STAR TRANSFER LINE.

In this age of hustle the drayman
is necessary part of our civiliza-
ticn. He is the man who takes our
belongings from one place to an
other, and to fill his mission sue
cossfully he must be a careful per-
son, one who will take better care
OF ones goods than the owner.
Mr.. G. L. Nelson, the proprietor
of the Star Transfer line. is an un-
usually careful man, and since he
went into business some two years
ago, he has made many friends,
and his customers stick by him with
the tenacity of Il mustard plaster.
Mr.. Nelson is a very pleasant
gentleman to meet; he has seen
much of the world, having been a
sailor for eight years, during which
time he visited twenty-one different
countries and sailed on all the
oceans and seas of Importance on

VIENNA RESTAURANT.

Did you ever notice that when
you see a nice restaurant that you
feel like you had hollow space un-
der your belt? You no doubt do,
because we have had that kind of
sensation many times, but tho worst
attack ever, occurred when we
passed the Vienna Restaurant, at
2O3 G street, yesterday. Everything
looked so appetizing that we had to
surrender to our feelings, and fill
up.
The proprietors of the Vienna are
Mr. Ervie Phelps and Mr. Sam Bar
etich, and they are thorough rest
aurant men from the ground up.
They serve regular dinners and also
short orders-that is, you pay for
what you get; but not so at this
restaurant, as one usually gets more
than he pays for. The man who
treats his stomach right is the fell
low who enjoys life, and this will
be the ending if you stand by the
Vienna.

j. G. BUSH, GROCER.

If there is anything which makes
man or woman hungry. it is
neat. well-kept grocery store. In
fact, appearance is everything in
this line of business. Mr.. ]. C.
Bush, who conducts the grocery at
ia West Heron street, was evident
~ cut out for the business. as his
store is very attractive. the stock is
we'll arranged, and his customers
say that the appearance is backed
up by prompt service, and smile
goes with every package.
Mr.. Bush is a young man, and
thinks that Aberdeen is the best
place on earth he is doing good
business, but can take care of new
customers as fast as they come
along. His location is an excellent
one, and we predict for him great
increase in trade as time passes.
The man who will give strict atten-
ton to business cannot help meet
ing with success if he lives west of
the Rockies.

BROADWAY PHARMACY.

which always cut a big figure, are
right, and as a result the firm is en-
joying a large patronage.

because he is the man upon whom
one has to rely as to his accuracy
in hunting up and, placing in regu-

In this world there is consider
able smoke. and when it rolls away
in Aberdeen it will be found that Il
large part of it wGs caused by the
cigars sold by Boettiger Bros. at
their cigar and pool rooms on Her

The firm of Boettigcr Bros. is
composed of two energetic young
business men. who realize that in
this world of strife it is necessary
to let ones light so shine that il
may be seen by all men, and as a
consequence they have a very at
tractive electric sign over their en-
trance, which keeps saying to pas
sers-by, "Smoke," Such sign is a
power in the business, as the law Of
suggestion is one of the strongest
laws known to mankind.

THE HACONA ROOMS.

The name Bacona has history;
it was coined in the postal depart
ment at Washington, ID. c., and
came about in this way: Mr.. Bac-
oEs father was the first postmaster
in a town in Washington county,
Oregon. and when the authorities
name for the postoffice, they sim
ply added the letter "a" to the ne"
pOstmaster's name, and by doing 50
made very pretty sounding word.
The Bacona Rooming House is
located at 119 West Heron street,
across X street from Hotel Wash
ington. and is managed by Mrs. NJ.
NJ Bacon. the wife of the son of the
postmaster referred to. Mrs. Bacon
not only manages her twenty-five
room house with profit, but she
knows a bargain in real estate, and
has been a successful Spectator
along that line. She was formerly
engaged in the millinery business,
but her store was destroyed in tho
big fire. The old adage that mis-
fortunes never come singly was well
illustrated in her case. as she was
burned out twice within ten days.
Mrs. Bacon is a home-maker in
every sense of the word. and a
charming and hospitable hostess
and the nice thing about it all is
that her rates are very reasonable

il. j. GARNIAN.

