Chidister used for four score years.
The services were held at the home

by many friends and relatives.
Each of the ministers made short
address. They related the story of
the famous anvil, which in compliance
with a request of Chidister, was used
during the service. The anvil, since
Chidister retired a few years ago at
the age OF 33 years, had been kept at

To show the advance In the prico OF
property and the changes that have
taken place in Canton since v. r. Kim.
ball bought that property, it is only
necessary to say that he bought that
iull lot, with the two-story brick resi-
dence on the front part. and good
sized stable on the back for $500.
In the News-Democrat OF February.
1900 we gave good picture OF the old
ktmball homestead. which many Of
the readers may renseK ber.
In 1870, the Bac.;at congregation
purchased the property for $4,000 and
had all the old buildings removed TO
make room for the large church which
was erected by the Baptists In 1871,
and Is still occupied by them.
About the same time that v. r. Kim
ball bought the home referred to for
u, 500, the two lots just south of 1t
one OF which had a two-story frame
building on 1t about where the Kepling-
er residence now stands, was sold by
JOhn Slusser as administrator of tho
estate Of Philip Slusser, for the small
sum OF $500. We cannot realize that
at any time property could have been
so cheap In Canton. But those were
dark days for Canton. We had no
railroads or other means OF transpor-
tation except the Ohio canal at Mas
sillon. eight miles west OF sus, and the
tide Of trade went that way. b
~ - - ~stG
But, Notwithstanding the trade was
against Canton and in favor of Mas
sillon at that time, v. r. Kimball had
q large trade and sold many goods and
bought much produce. His reputation
as an enterprising merchant was
known all over the country.
AS has been noticed on former oc.
casions. Canton, sixty or seventy
years ago, had five or six tan yards in
operation, and Kimball's was probably
the largest and best known, but things
nave greatly changed. Now we have
no tan yards. no wagons are seen ON
our streets loaded with bark for the
tan yard, as was the case when some
OF US were young. Neither do we see
country teams coming into town load
ed with cord wood for Are wood. Coal
took the place of wood for fuel and
now to a great extent gas has taken
the place Of both wood and coal In
Canton. What another sixty or seven-
ty years may develop Is very hard to
predict, but we can feel assured that
Canton has as good a prospect In the
future - has any other city OF like
size in the state.
People come and 60, and all thinxs
about ys show that we have "no ab-
Icing city here" but there il one for
eli who put their trust and hone n
6od's promises for the future STATE.

by V. r. Kimball, who was one of Can.

merchants in his day. When this
room was first built it was only about
half the depth 1t is now, the extension
having put on since the building was
occupied by George Fl. Spangler, who
Is still in this storeroom.
When first built it was looked upon
as one Of the largest and most modern

that time the large windows were not
enclosed by one large plate glass as
now, but number of smaller lights
were used and We show the building
as 1t was in its early history. &
V, X. Kimball was native of the
state of New York and was a tanner
by trade when he first came to Canton
about 1927. He came as the foreman
Of the new lanyard put up by William
Christmas, which is the large brick
building at the north end OF Iazelette
avenue and in later years was convert
ed into what was known as Knobloch' s
brewery. v. r. Kimball proved to be
one of the best men in William Christ
mas employ, but the position was one
that would not satisfy man gifted as
he was to conduct a larger business for
himself.
A few years later v. r. Kimball con-
cluded to go into business on his own
account. and opened a store in the
two-story building then known as the
Kitzmiller building, which stood where
Bockius shoe store now Is, Just north
OF and adjoining the building shown
In our picture today.
In this building V. r. Kimball built
up a very extensive mercantile bus

well as being an enterprising mer-
chant. He built large brick lanyard
at the southeast corner of Cherry and
Third streets, which building was af-
terward purchased by Lawrence Alex
ander and converted into a wooden
mill and cloth factory. and Is yet used
by Frank Alexander. the son OF Law
renee, as a wooden factory.
v. r. Kimball was mar of more
than ordinary business ability and en-
terprise and he rallied around him
men and clerks that were efficient and
accommodating. 80 that very soon he
had built up one Of the most extensive
business houses In this region. He al

Lot Values Are Rapidly
Advancing.
UNCHANGED
In Spite Of The Additions 60 be
Made to the Car Works
--look at The
Plat.

The announcemnt that the structural
steel car works would double its capac
ity has turned the attention OF all to
the Arlington addition, upon which
these mammoth works arabeing erected
The fact that the car works in It's or
iginal dimensions was being built in
this new addition, led many to seek
building lots there, but since 1t is
known that two immense shops will
be built, and that instead of a few hun
dred, a thousand men will be en-
ployed, the demand for lots and par
GELS of ground is greater than ever be-
fore.
1t is realized that the greatest
growth in the city is to be in its south
west part and no one addition can af-
ford such splendid opportunities as Ar
lington place. The assurance that
these shops will be enlarged has in no
way affected the price in lots that are
for sale by w. J. Steele, the manager
of Arlington. The purchasers will get
the advantage of the increased values.
GET IN EARLY.
This fact makes it imperative upon
those who are contemplating buying to
secure a choice of lots early before the
influx of home seekers which wilioccur
at the opening of the plant, which is
only few weeks away. The indica-
tions are that this car plant will in
afew years become the greatest in the
country. There is mint OF capital
be hind 1t. The business is one that
will expand The common wooded
car is thing of the past. So far as
they can, railways are replacing all
their cars with steel ones. 1t will take
years to supply the demand. Canton
Will benefit by this great demand.
At the present time 1t is impossible
to rent desirable house anywhere
near the Arlington place. The ques-
tion naturally arises, how are the en-
ployes of this great concern to be sup
piled with homes. The necessity for
building is apparent to ALL The men,
or some one who is desirous of build
Ing for the purpose of renting, must
buy lots upon which houses can be
