HENRI Y THIELE.
Restaurant.

The medical profession the world
over recognize and recommend the
use of liquor or beer in moderation
because of their established tonic
properties and general medicinal
qualities. The facilities maintained by
Henry Thiele, in Sykesville, enable
the people of the surrounding section
to secure their needs in liquors, wines,
cordials, and in bottled and draught
beer from productions of established
merit in age and purity, and, there
fore, excellently adapted for family
uses. Because of these facilities, as
well as of the promptness and rel1a-
bilitv of the service rendered, nice
buiness is done in jug and bottled
goods. and an established patronage
IS enioved which includes many OF
the best people of this section VINO
are convinced of the stimulating and
health giving properties to be, found
in a glass of wine, liquor or beer.
Henry Thiele began business IN
Sykesville sixteen years. ago, coming
from Baltimore, where he had resld-
ed and done business for many years
Durino his career here he has always
conducted his establishment IN
strictly business like manner, giving
no announcement to those addicted

center. the establishment, owned and con-
Quoted by E. M. Mellor, continues to re-
snond to the needs of the inhabitants OF
this section for food and clothing with
a large and select stock equipment and
with a prompt and reliable service n
native of Carroll county, E. M. Mellor'
when scarcely fourteen years OF age Sc
cured employment in local establish
nent, and possessing natural aptitude
for merchandising, became in time sue
cessful salesman and built up a large
following. Ambitious and energetic to
make and do for himself, and with the
few dollars saved from his meagre wages
of previous years, he, in 1879, rented
store room, and with a small stock EN-
barked in business. AS the months rolled
bv his efforts were substantially reward
ed by both increasing sales and patron
age, stocks increased, and it was not long
before an established trade was secured,
and the business became permanent and
popular enterprise. Today the establish
ment occupies three store rooms and re-
Gently an addition was constructed, 33x5o
feet in dimension, which will be devoted
to the clothing and furnishing goods de-
partments, but which at the present writ
ing is crowded with complete lines OF
toys and novelty goods for the Christmas
season. In his store quarters, Mr.. Mel
lor carries full and complete lines OF
dress goods, dry goods, notions, ladies'
and gents furnishing goods, complete
collection of the best makes in variety
of prices of ladies', mems and children's

food, etc. All these stocks are bought
with care and with the experience ac-
quired during a lifetime in handling the
productions of nearly all the leading
makers of the country. They are the
best that can be secured for the money,
and as such are guaranteed to patrons
During his entire career the element OF
reliability has been the feature of E: M
Mellor's trade relations, and with him,
as with others, reliability and business
ability combined, build UP successful
business and maintain unexcelled mar
ket conditions. E. M. Mellor is ma
tive of Carroll county, and, as has been
seen, has spent a lifetime in daily asso-
citation with its people as merchant He
has been postmaster and is now serving
his third term as Mayor. He is among
the representative and reliable business
men and citizens of this section, and in
his official and private capacity has made
use of every opportunity and co-operated
with others on every measure or propo-
sition tending TO add to Sykesville's al
ready enviable popularity as trade CEN
ter
The growth of E. M Mellor's store is
reflected in Sykesville's commercial de-
velopment, for in this respect it has al.
ways been pronounced contributing

fdence that attaches to reliable methods
