Now in many place, the clerks In
one department are more In number
than the clerks with which the store
started. To show the growth OF Rich
mond's mercantile trade Is but to
show the growth of Richmond.
Take the block between Eighth and
Ninth streets in the year 1860. On
the north side of the street were frame
residences. There was a house where
the Hittle block now stands and on
the other corner where the Vaughan
block is now, was the old Meredith or
fremont hotel.
On the south side of the street there
were buildings low and unsubstantial.
The sky line was about the same
height as that on Main street In Gen.
terville but not so pleasing. Each
store had a hitching rack in front of
it and awnings stretched on wooden
frames covered the side walk.

per cant or to $4,000.
COMING OF RAILROAD.
The thing which really turned Rich
mond into the trading center and man.
ufacturing place it now is, was the
coming OF the Eaton and Richmond
Hamilton, Ohio in the year 1853. We
quote again from the Richmond Indus
trial Magazine.
From that time forward, the pro-
gress of the manufactures in this city
was without a precedent in Indiana.
Easy and quick communication being
afforded with Cincinnati, it was not
long until the amazing development
of Richmond and the country west of
it superinduced the building of other
railways including the C.. c. & I. C..
and the C. & G. E.
"The Richmond manufacturers, thus
provided with outlets to all parts of
the United States, soon pushed their
wares into all the great markets and
were among the most successful in
contesting for premiums at agricul-
tural and industrial expeditions"
RICHMOND IN 1H7.
There are the conditions of 1857 as
set forth by DR.. Plummer In the front
of the first Richmond directory pub
lished by Holloway and Davis, who
we're for forty years the publishers Of
the Richmond Palladium:
"a little upwards of fifty years ago
where nettles and grass arising from
mellow vegetable mold, grew to a
height sufficient to hide a horse, there
now stands busy and thriving popu-
lation Of more than 5000 inhabitants,
dwelling in substantial brick build
ings.
THE gas works were built in 1855
and gas supplied to the city on Main
and Fifth streets in the same year.
Pipes are now laid on Main, Franklin,
Fifth, Pearl, Sixth, Seventh and
Spring streets.
Our banks are: A branch of the
State bank begun in 1884, the Citizens
bank in 1852, the Wayne county bank
(afterward Peoples bank) in 1853 and
branch of the bank of the State of In
diana in 1857 all on the north side of
Main street The Citizens banking
house Is among the most splendid
buildings in the city.
I'm the vicinity of Richmond we
have % FIGURING mills, "a saw mills,
oil mill, 2 paper mills and large num-
Der of wooden factories" We add, al
SO extensive nurseries a Horticultural
establishment, 2 sash, blind, door and

The war of the rebellion put a
crimp in all business life, so that 1t is
only toward 1870 that it revived and
then came the panic of 1873.
Chambers encyclopedia of 1870 gives
picture of Richmond as it appear
ed to the outside world:
Richmond the focus of six rail-
roads. The river gives water power
to cotton, wool. flour and several ex-
tensive implement factories. Rich
mond has brick trade with a fertile
and populous country, fifteen churches
and five newspapers. Population 1850,
6,603 and 9,445 in 1870.
But coming to local authorities. we
find that 1t was in reality the begin
ming of Richmond's tremendous activ-
tiles In the implement business. The
fertile land lying round about, assured
the manufacturers of local trade and
national trade was pushing over the
six railroads.
A local historian mentions what he
considers great industry, that of the
Empire Pillow shop, run by S. Horney
& Co.. as follows:
THE main building of this great
pillow shop is $50 feet long by so wide
| and blacksmith shop 76 feet long by
| 30 feet wide. 1t employs 33 hands and
manufactures 80 plows per day"
| Others in the plow business at this
time were Oran Perry and D. 8. Ho,
ney. At any rate they turned out 10.
600 plows every year.
FIRST COMMERCIAL BODY.
The forerunner of the Commercial
Club OF Richmond, was the "Rich
mond Board of Trade. 1t was organ
lied In 1869 and died and was revived
| in 1874. The president was ]. F. Hib
berd, Andrew Scott served as vice
president and Glenn Ferguson was
treasurer.
In 1915 the Board of Trade pub
, lished report showing the attractive
points of Richmond and containing an
incomplete report of the state of man
ufactures and mercantile life 1t
reads:
THE whole number of manufacture
ing establishments in Richmond is
127, with an aggregate capital in real
and personal property of S1,S07, 1855,
consuming raw material Of the value
Of $795,7S4, of which Indiana has fur
nished $303,465; employed 1907
hands, paid wages to the amount of
$654,459, and sold goods valued at
s2,729,346
There are eight establishments in
Richmond more or less engaged in the
manufacture of agricultural imple-
ments, but no one of them is engaged
in that business exclusively.
Among the leading products are
1862 threshers, 234 portable engines,
140 horsepowers, $500 plows, 5000
pairs Of names, sorghum mills, evap-
orators, etc.
Merchants and traders generally in
Richmond, did a satisfactory business
| during the year 1874. The panic of
1873 made marked impression on
business in all branches, but no fail
| ures occurred, and it's depressing in
| fiuence had largely faded before the
| opening of the season following.

| heaviest logs in the United States and

would be to induce exploitation,
manipulation and the use of assets of
