C. II. HUFFMAN.
GROCERIES, FLOUR AND FEED.

There is no branch of business
which is of greater Importance in
any community than that which fur
nishes the people with their food sup
plies and a reliable grocery store is
a necessity in any locality. There
are more than one in Perrysburg but
there are none better known than
that conducted by Mr.. G. H. Huffman
His store is conveniently located in
the heart of the business center of
the village, is well lighted and neatly
arranged and clean and dependable
stock is carried in the selection of
which good judgment has been eXer-
cised and which includes all kinds of
staple and fancy groceries, fine teas,
coffees, spices, canned goods and
table luxuries, butter, eggs, etc, as
well as flour and feed, baled hay and
straw. These are all guaranteed to be
of standard quality and the prices
quoted at Huffman's will be found to
be as low as the lowest. Orders are
carefully filled and delivered and sat
isfaction is guaranteed in all cases.
Mr.. Huffman has been established in
business in Perrysburg ten years. He
is a native of the town, and was
raised and educated here He is wide
awake and enterprising, has hosts of
friends and his success in the past
speaks well for his future prosperity.
Concluding it might be well to add
that Mr.. Huffman expects to move in
to new quarters in the near future
and will occupy the store one door
north of his present place of busi-
ness. The new store will be equipped
with new front, new fixtures and new
and larger stock and will enable him
to better accommodate his many
customers He has also made ar
rangements with Messrs. Munger
Bros, whose reputation for handling
only the best quality Of meats, is of
the best, to deliver Munger Bros.
meats with all grocery deliveries.
This accommodation will doubtless
be appreciated by the public

JAMES COOK.
LIVERY, FEED AND SALE STABLE.

Although by no means the largest
establishment of its kind in Perrys-
burg or vicinity, yet the livery stable
conducted by Mr.. James Cook Is de-
serving of more than ordinary men,
tion at our hands, first, because 1t
IS the oldest established, second be-
cause it is the best built and third
because the service offered is prompt
and efficient and the turnouts pro-
cured here are kept in first-class con
dition and are let to responsible part
les at very reasonable prices. Mr..
Cook has conducted a livery stable
in Perrysburg forty years. In 1907
he built the new brick stable he now
occupies, moved in, January 1908, and
added to his equipment which today
is complete in every detail. A num-
ber of good driving horses with sty-
lish well kept vehicles are kept for
hire at popular prices, horses are
taken to board and are well looked
after, and every effort is made to
please and satisfy each and every
customer. Carriages are also furnish
ed for funerals, weddings and extra
occasions. Phone orders receiving

HORSE SHoElNG AND GENERAL
REPAIRING.

That not few valuable horses
have been spoiled by improper shoe
ing Is a fact that no well informed
person will deny and that hundreds
of animals have gone lame and had
to be taken off the road for a long
or short time simply because the
man who shod him didn't know his
business is also a well understood
fact, so that no horse owner can af-
ford to let every body who claims
to be a practical horse shoer attend
to his horse until he has satisfied
himself that the job will be properly
done. In this connection few words
concerning MIR. Robert Steckles,
horse shoer and general blacksmith
cannot but interest many readers
This gentleman has had 20 years of
experience as a horse shoer and COM
menced business in Perrysburg. z
years ago and from the first has
demonstrated that he knows his busi
ness from A. to u. His shop is
equipped with forges and all neces
sary tools and appliances, etc. Par
ticular attention is paid to shoeing
lame, interfering, over-reaching and
tender footed animals. Carriage and
wagon work, woodwork and general
repairing, is also done at short no.
tice and at very reasonable prices
Mr.. Steckles personally is well known
throughout Perrysburg and vicinity
He is a conscientious business man
and is personally very popular.

A. c. FULLER
DRY GOODS, CLOTHING, HATS
SHOES, ETC.

The enterprise conducted by Mr.
A C. Fuller is worthy of more than
ordinary mention in this review of
Perrysburg and her commercial en-
telprises. First, because it is of long
standing and second, because it is now
and long has been one of the most
reliable doing business in the village.
1t was established over thirty years
ago and by enterprising business
methods, coupled with handling the
best goods the market affords and
quoting reasonable prices, the busi-
ness steadily increased from the start
until today it is the largest establish
ment of its kind in Perrysburg or
vicinity. The premises occupied in
clude two floors of building 24x100
feet in dimensions are well lighted
and artistically arranged and are
thoroughly stocked at all times with
all kinds of dry goods, dress goods,
ladies' and mems furnishings, cloth
ing. carpets, hats, shoes and a
thousand and one articles two numer
ou1 to itimiZe and which must be
seen to be appreciated. Mr. Fuller's
connections with manufacturers and
iCbLers are of strictly first class
character and as he is a close buyer,
and buys for cash he is always in a
position to meet the closest competi
tion. He allows no old style or shop
worn goods to accumulate and will
not be undersold. This is one of the
reasons of his success. Personally
he is a gentleman in whom every con
fiGence can be placed and enjoys the
gooG will of his business associates
ana of the community in general.

ART THORNTON.
BAKER,.

There is no department of business
where greater care should be exer-
c1sed than in the production of bread
stuffs and bakery supplies and a re.
liable bakery is of the utmost i'm
portance in any community. Such
have we in Perrysburg in the estab-
lishment conducted by Art Thornton.
Mr.. Thornton is thoroughly exper-
fenced in all branches of his business
and personally supervises its every
detail. He does all his own baking,
using only the best quality of flour,
butter, eggs, sugar and other sup
plies and his productions are in
steady demand by the best families
OF Perrysburg and vicinity, and are

HARDWARE, PLUMBING, ETC.

The hardware trade is one of the
greatest Importance in any commun-
fly, no matter what it's size may be,
in Perrysburg as in any other place
of its size in the state and in this
connection a few words concerning
the establishment conducted by Mr..
] J. Anon cannot but interest many
OF the Perrysburg Journal readers.
The business was established in
1892. and from the first Mr.. Anon
has enjoyed a lucrative and steadily
increasing patronage. The premises
occupied are large, are fitted up with
a view to conductino the business to
the best advantage and are thorough
ly stocked at all times with all
kinds of heavy and shelf hardware,
mechanics tools, cutlery, stoves, tin
and agate ware, farming tools,
paints and oils and a thousand and
one articles too numerous to itemize
and which must be seen to be ap-
preciated. Mr.. Amon's motto has al
ways been honest goods at honest
prices" He is a capable buyer, takes
advantage of discounts and is al
ways in a position to meet the clos
est competition. He also devotes
himself to plumbing, gas fitting. tin
and sheet metal work and has botl
the facilities and the men to enable
him to fill orders promptly and at
