Hampton, June A. The hopes thar
have been INDUCED 10y many Hampton
people for several years past, for an
interurban railroad thru this CITY.
northeast and southwest, and having
Charles City as dts northern terminus,
and possibly BOWS or some other place
beyond there for a connection with
other roads, have Just received new
impetus by the visit to this place Of
a party OF Charles City capitalists.
who were here Tor the avowed pur-
pose Of looking over the route and
sounding Hampton people as to their
desires in the matter.
The party included G. W. Hart, n.
E. Bennett, A. J. Graves, and J. p.
Gregg, the first named gentleman be-
ing the senior member Of the Hart
Parr gasoline engine works Of that
city. The gentlemen came across coun-
try and were thus able to form good
idea Of the possibilities of an inter
urban line in the territory traversed.
It is declared that capitalists Of
Charles CITY are sure to construct a
road from that place to some point this
way and perhaps the road would be
continued on southwest. Tho road is
to be known as the Charles city &.
Western and 1t Is the intention to op-
crate gasoline motor cars over 1t.
If the promoters Of this fine are look
~l-kk "a
that is not already well served by
other lines. and at the same time IS
good farming country and sure to. in
better than at present, and support
dense population. 1t seems that line
straight thru from Charles City to
Webster City would DO hard to beat.
The advantages Of an interurban in
the territory proposed may well be-
understood when it Is stated that towns
that would b served by this line. and
which are only twenty miles from
Hampton, are as far away, measured in
the number of hours necessary to reach
them by existing railroads, as Du-
buque, Fort Dodge, or places three
times as far distant.
Several surveys have been made for
this road. but the splendid railroad
facilities that exist here in every direc-
ton, except in the way this road would
serve, are said to have looked good to
the Charles City gentlemen. I
The members OF the party were 4
guests Of Mayor Parks while in the
city. Mr.. Parks Is also secretary Of
the Hampton Commercial Association
and lent them every assistance pos
sible Mr. Parks and members Of the
will not fail to do all in
their power to secure Tor Hampton
this much needed interurban road.

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-02-14

The older residents of Tacoma will remember the
unpretentous music store opened 9th street. just
below Pacific avenue, by Mr. d. S. Johnston, In 1887,
and conducted continuously by him under the name
of the ID. S. Johnston Company removing at inter-
walls from store to another the business grew
and necessitated larger quarters until the present
building erected especially for the Johnston
House several years ago.
From the beginning the policy of the business was
to put piano selling strictly commercial basis,
the object being to do "quick sales'' and CORE
spondingly ''smaller profits business, believing in
the theory that larger number of sales at smaller
profit per piano better than to sell only few
pianos each month at exorbitant prices Under Mr.
Johnston's administration the business grew and
prospered until he sought retirement from active
business life when the Johnston Company was
merged with the Eilers interests.
The rise of the Eilers and fame the Pa
cifc Coast has been unprecedented in the history of
piano selling in the United States Mr. Henry j. Eli
ers commenced business in Portland about twelve
years ago. With but little money, but equipped with
untiring energy and indomnitable WILL and withal
possessing keen eyesight into the piano situation
from commercial standpoint, Mr.. Eilers is today
the principal owner of the largest chain of piano
stores operating under single head in the United
States Statistics have shown that for the past few
years the business of the Elers Houses has amount
ed to little than 81 per cent of the retail pi
ano trade of the Pacific Coast.
