Conducted by John j. Harrington,
Wholesale Dealer Who Has Built
Up Large Trade Throughout
Indiana and Ohio.

Richmond's only wholesale sad
dlery hardware house is conducted by
John J. Harrington, and it is one of
the largest and best stocked saddlery
houses in the State of Indiana.
Mr.. Harrington handles a general
line of harness, horse collars, strap
work, fly nets, robes, blankets, whips,
leather and shoe findings. Within the
past year a line of specialties includ-
ing Iowa farming tools, lawn mowers,
hammocks, gloves, mittens, trunks,
bags and suit cases have been added.
Mr.. Harrington is one of the pio-
neer leather and saddlery merchants
in the state. He engaged in the bust
ness forty-three years ago when he
was small boy, and has been in it
ever since. He was first employed by
the firm of Curme & Dunn, and later
became a member of the firm. With
drawing he engaged in the leather
and finding business and established
for himself in 1878.
For many years his house was To-
Gated at 715 Main street, and for TWEEN
ty years at No. II North Seventh
street. Three years ago he moved in
to the handsome new building which
be now occupies at 1924 North Eighth
street. which Mr.. Harrington built
and equipped especially for the re-
quirements of his business, is three
stories high, and is modern in every
respect-an ideal wholesale house.
There is also large basement which
is utilized.
Mr.. Harrington's trade extends over
Indiana, Western Ohio and Southern
Michigan. Three travelling men are
employed in the interests of the house,
and the concern more than holds its
own in competition with the other
wholesale saddlery houses in the
State.
Mr. Harrington's business is one
which has grown steadily since its os-

The Handsome Buildings

eral Architects-Nctable Residence
Work Done in Richmond.

One of the younger architectural
firms in Richmond which has attracted
much favorable attention as the resul.
of it's work is that of Marlatt & Mans
field, 1913 Colonial building, which
has designed many handsome resi-
dences, and serviceable public build
ings since entering into business in
1903
The firm was origially established
as Mar1att & Dozier, but some time
ago Mr.. Dozier retired to become engi
neer of the City Mill Works. and Mr..
G. w. Mansfield succeeded him III the
partnership. Both Messrs. Marlats and
Mansfield are practical architects of
wide experience. Mr. H. r. Marlatt

chitectural company before entering
into business in Richmond.
Among the numerous residences in
Richmond designed by the firm are
those of Martha E. Parry, Joseph
Smiths home on East Main street.
Bernard Bartell's residence on South

For fifty years the Richmond Bust

of this can be found than in the fact
that large number of her prominent
business men owe their success to the
training received from the able faculty

the present time nearly every place

Advance in Profession
Rapid Progress Made in Undertaking.

ing & Son Well Known

No profession has advanced more
rapidly in the past twenty FIVE years
than undertaking. The modern meth
DDS CT conducting an undertaking es-
tabHshment are so vastly different
from those OF a quarter of century
ago that the one would hardly recog-
nize the other if brought into compe
tition today.
A few generations back the under
takers did practically no work In com.
parison with what they do today.
They made no arrangements in the in
terests of the family of the deceased
whatever. and in fact seldom saw the
body until they went to the house to
conduct the funeral service.
The science of caring for the dead
was in its infancy. and the undertaF.
ers were slow to take up with the new
introductions being made. Embalmy
ing was not in general use. ice being
used as means of preserving bodies
for shipment or if there was any de.
sire TO withhold the funeral services
for few days.
The friends or relatives of the de-
ceased usually did the work of laying
out. and dressing the corps. The I'M
dertaker was notified what size coffin
to procure, and when he did this his
work was for the most part at an end.

