spicuously before the general public
we therefore think it our duty to make
Il brief statement in its behalf. This
is one of the oldest and the leading
shop in this county that does hand
work exclusively and the firm takes "a
commendable pride in the fact that an
inferior piece of work never leaves the
shop. Although their large and rap
idly increasing trade requires addi-
tonal help, they will employ none but
the best of skilled workmcn, who are
capable of maintaining the high
standard of their work. Miller Il Kin
son, the subjects of this sketch are
gentlemen who have become identified
with the business representatives of
this locality and they are today with
out peer They manufacture every
thing in the harness line, from the
finest mounted driving harness to
farm and draft wear, and their estab-
lishment is worthy of a visit. They
carry an excellent stock of harness.
saddles, halterS, combs, whips.
brushes and harness outfits generally.
Nothing but the very best material is
used, and they enjoy such facilities in
procuring stock that they are able to
sell at the lowest quotations. They
use none but the very best leather,
and all work is guaranteed as repre-
scented.
This business was started by lluestis
a. Burnap over 40 years ago Mil
Ter a. Kinson were in their employ for
twenty six or seven years and upon
their death these gentlemen went over
on Elliot street working in similar
business and afterwards bought out
the business which had previously
been conducted by Mr.. MiIlcr's grand
father and known widely as the "old
Col Miller stand They remained
there for seven years and from thence
moved to the little 33 store Edwards
house" remaining there until the
Grange store was started. From there

location buying out Minor, December
