The "Furniture Worker," a magazine dt voted to the interests of furniture manufacturers has thito say of Showers Bros, of our city : "We were greatly surprised when we were shown through the large factory of Showers Bros., of Bloomington, Ind. Their factory is situated on seven acres of ground. They have fifty-six thousand square feet ot floor room, and for conven
ience cannot be excelled. Their immeuse dry-houses, of the latest patents, give them unlimited facilities for drvine stock. Thev have
side-tracks running through tbeir immense lumber yards, packing rooms, etc. All furniture is loaded on oars set on their own side track tor that purpose. Whep we look back at the past and stop to think
that but twel e years ago these gentlemen started with a capital of less
! than one thousand dollars, we won
der and are lost in amazement. But
the mystery was soon explained. There was no go on, boys, with
them: but instead, come on, boys,
and let us see who will get there
nrst, is their motto. ihey are
crowded with orders, and something
strange ih, that right in the midst
of the dull months they were five weeks behind with their orders, and running on extra time, By the
books of this firm we see that they
have shipped, in the eight months
just past, 30,dla bedsteads, and
8.678 bureaus, dressers, and wash-
stands. We tbink the little city
ot Bloomington very fortunate in
having the wide awake and enter
prising Showers Bros, as citizens.

much dependence upon irrigation

Indiana farmers. Plow deep and
often.
