Within few days they will have the
building filled with stock Of new
goods, fresh from the factories, which
will embrace every line and quality.
The advantage of buying new goods
will be apparent to all who are familiar
with the changing styles in notions
and dress fabrics. While Mr.. Koble-
gard was in the East, he secured the
services of a New York buyer who
has had twenty years experience In
the dry goods and notions business, to
look after the interests of the COM
pany in that respect.
The Koblegard company will soon
have statesmen on the road, covering
all the towns in Central West Virginia.
1t might be well to call the attention
of merchants to some facts which will
enable the Koblegard Company to sell
goods cheaper that dry goods jobbers
in the larger cities. The Koblegard
Company will be under far less ex-
pense than such concerns in the items
of rent etc. They will also offer them
the advantage of cheaper freight rates
and prompt delivery Of goods. These
advantages will enable the Koble-
gard Company to compete successfully
with all other houses in the same line.

RUHL KoBLEGARD & co.
The Pioneer Wholesale Grocery House
of Central West Virginia.

The Pioneer Wholesale Grocery House
of Central West Virginia.
Ruhl koblegard & Co. conduct the
pioneer wholesale grocery house Of
central West Virginia, and the in
crease in it's volume Of trade has been
fully commensurate with the material
growth and development OF that sec
ton Of the State. The parent house
was a retail store established in Wes-
ton in 1876. To-day the firm occupies
a new seven story brick building, one
of the largest in the State, in Clarks-
burg, with John koblegard as mana
ger; another large wholesale house, in
charge of John Ruhl, in Grafton; and
still conducts the Weston store, of
which Jacob Kobegard is manager
All the houses are connected by tele-
phone
No other firm in the same line en-
joys such an extensive trade in this
section of the State Eleven travelling
statesmen are employed to attend to the
strictly wholesale trade. An evidence
of the high standing of the firm, was
the selection of Mr.. Ruhl as President
of the Wholesale Grocers Association
of West Virginia, a position which he
now fills. e. 'ahi'
Ruhl, koblegard & Co. have achieved
success by energy, enterprise, prudence
and honest business methods. They
handle staple and fancy groceries, and
also conduct an extensive cigar manu-
featuring plant, their product enjoying
an enviable reputation among lovers of
the weed" They have occupied
their new building near the depot since
October, 1896, and it gives them excep-
tional facilities for accommodating the
trade. Retailers living in Central
West Virginia Rave long realized the
fact that they can deal more profitably
to themselves, with Ruhl, Koblegard e
Co., than with jobbers several hundred
miles distant. Their stock of goods
embraces everything usually found in
a first class retail store; they offer the
lowest market prices, their terms are
reasonable, and the saving in freight
charges is an important consideration
Customers Of the firm are invited to
call at any of their three stores when
convenient, and are assured of cour-
teouS treatment.

acter of the improvements made in tho
town.
Clarksburg was the original centre
of all the coal mining in the State, but
during the past twenty years some of
our neighbors have come in and COM
peted for this business and taken part
of it away, but the coal industry in
Clarksburg and the ighbCrhood is on
the increase, and before many years
Clarksburg will occupy its old posi-
ton at the head OF the coal producing
sections of the State, for the supply of
all kinds of coal in this neighborhood
is almost inexhaustible and easy of &C
cess.
The industrial and commercial in
terests of Clarksburg are steadily in
creasing. Within the limits of the
town we boast of planning mills, flour
mills, machine shops, wooden mills,
brickyards and four large wholesale
houses, with one or two more in view
The contract for the Short Line rail-
road has been let for at least one-half
of the distance, and Pat Bennett, the
contractor, will commence work April
first. At no distant day electric cars
will be running through our streets
The new bridge and the B. & o. depot
will be completed within a very few
months, which will make decided
addition to the town. The county
commissioners will decide, no doubt,
to have two bridges to the new depot
instead of one.

MESSIAH Extensive Line.

MESSIAH Extensive Line.
One of the comparatively recent ad-
ditions to the iobbing interests of
Clarksburg is the Williams & DAWSON
Company. This already well known
house was established in 1890, and now
enjoys an extensive trade over the
counties in the central and eastern por-
lions Of the State and Western Mary
land. The success of the firm is a
splendid example of what energy and
prudent business management can &C
complish. Remarkable as it's success
has been, the Williams & Davisson
Company expects further substantial
increases in its volume of trade dur
ing the present year, and will not be
disappointed.
Mr.. J. W. Williams, the secretary
treasurer and general manager of the
company, is an affable and courteous
gentleman, and is hustler" in every
sense of the word The president of
the company is Mr.. e. G..
Davisson, formerly cashier Of
the Exchange Bank. of Wes-
ton. The vice president is Mr. John
Koblegard. The firm made a modest
start in a retail way in Weston, and
the store in that city is still main
tanned as a branch, the exceptional IA
cilities for buying at low prices prov
ing direct benefit to retail custom
ers.
The Williams & Davisson Company
carries general line Of hardware, and
does an exclusively wholesale business
in the Clarksburg house. 1t has the
sole agency here for some Of the most
popular bicycles, and makes a spec
ialty of this department. In addition
the firm carries mill supplies and
makes a speciality of supplying rail-
road contractors. 1t is connected with
the Bell and local telephone exchanges,
and orders through this medium will
receive prompt attention.