riages for the funeral If they were
desired. and accompanied the cortege

methods have brought many changes,

ments for the funeral, even to notify
ing the minister who is desired to con.
duet the service.
The Oldest established undertaking
firm in Richmond is that of n. r,
Downing & Son, 16 North Eighth
street, founded in 1877. and which was
one of the first to adopt the more mod
ern methods now in use.
Mr.. H. r. Downing, who Is now
dead, was one of the charter members
of the Indiana Funeral Director As
ISOLATION, which did much toward al
vancing the profession in Indiana. Al
one time he was honored with the
presidency OF the association. ami his
influence was strongly felt by his CO,
workers. He was also . member OF the
National Association OF Funeral Di'
rectors.
Following the death Of his father In
1896 the business was assumed by Mr..
Harry c. Downing, who has followed
in the lines which were proven so sue
cessful by his father. Mr.. Downing IS
assisted in the work by Theodore
Hunt, who is licensed embalmer. and
graduate of an embalmers school
No undertaking firm In Indiana stands
higher than that of II. r. Downing &
Son, and in the conduct of his profess
sion Mr.. Downing is recognized. as an
able and conscientious man.

by is to watch the latest improve
ments in the various lines and to Sc
cure the agency for the same and to
endeavor to have the best of every
thing. This fact together with the
courteous treatment of it's patrons
has established a business in a few
short years that usually require a
lifetime.
The store as a whole occupies the
unique position in the hardware
world of being the best equipped, best
kept, finest looking store in North
America and it's reputation is ma
tional in this respect.
The store is divided into depart

being separate department and
each department contains a full and
complete line of goods under the fol-
lowing head:

For the past three years this COM

largest amount of field fence sold by
any one dealer in the United States.

ward and crashed through the skylight
or dropped without warning into the
basement.
The elevator, however, did neither Of
these things. Under the guidance of a
chubby, blue-eyed youth, it pursued it's
downward career until it reached the
space between the first and second
floors there it stopped.
At the sight of her fellow passenger
Katherine turned pink with embarrass-
ment. The man had muttered some
thing under his breath and bowed frig-
idly, for, before counting disaster, he
had courted Katharine-apparently it
had amounted to the same thing. They
had parted forever only the evening
before, and the ring she had worn for
three months was at that moment in
Westcott's vest pocket, where he had
thrust 1t savagely at the end of their
quarrel.

"Once it was longer, but gin'rally they

The boy gently discouraged further
conversation by burying himself in his
paper. katherine moved to the end
of the long, leather-covered seat. West
colt, at the extreme other end, stared
gloomily at the wall.
Kathrin looked at her watch; it was
already past luncheon time and she
had been too miserable to eat much
breakfast. Still-she frightened at the
thought-she should not starve, for she
had with her a box Of chocolates she
was taking home to her sisters chill

CUPID IN THE ELEVATOR


GO HE inhabitants were chary of in
trusting themselves to the ele-
vator in Bailey Mansions, for it
was of so unstable character that the
initiated had lost all confidence in it
as a means of transportation.
Katherine, however, was not an in
habitant. In her own home elevators
pursued the even tenor of their way
without vagaries of any sort; so, when
her call on the top floor was completed,
with every reason to expect a swift
and uneventful journey she stepped
confidently into the elevator.
At the fourth floor it stopped to adj

Westcott. Westcott differed from
Katherine in that he entered the cage

of it's treacherous tendencies, but West
colt was that morning in a frame of

HAY FEVER is endemic catarrh.
It is caused by some irritating sub
stance in the atmosphere during the
late summer months. IT is generally
thcuPht that the pollen OF certain weeds
and flowers is the cause of it.
Change of locality seems to the be
only rational cure. The use of Peruna,
however, stimulates the nervous sys-
tenn to resist the effects of the poison
GUS emanations and sometimes carries
the victim through the hay fever sea-
son without an attack of the disease.
A large number OF people rely upon
Peruna for this purpose. Those who
do not find it convenient to change
their location to avoid Hay Fever would
do we'll to give Peruna trial. 1t has
proven of priceless value to many peo-
pie.

cause the vibrations caused by the
continuous pounding are as deranging
to the insects as are the atmospheric
disturbances resulting from electric
fans. Every one should be familiar
with the intensity Of the vibrations
produced by the strings of a piano.
For instance, many persons, no doubt,
have noticed that a loose glass in a
picture frame will buzz when a GER

strength of the sound wave which
causes the I'll fitting glass to hum
