the question OF the grievances and dis
eussed first a general Increase OF 20 per
cent in wages. Mr.. Mitchell said he de-
sired this be based not upon the pres

ROMANS e. ELMORE.
Maufaeturers of Fine Vehicles.

The cheap "made to sell" vehicles
have seen their day. The reaction
has set in, and manufacturers of high
grade vehicles are being kept busy to
supply the demand. The establish
ment of Romans s. Gilmore during its
business career has supplied the pub
lie faithfully and well in their de.
mand for fine buggies and carriages,
and the result is a reputation for a
class of work which bears the stamp
of high grade workmanship and finish,
and constructed from the very best
material. The plant contains a full
equipment of the latest improved
tools and machinery, and embodies all
the ideas which long experience In We
hicle construction could suggest.
Ihere are many strong points of ex-
cellence in all the work of this eStab-
ilShment, so many in fact. and of such
merit. that it cannot be surpassed
anywhere. Mr.. Romans the founder
OF the business is a native of Garrard
county and from bOyhood has made
the building of buggies and carriages
his sole occupation. To his natural
ability which has earned for him the
reputation of an expert, he is an orig
lnal thinker and his vehicles contain
many improvements which are not
usually found in vehicles made out
side of his establishment. Mr.. RO-
mans was joined by J. w. Gilmore
about one year ago, and the business
is now run under the firm name Ro-
mans & Gilmore. This firm gives a
guarantee with every vehicle, an easy
thing for them to do, knowing its full
history from the crude material tC
the finished production. Prices are
bed rock, workmanship the best, a
policy which has made the establish.
ment we'll known and popular. Re.
pair work of every description is done
promptly, the high class of work leav.

The metropolitan advantagageS
which Lancaster possesses in mercan-
tile lines are strongly evidenced in the
establishment of H. T. Logan. Large
establishments are quick to recognize
enterprise, and make selling agents of
those only who have ability and apti-
tude to represent faithfully and well
their standard productions, which in

best skill, and large expenditure in
money. Hence the metropolitan ad-

H. M. BALLOU.
Fancy Groceries. and Fancy Queens
Ware.

Value and variety in all mercantile
lines are points made frequently to
indnce trade, but volume and variety,
amount to nothing if not strictly
adapted to the needs and desires of
patrons. A stock of groceries which
indicates knowledge of standard
productions as we'll as evidences, a
close study of popular tastes, is that
Of II. M. BallOu. The canned goods
and standard preparations bear the
labels of leading firms and embrace
many brands to be found only in the
tirSt-claSS establishments of the larger
cities. The stock of coffee contains
quality for price, fact evidenced in
the steady demand for Chase and San
bOrn's seal brand. land the Yale brand,
while j., e. Ms whole wheat and Ora
ham flour are popular with huuSekeep-
erS throughout this section, who re-
cOgnize their excellent bread-making
qualities. Mr.. BallOu has the local
agency for the celebrated LOwney
chocolates and other choice confec-
tionS, which, for purity and excellence
are not to be surpassed. His cigar
case contains all the leading and pop
ular brands, and receives the patron
age of the most particular smokers of
the vicinity. A most important de.
partment is that containing the Chi
ma and queenSware, where is present
ed most handsome assortment of ia
BILE articles from the plain and solid
plates and cups, to the highly decOra-
ted dinner sets and the delicately
tinted Haviland pieces. All Haviland
ware is imported direct for Mr.. Ballou
by Holloway & Reece, of Indianapolis,
the largest importers in the West.
Thus will be seen that not only is the
stock Of Mr.. BallOu not to be excelled
in this section in volume and variety.
but also in its selections of articles of
established reputation, while the pri,
ces throughout will stand the test of
honorable competition any where. Mr..
BallOu is an enterprising business
man, and has given to Lancaster an
establishment which is very credita-
BILE in every respect.
