The trained animal circus at the

a veteran Snowman and one OF the
best trainers In the circus world, and
features his wife. Mile Barnes, in
her spectacular act compelling a lion
to mount and ride a galloping pony
around the arena. II Is the only act
Of Its kind in the amusement world.
The circus is equipped with flrst-class
properties, the trainers are among the
best in the business, handsomely cos
TUNED, and present their various
groups of animals in the arena in a
strictly professional way. Martha
Florlne, a little Breton wman and a
childish face, has one Of the most
fascinating acts in the circus. She
works with a group Of Persian leop-
ards, large, handsome, ferocious look
ing beasts, that obey her every ges-
ture and do amazingly clever stunts in
the arena at her command. She has
been twice wounded by another group
of animals, in another circus but like
all professionals OF tnlS Klnu, Sne re-
CARDS this sort of thing as an acci-
dent Of her work and has no thought
of ever changing her occupation. At
the end of each performance at the
Barnes animal show, a very interest

the cage Of an untamable lion. The
show people speak of this act as "the

spectacle. The head
trainer. Edwin Kelly, goes into the
cage Of this great beast, who, is, ac-
cording to the circus people, bad
one, and lodges the charges of the
lion just as trainers do when trying
to break a lion to work in the arena.

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1908-10-04

No longer are there the low frame
structures on Main street which char
acterized the early seventies. Instead
of small stores dealing mostly In mo
tons" and calico, the merchants have
become, with the times, up-to-date.
The department store of the great city
is no more an advance over the form
er shops than are the many depart
ments which have grown up in Rich
mond stores.
Some of the merchants of Richmond
like the industries, had their own
small beginnings in the town years
ago and have kept pace with the town.
AS for the many lines which they car
ry the reader has only to look at the
advertising in this paper and compare
the announcements in the advertising
columns with the days of not many
years ago, to see what an advance
has been made.
Almost all the stores of Richmond
have passed the stage of fifteen years
ago, say, when the proprietor waited
on his customers over the counter.

Richmond Of Yesterday Richmond of Today
ROMANTIC RISE OF COMMERCIAL INTERESTS OF THE CITY

ed of the town ever growing into any
thing were silenced.
This was also the era Of canal build
ing and the struggle for outlets to the
world. The towns merchants sub
scribed $4,000 for canal-but before
the canal was dug, the donation was
used UP and nothing further came of
1t. This was the time of the early 4O's.
START OF MANUFACTURERS.
The beginning of Richmond's mod
ern industrial and manufacturing life
may be said to begin with the founda-
ton of the Spring Foundry by the
Huttons In 1886. This was purchased
in 1889 by the Gaar's and was the
foundation of the great Gaar, Scott
and Co., of the present day.
The small amount of machinery was
run by water power. 1t is significant
of what went on all over Richmond
that we read in the Richmond Indus
trial Magazine" of 1872:
I'm 1854, A. Gaar & Co. introduced
steam power into their establishment,
the water power being no longer suf-
ficient."
The Gaar's were men of great cour-
age and great mechanical genius.
Their enterprise in the early times is
well shown by the extract from the
same Industrial Magazine" of 1872.
when Gaar, Scott & Co. purchased
the Spring Foundry NOW called the
Gaar Machine Works. only one of
them, J. M. Gaar had cent Of cash
capital, and he had but ten dollars.
After much painful deliberstion as to
the use to which that all important
sum should be applied, it was finally
concluded to spend it for coke. Ac-
cordingly four horse team was prop
erly rugged up, hitched to a heavy
draught wagon of the old pattern and
despatched through the mud to Gin
cinnati, distance of seventy miles,
to return in the course of about two
weeks with the fuel, the proceeds of
every cent of money possessed by the
firm, which is worth today at least
$400, 00O." -a
The first threshing machine was a
rude affair and was nick named the
ground hog inasmuch as it was stalk
ed to the ground and did nothing but
knock the grains of wheat still in the
husk from the stalk, so that the chaff
had to be separated by hand. The
separator was introduced few years
later.
F. W. Robinson was another pio-
neer in the same business. He came
here from Baltimore and located here
in 1884 In 1886 we find his name in
the membership of the Carpenters
and Joiner's association, which was
one of the first labor unions in the
state. With Mr.. J. w. Yeo and Mr..
Shoemaker he started the shops which
are still known by his name.
In 1860 the business amounted to

Hagerstown cut 14,250 of the heaviest
logs next to Richmond, and for these
logs was paid sS52,106.
This large sum paid in cash to
farmers in the country surrounding
Richmond, gave an impetus to local
trade and was a fountain that sent a
life giving and sustaining current
through every branch of industry.
The number of mercantile and trad
ing establishments was 100, with a
total capital of $1,445,357, employing
615 persons, and paying $17S,S32 in
wages. and selling goods amounting to
total of s3,97O,35S.

mentions what is now the Starr Piano
Company in terms SO modest that it
is hardly recognizable.

Richmond's Fall Festival calls at
tention to the earlier history of Rich
mond. The pioneer days had their
type of industries and mercantile pur-
suits which were peculiar to that time
and their circumstances. Every visit
or to Richmond's Fall Festival will
see the great strides which have been
made. The Fall Festival itself is .
proof OF the enterprise which has
built up Richmond In its industrial
and mercantile side. Look at the
mond started and then look at the
same thing In the Fall Festival dis
plays.
The pioneer life Of early Richmond
was reflected in its mercantile and in
dustrial pursuits. A backwoods set
Element without roads, save pioneer
trails, was not the place for great en-
terprises.
In the manufacturing line, tanner
les were the first industries, for the
wild animal pelts furnished in many
cases the only currency employed. In
deed there was an extensive trade with
the Indians and 1t is related Of one of
the early merchants that 'Tecumseh
still owed him coon skin in payment
for q gun and ammunition"
The town was started in 1916. and
the tanneries soon followed: A his
torian of the times says:
1.-TWO Of these were established here
In 1918, the first by John Smith for
Joseph Wilmot, an Englishman, the
other by Robert Morrison. Smiths
tan yard was near his dwelling and is
now owned by the Wigginses. Nor
risson's once boosted seventy watts. and
was on Main street, north side between
Main and Green streets"
Most Of the later industries were of
such character as arise in a new COM
munity to give the Inhabitants what
they must use in daily life, such as
blacksmith shops and corn mills.
The early settlers were much elated
at the mills, inasmuch as the nearest
mill was at Germantown, o.. and the
journey through the wilderness was
long and tedious.
The trade was mostly in clothing,
and the absolute necessities which
could not be made at home.
With the outside world the following
is enlightening. A merchant OF the
day says:
IT used to take in eight barrels of
country sugar day. There was an
abundance made here at that time.
yecollect sending much to Kentucky
and Tennessee and exchanging 1t
probably for cotton. once sent three
wagon loads to Lexington, KY.
The population Of the town had
grown from 200 in 1918, to S24 In 1928
The opening of the Cumberland or
National road, came tothe towns as
sistance and Richmond merchants
opened up a trade with the outside
world. The citizens who had despair