Nothing succeeds like success,
and that has been the reward re-
ceived by B. j. Garman in his bust
ness venture in this city. In 1889
erdeen, and from that time until
now he has been recognized as one
of the prominent merchants of the
city.
The boot and shoe and gents fur
nishing house is located in the post
office block, at the corner of G and
Market street. The stock he carrie,
is a large one, and, judging from
the number of assistants he en-
plCys, he is doing large business.
In many ways he has a corner on
the shoe market, as he is the sole
agent for the Pingree, the Walk

HARDING n ENGEN.

In the real estate department OF
human effort one finds many active,
energetic and brainy men; in fact,
TO be successful in this line of bust
ness, one must have all the quail
ties which are necessary not only to
conceive but to execute; nay, more,
the power of making other people
see the hidden possibilities of the
future is also required, for without
this faculty, it would be impossible
tunity of making money by invest
ing in a lot or a house and lot, and
waiting for things to come your
way.
When we arrived in Aberdeen
two weeks ago and emerged from
the dining-room of the Hotel Wash
ington, we picked up tooth pick
upon which appeared these words:
For real estate pick Harding & En-
gen" At once we were impressed
with the fact that the firm named
was here for business, and had TAX
en- very novel way of attracting
the new arrival. 1t is just such
little things as this which marks the
ways of an active and intelligent
real estate firm.
We later called upon Messrs.
Harding & Engen and found that
our impression was well founded.
When we entered their office it was
evident that they were thorough
real estate men; the surroundings
and even the general air indicated
that something was doing, and when
we listened to the statement made
by them that the average pay roll
OF Aberdeen was over 81 day for
each man, woman and child in the
city. we realized that they had gone
to the bottom of things and were
prepared to show anyone that 1t
was impossible to buy real estate in
Aberdeen and lose any money on
the deal; but on the contrary, large
profits were as sure as the sun rises
in the East After talking over
the situation we could easily see
that Aberdeen offered better bar
gains in the way of real estate than
any other city on the coast. Up to
this time the city has not been af-
flicted by boom, and the advances
which have been made have been
moderate but sure. Today. the firm
informed us that they had a num-
bel of improved properties where
the rental would pay ten per cent.
on the price asked. Deals of this
kind are better than any other kind
of Investments, because q large in
terest is assured together with an
early increase in valuation.
The firm of Harding & Engen Is
composed of w. c. Harding, who
came from Detroit, Mich, and 0. }.
Ergen, who came from Duluth,
MINI.
From inquiry we learned that the
firm is recognized as one of the lead
ers on the western coast, and since
entering business here many large
deals have been closed through
their office.
A few days ago the firm remov-
ed their offices from the former
location to large and commodiOus
quarters on the ground floor in the
SHIFTS block on West Heron street
This move has become necessary
on account of the volume of bust
ness being transacted.

4. G. MOULTON.

One of the very oldest citizens of
this part of the country is T. c..
Moulton, and from appearance he is
vet young man. 1t will be just 80
years on May 16 that Mr.. Moulton
arrived in what is now Aberdeen,
and took dinner with Mr. Samuel
Benn. who owned and occupied the
orly house here at that time-and
the house didn't have any modern
improvemen in it either. but that
did not prevent Mr. MoultOn taking
advantage of the invitation of Mr..
Benn to take dinner with him.
In the early days referred to, M.
Moulton was in the logging and
cruising business. and made his
headquarters in Olympia. He filed
on a claim seven miles from here.
near the Wishkah river, and later
had tire distinction of buying the
third lot sold in Aberdeen, which
he yet owns. 1t is located on Wish
kah street, near the river. upon
'!pon which is a boarding house oc-
cUpied by a tenant.
Mr. Moulton is one of the public
spirited citizens and is ever ready
to help push a good thing along.
In reference to business, he is in
the furniture line, and has very
handsome and well-selected stock
at his store at sos East Market
street. In fact he has some of the
best goods we have seen on the
coast. His stock consists of car
pets. rugs. linoleum. window shades,
picture frames, stoves and crock
cry. If you want to go to house
keeping or refurnish your present
home. he is in position to fit you
out from cellar to attic.
He also has a nice line of office
furniture, including some elegant
roll top desks And, by the way, if
YOU want to hear something about
the early days, you will find him an
interesting talker.
