WHOLESALE GROCERY.

Some time ago prominent business
men of Wausau partially formulated
plans for organizing a stock company
for the purpose of starting and operat-
ing a large wholesale grocery house to
supply all grocery stores in this North
ern section. At that time the scheme
was to utilize certain store on Third
street, the proprietor of which was to
be one of the stockholders, but the
scheme, it appears, miscarried and
others have now taken the matter up.
Friday and Saturday of last week Thos.
Mullen, representative of Johannes
Bros wholesale grocery store of Green
Bay, was in the city, and he caused a
certain merchant to secure options on
property for his firm. The property
desired is located on the fiat near the
site of the old North-W Western depot,
and three months option was OBJ
tanned of Mrs. Anton Dern on the Ere
mont House property at 81 800, and on
Balzer Williams property adjoining for
81 200. This property faces south Fourth
street and comprises three lots, and
should they be purchased it is said, by
those in a position to know what they
are talking about, that large building
will be erected and wholesale grocery
started. Johannes Bros is the leading
firm in the wholesale grocery line on
the Lake Michigan shore north of Mil
waukee, and are said to be excellent
people to deal with. They handle a
great amount of canned goods, taking
nearly the entire output of the Gamer
les in that section. Should the house
be established here it is probable that
it will mean the erection of other can
neries for Marathon county. One of
&
merry, when approached on the subject,
stated that as yet TIE Green Bay firm
had not made any contracts with his
company. The Wausau Canning COM
pany as yet has made no contracts
with anyone.

A GREAT ATTRACTION.

There is now established in this city
a regular silk colony, and the beauti-
fully attired operatives will soon be at
work day and night. After commence
ing work they do not stop to eat, drink
or sleep until their task is finished, then
they take a good long sleep. The
workers are genuine Chinese silk
worms. They are on exhibition at the
Bazaar store, 5l7 Third street. 1t is a
sight of life time and none should
miss seeing them. There will be no
charge for seeing The worms until they
begin 70 spin, which will be within a
few days. The rich, cream color of the
worms, the golden sheen of the silk,
and the dark green of the foliage upon
which they feed, makes very beauti-
full picture, especially at night, under
artificial light This exhibition will
last one week, but 60 early and see the
commencement of the short, active and
useful life af these little toilerS. The
exhibition is being given under the aus
pieces of the ladies of the Baptist church.
Admission 10 cents. Two admissions,
