The manufacture of wholesome e,,,l

tention is given throughout the entire
country, but ii is doubtful il any other
city of its size could furnish n better
or more complete -four mill than the
Richmond Roller Mills. established
thirty-one years ago in Richmond by
c. G. Carpenter. who is still at the
head of the business
The mills are located at Second and
North c streets, where the first mill
was built in 1861 Following the trend
of the times the roller process was
first introduced by Mr.. Carpenter in
ISs4-5, and in 1890 the mills wers
completely stripped, and an entire new
set of machinery was installed. The
mills today have capacity of 90 bar
rels of -four every "A hours. The plan.
includes not only its original site, but
also the buildings formerly occupied
by Nordyke & Marmon, manufacture
ers of machinery, who have removed
to Indianapolis.
Flour and feed is manufactured
the special brands being "Haxalr'
and Fancy Patent for which there
is strong market demand. The pro.
ducts of the mills are sold throughout
Indiana and Ohio, most of the bust.

RETAIL business is done at the mills.
A corn mill. which is located on
North Twelfth street, is also operated
by Mr.. Carpenter, and there Cream
and Pearl meal. and feed meals are
manufactured. Mr.. ID. w. Marmon OF
Indianapolis is interested in the bust.

Richmond Coal Co.,
A Growing Con- ern
Telephones: Home s41, Bell 10 R.


The Richmond Coal Co, began bust.
ness in Richmf / late in February
this year. Both members of the
firm have had much experience in
the coal business. Both were born
and raised in a min ng district. This
together with the fact that one mem
Der of the firm is connected with one
of the largest mining companies in
West Virginia, gives this new firm
some advantages. The Richmond Coal
Company has never been on a boom
but their business has steadily in
creased. 1t is the intention to mater
tally increase their capital and equip
ment in another year. Their personal
knowledge and close connections with
mines makes it possible for them to
sell the very best coal mined.
The equipments of this yard are
complete, having an extensive patron
age on the Pennsylvania Railroad and
complete telephone connection with
all the surrounding country, making
quick delivery possible and easy. All
orders will receive personal and
prompt attention. The yard of the

JOHN ". GRUBBS co.
WELL KOWN GROCERY FIRM
Established in Richmond in 1872-Has
Extensive Business Over Indiana
and Western Ohio, Selling ExcIu-
siveIy to Retail Trade.

The John W. Grubbs COMPANY OF
wholesale grocers, S31-S33 North E
street, is one of Richmond's old estab-
lished wholesale houses having been
founded in 1872 by the late John w
/ Grubbs, who for many years was
1 prominent in business circles over
the entire state.
! Before entering the wholesale bust.
ness Mr.. Grubbs was engaged in
| newspaper work. He was the founder
and for many years the editor of the
New Castle Courier A successful
newspaper publisher must necessarily
be man of many talents, and it is
seldom indeed that a newspaper man
engages in any other line of business
that he does not make a success
This is true of the late Mr. Grubbs,
who when he entered the wholesale
grocery business applied his entire
time TO it, and gave it his personal at
tention with the result that it soon
took rank as one of the leading whole
sale houses in Eastern Indiana
In entering into competition with
the indianapolis houses and other
h IS over the State, Mr. Grubbs
was highly successful and his COM
pany soon built up business that has
served as a solid foundation to the
great volume of trade now enjoyed
by the company, which has branched
out largely, its patrons being found all
over Eastern Indiana and the western
part of Ohio.
The firm as originally established
consisted of Howard & Grubbs. Later
it became Grubbs & Hicks, and then
Grubbs & Harvey In 1897 it was in
corporated as the John w. Grubbs
Company, Mr.. Grubbs having died sew
eral years prior to its incorporation.
The comp ny now consists of w. F.
Starr, who is president and general
manager, J. Y. Poundstone, vice
president, and treasurer and w. H.
Thornburg, secretary. w. w. Grubbs,
a son of the founder is also interested
He was formerly the vice-president
but i'll health compelled his retire
ment from active work.
The company sells exclusively to the
retail trade. 1t handles a general line
of groceries, dried and canned fruits
and bottled goods. Four travelling
statesmen are kept continually on the
road visiting patrons and opening up
new territory. The company carries
a large stock on hands at all times,
buying direct from the producer and
in car load lots.
Since it's reorganization the com
pany has doubled its business, and
it's volume is now estimated at one
half million dollars year. TT bust
ness of the company is conducted on
a conservative basis which has tended
to increase the reputation of tie COM
pany as one of the most reliable
Wholesale firms in the Hoosier State.
The members of the firm are well
known in Richmond business circles,

dent; j. b. Craighead, the secretary,
has been with the company since its
establishment, and Mr.. Howard A. Dill
the treasurer, is also the general SUI

