Buchanan-Lyon Company, OF
CampbeIIsvilIe, a Great
Success.
People From All The Adjoining
Counties Visit The Emporium,
Making Large Purchases.
A SUCCESS IN EVERY PARTICULAR

Last Friday afternoon representa-
tive of the News, in Company with Mr..
j. o. Russell, visited Campbellsville.
In short time after our arrival we
learned that the talk of the week had
been the opening of the large wholesale
and retail establishment of the Buchan-
an-Lyon Company, the immense daily
sales, the prizes awarded, and operators
from distance who had been in at.
tendance, demonstrating their various
wares.
The News man visited the establish
ment and was conducted through the
various departments by Mr.. R. j. Lyon,
one of the proprietors, and he was as
tonished at the amount of stock on ex-
hibition. If strung out there would be
at least two acres of handsome buggies,
and durable wagons, made by the best
of manufacturers, and all kinds of
farming implements three hun
dred buggies and surries and one hum
dred and fifty wagons. This line of
goods is being sold constantly, men in
the yard from early morning until late
in the afternoon, putting the vehicles
together, making them ready to be
transferred to the homes of the owners.
1t is beautiful sight to visit this de-
partment, see how handsomely the We
hicles are kept and how readily they
are being sold. This is evidently the
largest buggy, wagon and implement
establishment in the Green river section
of Kentucky-from its loca ton down to
and including Bowling Green. The vast
trade this firm enjoys is due to living
prices and fair dealing. If you order
goods from The Buchanan-Lyon Compa-
ny the shipment will be made at as low
figures as had you been present to close
the deal.
THE HARDWARE DEPARTMENT.
The cases in which this line of goods
are kept cost over seven hundred dol
lars, and are exceedingly handsome,
hardwood finish. Every article has it's
place, a sample in view, hence no time
is lost when an article is desired. 1t is
the most systematically arranged de-
partment we ever had the pleasure of
seeing. There is not an article in the
hardware line, but is kept by this firm
When your wish is made known you do
not hear I'VE are just out, but / can
order it for you A hand goes up and
the article is presented. The people of
Campbellsville are justly proud of this
store, and the proprietors merit every
good word that is being said, and they
are also entitled to the large amolnt of
business they are doing. They also
handle range stove, one of the best
that is made, and which is being sold
for ten dollars less money than any
other like cook stove handled in this
country. 1t would take up too much
space to particularize, hence we will
say that it is the most complete line OF
hardware ever presented in a town the
size of Campbellsville-say two. thous
and inhabitants. 1t would be az credit
to some of our larger cities.
THE MAJESTIC PAINT.
One end of the main room is filled
with this brand of paint, said to be the
most durable now on the market, leav
ing a finish unsurpassed by any othel
make. From the way it is now leaving
the store, we Judge that it will soon b
| in general use throughout Taylor ant
adjoining counties.
