc
crayon work, views and landscapes
are in all cases of superior char
acter, and specimens observed b,
the writer betray unusual skill il
execution. The very best anc
most expensive methods prevail
the best material is used, and thu
work turned out is fully up to tina
Of the best metropolitan galleries
Mr.. b. keeps a good stock o.
frames, and the ADVANCE does no
hesitate to commend his services
to all who desire the most artist,
work in his line.
R. F. BAKER,
Of the clothing trade, has been do
ing business in this city for nearl,
70 years, and is not only the pio
neer in that particular line, but i,