randef wing to TIE high grade of
work tanned out in the factory. where
all salts OF undertakers' supplies are
made
Watt & Feelor make a speciality
of an automatic opening and closing
couch casket. which is the only casket
of its kind now being used in this
country, Watt & keelor holding the
patent. and being the sole owners and
manufacturers.
Since its Introduction this style of
casket has met with much favor be-
cause of its superior advantages over
the old style casket Undertakers have
found that il gives better satisfaction
and it is handsome and neat in ap-
pearance.
An inspection trip through Watt &
Keelor's factory is interesting and
highly instructive. Over 20 people are
employed and the increase in the bus
mess of the firm may soon make nee
essary more commodious quarters.
The output of the factory is sold all
over the country
The firm. which consists of +. V.
Watt and II. C. Keelor is one of the
best known in the line of undertakers'
supplies in Indiana. Both Messrs.
Watt and Keelor are energetic bust
ness men, who have applied enterprise
to their line of work in such way
as to make their success deserved in
every respect.

Canning Factory Of
H. c. Bullerdick

Richmond has one of the best can
ming factories in Indiana The plant
which is the only one in Richmond. is
the Fl. c. Bullerdick Canning Factory,
which is located on South Fifth street.
1t was established n 1904 as the
Richmond Canning Company Mr. II
lerdick acquired it early in the prese 1T
year. and under his management it
has grown rapidly.
Its principal canned products are
corn, tomatoes and tomato pulp 1t has
capacity of 10000 cans of corn and
tomatoes each, a day, and during the
canning season it is operated at full
carac ty, employing in the neighbor-
hood of fifty people skilled in the art
of canning food products.
The factory is fully equipped with
the latest pattern machinery for put
ting up food products, and hence the
employees are enabled to handle the
products as quickly as they are deliv-
cred by the farmers with whom Mr.
Bullerdick contracts to raise corn and
tomatoes Most of the supply used by
the factory is taken from farmers I'M
der contract, though Mr.. Bullerdick
raises some of it h mself, thus being
enabled to give it his personal atten-
ton from the time it is raised until
it is sealed in the cans.
Cider is also being manufactured, a
large cider press having recently been
installed. Select apples are used for
this, and Mr.. Bullerdick is manufac-
turing grade of cider which is GER
tain to find high favor on the market.
A great deal of the output is sold out
of town.
Especial ate ntion is given to the
sanitary conditions in the factory, and
is one of Mr.. Bullerdick's
notices which is faithfully carried
out by his employees in their work, and
the products canned in the factory are
given the same careful attention that
they would receive in ones kitchen at
home.

A GOOD WATER SYSTEM
CITY is WELL SUPPLIED
Richmond Has Service Far Above the
Average and Water FINISHED is OF
Excellent Qaality-.iosern Nee an.
icei Pisnt.

The w7ter works system of any
city is perha S its most important
utility. Without a good water system
a city is badly hampered in numerous
respects, and one of the first ques-
tions invariably asked by the man
seeking to locate is: What nd of a
water works system have you2'
The Richmond water works system
ranks as one of the best of its size
in the country. The company was in
corporated in 1884 by a number of
prominent business men who felt that
the city required more efficient fiji .
protection than was then afforded by
fire engines and C sterns.
Construction was soon underway
The pumping station was located two
miles east of the city near a small
spring stream. 1t was equipped with
a 100000 Holly-Gaskill pumping en-
CINE, and battery of horizontal tubu.
lar boilers. One mile northeast of the
pump ng station the reservoir is 10
Gated 1t was originally constructed of
puddled clay, the inner sides being
lined with boulders. In 1902 to facili-
tate cleaning a cement bottom was in
stalled, extending up five feet on the
four sides, and the balance of the res
ervoir was built of brick. The reser-
voir is thus modern in every respect
1t has a capacity of 10000 900 gallons
and gives static pressure of seventy
pounds at the center of the city.
A twenty inch. pipe is laid to the
pumping station and a bypass con
meets tn twenty inch main to the
city. Richmond can thus be supplied
direct from the reservoir from the
pumps or from both. The pumps OPP
crate against head of eiehtly pounds
when the reservoir is in service, and
upon call for fire pressure, direct ser
vice is given.
The principal water supply is pro-
cured from infiltration galleries.
These are natural galleries. and have
been extended from time to time as
the consumption demanded, the total
length of the galleries now being
about 1000 feet They are construct
ed with vertical walls of building
stone laid dry, arched with brick laid
in cement. The water entering the gal
leries comes from the surrounding
subsoil of gravel. At present the gal
leries give an approximate flow of
100000 to 100000 gallons day,
connecting directly with the suction
we'll at the pumping station. In 1894
a 100000 Holly-Gaskill pump was in
stalled, alternating in service with
the 100000 gallon pump originally in
stalled, and which is still in excel
lent condition. A second battery of
boilers has also been set up.
The distribution system consists of
a twenty inch main to the city with
branch lines from fourteen to six
inches in diameter. Over three hun
dred Mathews hydrants are in use
and 100 Ludlow valves divide the dis.
