There is not an industry in Harri-
son that reflects u more creditable
light upon the business transactions
of the town, than that furnished bv
the Harrison Electric Light and Ice
Company, in fact there is no plant
in the state that furnishes a purcr,
cleaner. brighter or more steady
service than this one.
The machinery of the plant is of
the newest and most modern make,
with an SO-horse power engine, and
a capacity of 24OO incandescent and
90 arc lights.
r. NJ. Fellows, the manager, Is one
of HarrisOn'S most indOmitable and
energetic business men, always
among the foremost of our citizens
in every enterprise that tends to put
Harrison to the front, and in all his
undertakings he has been generally
successful.
This company also manufactures
the highest grade of ice from the pur-
est of water, and has a capacity oI
about five tons daily, nearly al
of which is absorbed here at home.
The manufacture of ice is an indis
pensIble part of the plant during the
summer months, and our people ap
preciatc 1t by giving it liberal pat
rOnage.

Frew SaddIery Co.

Among Harrison 5 hrst-class bus
mess houses NAV be mentioned the
above popular company, who deal
exclusively in horse-furniture and
fixtures Their popularity arises
from the fact that their goods are all
homemade, and no poor scrap leath-
er goes in any article. They have
always argued that a satisfied Gus
toner is always a customer, and for
that reason they can always be de
pended upon to give. YOU the best
for your money. Their line of sad
dies and trappings cannot be excell-
ed anywhere, while in harness, moth
ing shipped in has the wearing quail
ties of those that Frew makes. y
They cordially invite hOrsemen to
call and inspect their line of goods,
as they are confident the verdict will
be in their favor

The New York Store.

Harrison has many first-class bus
mess houses, and not the least
among them is the New York Store,
whose complete line of up-to-date
goods always attract the attention
of buyers People usually like to
patrOnize a business house that does
business in a business manner, and
where they are always sure of find
ing the best goods at low figures.
That Mr.. RObard has succeeded in
pleasing the trade, is fully demons
trated by the crowds that throne
his his store, and the fact that
but few go away without buying, is
an evidence of a complete stock
found to select from.

AS a gift to wife, daughter or sweet
heart, what would be more desir-
able than a well-selected ornament

watches, clocks and jewelry is well
selected and attractively displayed.
He makes a speciality of fine watch
and clock work and engraving AS

equals, and there is no mechanism so
delicate or intricate that he cannot

Mrs. w. F. Mitchell.

ways pleasing to the ladies, and when

Central Telephone Co.

In this day and age so universal is
the use of the telephone, so yaluab BILE
its benefits as time and labor saver,
that the business man who does not
include it in his equipment lacks pro-
gressiveness, and experiences many
disadvantages Viewed from this
standpoint, and it is an infallible cri-
terion, the citizens of Harrison may
be deemed alert and enterprising, since
the telephone directory records on its
local exchange list nearly 800 subsCri-
bers. The charges for rental of boxes
are placed at e for business houses
and 81 a month for residences, which
are really as low, if not lower than the
prices charged in towns of like size,
especially when the efficiency of the
service is considered, while on the toll
lines very low charge is placed. I'M
provementS are being constantly
made, and everything that may tend
to the good of the service is being
done; as result the Central Tele-
phone Co. is growing i'll favor.

than this establishment. Such a fac

hubs and spokes, bending works,
etc 1t is the chance of the wear,
and the time is ripe for such an en-
terprise, and our men of money
should investigate its possibilities,
and then push the matter. Our to vn

her, that have been OF great benef t
to other places, but now that there
is an opportunity to place a home
institution on a broader basis, we
should at once grasp at the chance.
In future issue we shall have more
to say in regard TO the enlargement
of the Bower wagon plant.

THE jury of awards in the HOr-
ticultural Department Worlds Fair,
has awarded A B. Capps. the gold

While Mr.. Capps won the gold medal
on the display from his orchard. he
had the largest display of any one
individual in the state, and be
also furnished a fresh supply
throughout the season. Mr.. Capps
thinks with the record of prizes that
Carroll and Boone County have

E. c. Ross & Co.

One OF the best examples We know
OF, showing what can he done with
little push and energy in the gro
cery business, IS the trade built up bv
this reliable business house Mr..
Ross has only been in Harrison a
short time, but in that brief period
has built up one of the largest gro
cery trades in the county, and in
town where nearly every business
handles more or less groceries This
shows remarkable success, but 1t did
not come by sitting down Micawber
like, waiting for something to turn
up 1t IS natural to suppose that
such business could be built up un-
less their stock was full and complete
and sold very low, and this was soon
learned by those who bought of the
new firm Beside their regular sta
pies, 1t Is Il fad with them to have
something extra for patrons; perhaps
one day 1t would be choice hams, an
other day 1t would be choice veget-
ableS, and so on Their line OF can
ned goods Is always complete, and
on their shelves may be seen all the
famous brands of canned gOods. The
finest line of confectioneries is carried
by this firm, while their stock of to-
bacco and cigars is of the very best.
They pay special attention to pro-
duce, while butter and eggs bring
YOU the highest prices at this store
BY industry, perseverance and hon
est business methods they have built
up an enviable business, and they
appreciate the patronage received.

date drug stores, is the one presided

Everything is kept in apple-pie order,
and the goods are invitingly displayed
The stock includes everything
usually contained in d first-class drug
store, and everything is fire h and pure
and no stale or musty goods on the

is among the best in the state, and the
purity of the drugs used and the care
taken in the compromising, is a suffic-
lent guarantee. The trade enjoyed by

dlcat1on of the high regard in which
his efforts to please his customers are
held. Attab!e and Obliging, he has
made many friends whC are pleased to
see his large and increasing trade.

The Harrison Bottling Works is
another enterprise that deserves the
good trade it is getting, and as each
season rolls round, sees an increas-
ing list of customers. AS manufac-
turcr of soda and mineral waters

The Peoples Bank.

So much do individual enterprise
and commercial progress depend on
banking facilities, that any review
of Harrison would be incomplete
without some mention of this bank
Its career since its inception has been
one of steady progress, due to the
wisdom of its management, whose
policy has always been the middle
course between conservatism and
and liberality, blending both in all
administrative affairs to the encour-
agement of all enterprise This bank
does all business connected with
modern banking.

Harrison Roller Mill Co.

When one considers the amount of
skill and experience represented in the
milling int ere StS, and the fact that
each mill is ambitious to produce the
best flour products, he cannot help
but appreciate the Harrison Roller
Mills, whose productions have justly
earned unqualified praise, and con-
stantiy increa asing patronage, which is
taxing the fullest capacity of the mill
There are but few who have not had
some personal dealings with this COM
pauy, and none have gone away dis
satisfied with the treatment received.
Courteous treatment always wins sue
ce $, and all who have once dealt here,
never fail to return. Under its pres
ent Skillful management, the products
of this mill have won a reputation
that is attained by few.

Harrison Steam Laundry.

There Is really no need to have the
good wife to wear herself out at
the wash-tub while there is a laundry
near that turns out as good work as
does the one operated here by y. {.
Brooks, which has done a remark
ably fine business the past year.
The way to build up and increase

is to support them liberally when
they do as good work as any sent in

what is done by the Harrison Steam

of ali. Mr.. Gordon's pet hobby is the
