LEXINGTON TRIUMPH PRESS BRICK

The above industry since its beginning
has been one of Lexington's most ex-
tensive enterprises, having been origin
ally started by Il. B. Berfie, who is
now q large contractor and builder.
Many of the prominent buildings in
the city were erected by him, notably
McGrew's mill and residence, the Haerle
block, Taubman's building and others.
In 1892 Mr.. Berrie having patented
many improvements in brick making,
formed Z company which was incOrpO-

this plant which covers four acres,
being located adjoining the tracks of
the Missouri Pacific Railroad, turns
out 80, 900 pressed brick daily that find

w. b. BOLTON
In 1885 the partnership of Smith &
Bolton was formed, which continued
until 1890, when Mr.. Smith deciding
to give up the retail business in order
20 travel, he still held an interest in
the concern until 1898, when by pur-
chase w. B. Bolton became sole pre-
prietor, and his present boot, shoe, hat,
and glove store opposite the court house
shows at glance that the owner well
understands the business of which he
is the head. Since spring opened, large
quantities of goods have been daily
arriving, that IN style surpass all for
mer efforts. Now is the time for our
ladies to see the latest eastern styles OF

ahead of ID. Armstrong & Co., OF
Blacker, Gerstle & Cos. goods. While
