w. T. Menge.
The most popular restaurant, fruit and
confectionery store in L'Anse is owned
and conducted by w. T. Menzie, who was
born and raised in this city and is prob
ably one of its youngest business men.
His stock occupies "A room 20 10y 10, and it
is well filed. He carr es the largest stock
of confectionery on this line of road, and
it fairly makes a persons mouth water to
see the large and varied assortment of
sweetmeats He also handles a fine line
of cigars and tobacco and his store is
headquarters for all kinds of green fruits.
Stationery of all kinds, school tablets,
aud soaps for toilet and washing can also
be found in this store Mr.. Menge in
formed us that he intended to put in the
largest stock of holiday goods this season
that was ever brought to the city, and it
would consist of everything in the plush
goods and celluloii line, aud in fact all
the latest novelties in this line. Mr..
Menge is an excellent young business man
and has built up an excellent trade since
starting this store.
ii. j. Seifert & Co.
H. j. Seifert, the senior member of this
firm, came to L'Anse in 1876, and since
that time he has been engaged in various
business enterprises and has always been
one of its most liberal and enterprising
citizens He is a member of the present
city council, and is also chairman of the
board of superintendent of the poor,
and he takes an active interest in the
workings of both. He owns u fine resi-
dence in the city and also has some val
liable lands; and in fact Mr.: Seifert is
one of the county's heaviest tax payers.
Matt. Hanson is the SEQ" part of the
| firm and he has been a resident of the
city for twelve years, and is at present
holding the Office of justice of the peace
and he makes n very dignifed official
when holding court, and is worthy of the
title of Judge which his friends have
affixed to his name.
These two gentlemen formed a partner
ship about four years ago and opened up "a
first-class saloon and billiard parlor, and
it has been run in highly commendable
manner right from the start. Their bar
room is fitted up in fine style and they
have n combination pool and billiard
table, and their billiard parlor is favor
| lite resort with all lovers of that sport.
I'm Ia ha las q
wbiskey and beer, and they always keep
large stock on hand and do a general
wholesaling business, supplying the local
trade in surrounding towns, and all mail
orders are promptly attended to. Both of
these gentlem men are among L'Anse's most
highly respected citizens and their saloon
has the reputation of being the most quiet
and most orderly establishment of the
kind in the city. They both own property
and contribute their share toward paying
the expenses of the city, and when a lib
eral donation for the city's good is asked
for Messrs Seifert and Hanson are always
the first to respond,
NJ. Wallace.
Popularity is not always n synonym of
success If it were, the gentleman whose
name heads this sketch would need no
other qualifications to make him a leader
in the local business world, Mr. Wallace
has been resident of the county for four
teen years, and for ten years he has been
identified with the business interests of
this city. He now owns and operates the
old reliable Star Livery and Feed Stables,
one of the largest and best equipped barns
in the county, and it is located one door
south of the New Lloyd Hotel. The barn
is 3OxS0 two stories and basement, and
Mr. Wallace now has ten or twelve fine
teams and carriages which he can furnish
with or without drivers. One thing we
noticed in particular upon entering this
barn, and that was the admirable condi-
ton it was kept in. During the past six
months we have probably visited over a
hundred livery barns and to our utter
disgust we noticed that two-thirds of
them were slovenly kept, had bad disa-
greeable smell prevalent in all quarters of
