Grocery House.

One of the firms of Florence
that has proven that ''everlastingly
keeping at it brings success" is
the popular grocery house of Lewis
& Yost.
The members of this firm are
NJ. Z. Lewis and Lewis Yost, both
well known business men who
have been interested in and asso-
ctated with every movement to-
ward the growth and development
Of the town.
For several years before forming
the partnership that now exists
between them, both these gentle
men we're in the employ of Rocka-
fellow q Baker, of Rockvale. That
firm selling out their business,
Messrs. Lewis and Yost came to
this place and on February 1884,
opened up a grocery store, under
the present firm name, in the little
frame building south of where the
Rogers block now stands. On
July 4th of that year, the
Lowell block being completed and
ready for occupancy, the young
firm moved their stock of goods
into that building where it is now
located, Since locating there the
business of the firm has steadily
increased until the gentlemen now
have all they can do, a full share
0 the camp trade going to their
place
Their stock is fresh, complete
and well kept, and these points
are all favorable to liberal patron

Wife Should Insist on an
Allowance.

| wish here TO emphasize the
fact which so many husbands and
wives seem to forget that mar
riage is on neside as much bust
ness contract as any other partner
ship, and demands exactly the
same business treatment. The
husband is the Garner, the wife the
distributor, of capital, and of the
two her work is really the more
complex and difficult. The only
way to carry on this business part
nership successfully in financial
way, and without friction person
ally, is to put it on a cash basis.
1t is right that the wife should
insist upon having an allowance.
| think the reluctance with which
many a man looks upon giving an
allowance to his wife comes not so
much from selfish and sordid
love of the money itself, as from
real mistrust of woman's ability
to handle it wisely. He, foolish
man, doubts her knowing the value
of dollar because she has never
earned one Ladies' Home Jour
