HOYT & PETERS.

Monday last 1 visited the furniture
store of Hoyt d Peters. This in my
Judgment, is the leading furniture es-
adjustment of Wellington. The
building is one of the finest business
structures in the town and is central
ly located on Main street, nearly
fronting the beautiful square. n. q.
Hoyt of the firm has been in business
here in Wellington for forty years
and two years ago associated with
himself ID. j. Peters. Both these gen
tlemen | found to be practical men
and their thorough up-to-date raison
detre and understanding of the wants
of patrons throughout all seasons is
evidenced in their stock of furniture.
The stock embraces everything in the
house furniture line and is all of the
very best of its kind manufactured.
The establishment has two stories and
the stock is arranged SO that every
article in both warerooms can be eN-
amined advantageously by the custo-
mer. Among the articles | particu-
larly noticed fine quartered oak bed
room sets. The latest styles and de-
signs. Some handsome couches, up
holstered in artistic and rich looking
ribbed velvets are very ornamental to
a room as well as being most useful
Then / noticed some elegant tables in
oak, ash, maple and cherry, beautiful
things for parlors or reception rooms.
\ lovely design in white enameled
iron bedsteads, with brass trimmings,
such as rails, post knobs and orna-
ments are sanitary and very orna-
mental. The stocks include book
cases, cabinets, mattresses, hair,
spring and woven wire, chairs of all
kinds, of different woods and designs
and tables of every description. One
of the most admirable of the latter
and the latest thing out, is he patent
extention "Recilious" dining-room
table. It is massive looking piece of
furniture made in quartered oak, yet
so sRillfully adjusted and nicely bal
anced that it can be manipulated cas-
lily. This is one Of the finest stores in
Wellington and deserves the largest
patronage from all the region around
about this town. The members of the
firm are progressive merchants,
abreast Of their modern epoch and
cater to please their customers of ev-
cry class. I recommend all my read
ers to look at this stock OF furniture.
Now is the time t:r you to purchase

THE FRENCH PRINTING co.

The business of this company was
first inaugerated by E. L. French, in
June 1894. In August 1896, E. /.
French and his brother A. E. French
purchased the Courier and established
the name, French Printing Co. In
January 1897, the old established En-
terprise was purchased, and together
with its entire Office outfit and assets
consolidated with the stock of the
French Printing Company. With that
reorganization Mr.. G. Il. Lebeck was
admitted to membership in the firm.
Since that time the French Printing
Company has been one Of the import
ant business elements of Wellington.
The policy pursued by the concern,
both in publication of the Enterprise
and in the book and job printing de-
partments, has been liberal and pro-
gressive. All the partners are young
men, and up-to-date in their con-
duct of the printing and publishing
business. They are most careful and
industrious in filling orders intrusted
to them. The Enterprise has been a
very Influential paper, having an ex-
change list covering a wide territory,
east and west, north and south. 1t has
ever literally given its columns to the
advertisement of the town. The book
and job printing departments have
never wholly depended upon home
patronage, but these young men have
reached away, for over the land, in all
directions, far printing of all kinds, and
today, their printing orders come in
every direction all over the country.
Mr.. E. L. French, of this firm is pract-
ical man, understanding both the
printing trade and the conduct of the
newspaper business in every particular.
The equipment of presses, type, paper
cutters ETC., is extensive, unusual in a
town of Wellington's size. The job
printing department is adequate to
any amount of work, and the styles of
type are new and artistic. The concern
has facilities, type, presses etc, for do
ing the finest book and job work.
They employ none but expert job prin-
ters and pressmen and therefore ac-
knowledge no superior in this line Of
their business. 1 can cordially recon-
mend the French Printing Company to
all my readers.

WELLlNGToN COX CO.

This company owns WOODWORKING
mill which is one of the largest and
most progressive manufacturing in
dustries of Wellington. 1t is ably
managed by Mr.. L. H. Wadsworth,
who is a young man, thoroughly up
to-date in his executive methods. The
mill is a representative plant of its
kind, being built of brick, two stories
in heighth and equipped with the
modern woodworking machinery.
The engine has power of 80 horse
power. The plant is located on the
north side of the Big -Four railroad.
The principal product is cheese boxes,
but speciality is also made of all mill
work.
Promptness in filing orders has
gained the manager popularity and
an extensive trade, which is un-
equaled by any other mill of this kind
in Lorain county. Work ordered at
this mill is executed with dispatch,
evidencing the business foce of the
management and care for the custom
er's interests. When the mill is
working to it's full capacity, from fif-
teen to twenty men can be employed.
1t has always been, thus liberal con-
tributor to the living expenses of
Wellington. In special manufactures
this mill can compete with any wood
working factory in Lorain county.
Efficient men are always employed
and the foreman are experienced me-
chanics who thoroughly know the
business in all its details. This mill
manufactures all the cheese boxes
used for the factory cheese shipped
from Wellington to all parts of the
world. As one of the progressive in
dustries of Wellington. I can recon-

country.
