RUSSELL CARRIAGE FACTORY

AS We are ennmerating the different
enterprises of Lexington, we must not
allow u reliable carriage maker, Mr.
David Russell, to pass unnoticed. Mr..
Russell came to city in the yeaI
1852. In 1854 he engaged in the carriage
business with Mr.. Mendenhall, where
they continued until 1859. Mr.. Russell
resumed business during the war, and
has continued since that time, being
known as Russell, the carriage maker.
1t would be well to mention here that
the Russell carriage factory is the oldest
manufacturing enterprise in the city.
lie has on hand a large stock of Surveys,
buggies, road and spring wagons, of his
own make. His long experience in
business has given him a reputation
that extends throughout the state. and

BARREL FACTORY,

The barrel factory, under the super
vision of Mr.. Joe James. was started
ten years since. Mr.. James work is
good. Five wOrkmen are employed con,
stantly in the factory. Fifty Thousand
barrels were shipped last year. We trust
his trade will increase so much that a
double force will be employed. Mr.
James Is very efficient, and deserves the
patronage of all who need goods in his
line.