BIG DEPARTMENT STORE.

II. L. Lowndes' Stock Embraces Everything
Needed in the Household.
The largest store in Clarksburg, or
even in Central West Virginia, is that
of K. I. Lowndes, which is situated on
Main and Third streets. This store
was started in 1881 by Lloyd Lowndes,
who came from Maryland and settled
down on the exact spot where tna store
still stands. He continued in business
until his death in 1879, and then MS
son, R. I. Lowndes, took possession
In 1896 the grandson Of Lloyd
Lowndes was taken in as partner, so
for three generations year by year, this
store has grown in size and in the vol
ume of business, until it is as it stands
to-day.
The main room, which opens on
Main street, is 100 feet long, by 80 feet
wide, and is devoted to dry goods, no.
lions and ladies' underwear. 0. @.
Owens, the present Mayor of Clarks-
burg, c. L. Huntington and w. H.
Dawson have charge of these different
departments.
Passing through door on the right
you come to the grocery and hardware
departments. This room is 80 feet long
by 40 feet wide, with it's front on Main
street This alone has more floor space
than any other room in town. II. B.
Post and W. P. Benson have charge Of
these departments.
The shoe department opens into the
main floor on the left side next to the
elevator. This room also opens on
Third street. It's show window is the
largest in town. F. E. Highland has
charge in there.
The House Furnishing Department
is over the shoe room and banking
room of R. T. Lowndes & Co. This
room is also 100 feet long by 80 feet
wide, and is filled with all kinds Of car
pets, mating, wall papers, ETC..
Over the main floor is the mems
clothing department. Both OF these de-
partments are presided over by compe-
tent clerks and are under the direct
management of R. T. Lowndes, Jr.
The building from the outside ap-
pears as handsome three-story press
ed brick, of handsome architectural de-
sign, finished in light stone 1t is
over 100 feet long and 70 wide. This
does not include the grocery and hard
ware departments. A visit to this
store, or rather stores, as each depart
ment is a separate store, in itself will
well repay anyone for the time it takes
I'D. 1t is the busiest place in town.

M. Jackson, Jr., this house sprung al
most at once to the front rank of
wholesale grocers and gained reputa-
ton for enterprise and push as we'll
as for scrupulOusness and nicely in
its business methods.
Some two years or more ago they
took into consideration the splendid
natural advantages Of Central West
Virginia, and seeing a future for the
town Of Clarksburg as distributing
point, they established a branch OF
their business here under the manage
mert of Mr.. Frank Armstrong, who
had been shortly before taken into the
firm. Following closely the successful
methods of the old house, the new
concern has grown very rapidly in
time they have been located here have
already recruited a trade of splendid
dimensions. The Clarksburg branch
employs seven travelling statesmen, who
cover the whole of this section Of the
State and the western part of Mary
land. In addition to a very complete
line of everything that properly comes
under the head of groceries, they carry
a large and complete stock of feed
and give this part Of their business
close attention.
Their increasing trade has found
them very much cramped in their
present quarters, and owing to the
prospective change of the B. & O..
depots at this point they have found
it inadyisable to make a change until
this time. They have, however, very
recently purchased large lot in Glen
Elk addition Immediately adjoining
the new freight depot, upon which
they are erecting building 100 feet
square and three stories high. with
commodious cellars, railroad sidings,
etc, which will give them most COM
plete facilities for handling goods in
large quantities and at minimum
expense. They expect to be housed
in their new building by the last of
the summer
Mr.. c. II. Shattuck, Of this concern,
is president Of the Citizens National
Bank of Parkersburg and together
with Mr.. Jackson is interested in
many of the leading enterprises Of
that city.

A MISTAKE BY SPAIN.

In 1905, WREN Spain was fighting against
England. the Spaniards made queer
blunder by defending Havana against an
attack of the British.
Before the British fleet. appeared in the
cffng the ingenious Spsniards had knock
ed holes in the bottoms of their three
warships and sunk them in the narrow
channel leading into the harbor. They
accomplished one thing at least. The hos
tile fleet could not enter the harbor until
the obstructions in the channel had been
removed, and it would be a. rather trying
undertaking to attempt to clear the chan
mel under fire from the guns of La Caban-
mas and MORO Castle.
But the British did, not carry out the
part of the programme the Spaniar 6s
had arranged for them. Instead they
landed on the seaside north OF the hars
Dor entrance. scaled the heights to the
rear of La Cabanas, captured the fort
without difficulty. then tunnelet1 from the
fort to MORO Castle. planted a mine,
blew a part Of the castle into smnher-
Gems, and Havana was theirs.
