History of the Carriage Works.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal
ATTICA Ind, Sept. 3O-The Oldest manu-
featuring concern in this county is the Fish
er, Arbogast & Co. carriage works, organ
lied in 1865 by Joseph Fisher, Lee Arbogast
and j. II. Finfrocx. Although Mr.. Fisher
died in 1889, the firm still continued doing
business under the name which was so well
advertised throughout this section of the
State and which had always creditably
weathered every panic and season of hard
times during the years since its organization
The commercial standing of Fisher, Arbo-
CAST & Co. is SO well known that it was a.
great surprise to the large trade enjoyed
by the firm to see a notice in the Journal
recently stating that the firm had failed at
one time 1t is plain that some one has
imposed on the Journal, and your corre-
spondent desires to correct the statement
and in addition tell the readers of the Jour-
nal something about the carriage works
which have so long been a credit to Attica
More than ordinary credit is due Fisher
Arbogast q Co., owing to the fact that the
tornado of May IL, 1886, swept the works
almost off the face of the earth. Their
plant was laid fiat causing a loss of about
$3O,OOJ, on which they had no insurance but
they had stanch friends, who enabled them
to get on their feet again The plant was
rebuilt and carriages were being turned out
claims against them, dollar for dollar, and
have much more substantial plant now, on
Main street, than before the catastrophe
which swept over this city.
Joseph Fisher really established the car
riage works in 1854, Lee Arbogast at that
time being only an employee. Until 1889 the
firm continued unchanged. Mr.. Fisher
death resulted in reorganization, the inter
est of the heirs being bought out by Lee
Arbogast and j. Fl. Finfrock. Since then
the firm has been adding to its previous good
record. Its product consists in high-grade
carriages, buggies, Surveys and phaetons.
The firm confines itself almost exclusively
to the local market the Fisher, Arbogast
& Co. carriages being largely In the ajority
for miles around in this part of the State.
Sometimes the firm ships as far as Califor-
MIA and Mexico, but it does not cater to
distant trade and prefers not to do whole
sale business.
In good times. says Mr.. Arbogast,
there is plenty of business in this and adj
most appreciative and loyal During the
panic and the two years following we did
a first-class business, but last year was
lighter and prosperity has not exactly
struck the carriage business this year. This
is probably because people got in the habit
of making their old vehicles do during the
hard times and they are still economizing
as long as possible before laying out money
for q new carriage. When the carriage
business does open up again ii will probably
be better than for years.
The plant gives employment to twenty men
the year round in good times, and the firm
has every confidence that in 1898 its bust
ness will be up 10 any previous year.

THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indiges-
ton by Dieting a BarbaroEs
and Useless One.

We say the old way. but really 1t IS a
very common one at present time, and
many dyspeptics and physicians as well
consider the first step 10 take IN attempting
to cure indgesting is TO diet, either by SCI
lecting certain foods AMI rejecting others
or to greatly diminish the quantity usually
taken. in other words. the starvation plan
is by many supposed to be the first esseu-
tial
The almost certain failure of the starva-
ton cure for dyspepsia has been proven
time and again, but still the moment dys-
pepsia makes its appearance course Of
dieting is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is foolish
and unscieptihc to recommend dieting or
starvation 10 a man suffering from dyspep-
STA, because indigestion itself starves every
organ and every nerve and every fiber in
the body.
What the dyspeptic wants is abundant
nutrition, which means plenty of good.
wholesome well-cooked food and some
thing to assist the weak stomach to digest
it. This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted
and this is the method by which they cure
the worst cases of dyspepsia; in other
words, the patient eats plenty Of whole
some food and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
digest it for him. In this way the system
is nourished and the overworked stomach
rested. because the tablets will digest the
food whether the stomach works or not.
One of these tablets will digest 1900 grains
of meat or eggs
Your druggist will tell you that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest and safest
remedy sold for stomach troubles, and
every trial makes one more friend for this
excellent preparation. Sold at so cents
for full-sized package at all drug stores.

RENSSELAER,, Ind, Sept 30-In an ar
ticle from this city containing an account
of the speculative career of the Dwiggins
boys, who recently failed in New York, and
which article appeared in the Journal on
Sept. IL. your correspondent was made to
say that the "Arbogast carriage works. y
at Attica, Ind, had failed at one time. This
statement was erroneous and great in
justice to Fisher Arbogast & Co., of Attica
The writer who made the statement was
misinformed, it is known that Fisher, Ar
bogast a. Co. never failed, the firm being
one of substantial business standing since
it's organization in 1865. The tornado of
May II, 1886. which struck Attica wrecked
Fisher Arbogast & Co. plant, and it was
confusedrecollection of this disaster which
led the writer to make the error in the
article referred to above. This correction
is due the firm of Fisher. Arbogast & Co,
which quickly recovered from the loss caused
by the storm and has always met all claims

and that ii finds market before 1t is cold.

swer to the equity proceedings instituted
