i. M. K. CUMMINS. BAKERY. We have no one in our city who has been longer in the Bakery business, and given better satisfaction than Mr. Cummins. We should have said in the county, for his wagon was looked for as regularly as the day, by people in different towns all-over the county the past summer, and we have not heard of a single dissatisfied person. Mr. Cummins is a baker of long experience, and he knows just what it requires to please people. He strives always to suit their tastes. The patronage he receives demonstrates how well he has succeeded.

Cummins is a courteous hard working gentleman and is entitled to the patronage and full confidence of all our people.

E. P. THAYER & CO. BLUE FRONT MEAT MARKET. Strangers coming to our city are frequently taken to the meat market of E. P. Thayer & Co. as it is a place that our citizens are proud of. Mr. Thayer was for a number of years connected with the immense establishment of Armour & Co. at Chicago and gained an experien there that is very valuable to him now in the selection and sal of meats. Mr. Thayer has always carried a very large line of all kinds of meats of he choicest selections. He not only carries a full line of beef of all kinds, but has, pork, veal, mutton, turkeys, geese, ducks, quails, rabbits, butter,, eggs, etc. These are sold at lowest market prices while Mr. Thayer always buys all kinds of country produce at the very highest cash prices. As he sells in New York, he buys at New York prices.

THE GREENFIELD ICE CO.5 Last Spring Joseph Stutsman and Chas. Stutsman his brother, sought to start an ice factory at this point, but met with little encouragement from our citizens. The boys were made of the right kind of stuff however,and were not to be daunted. They erected a plant on the site of the old Cox saw mill, entirely at their own expence, without a penny of assistance from the city. They begun operations immediately and the result was most satisfactory and pleasant to our citizens during the hot summer months, They furnished our people with the purest ice, at lower figures than they ever bought it in their lives. They wagon would make the rounds of the city every morning, and deli ,ered the ice to the people at the small pittance of 30 cents per hundred pounds. Our. people then discovered that it was one of the best things with which they had been blessed, and that no factory in our city had contributed more to their comfort, than the Greenfield Ice Co. These gentleman, together with Mr. J. Buffum, a partner, are among our best citizens and we are glad we have them among us. Mr. Stutsihan is agent for an ice machine and will sell it over the State of Indiana. His machine is the best that is on the market,

J. C. ALEXANDER & CO., HANCOCK FLOURING MILLS. A woman may have the most even temper in the world, yet "there is a point beyond which forbearance ceases to be a virtue." when that point is reached your even tempered woman will get mad. We know of nothing more calculated to ruffle a woman's feeling's, than to be compelled to use bad flour in making bread, pies and all kinds of pastries, especially when she is anticipating guests during the holidays, or at any time. Much bad flour is on the market, consequently, women have great occasion to get out of humor occasionally. The best way in the world to avoid this, is to always buy flour labeled J. C. Alexander & Co.,accept no other and you are safe. Who has heard of a stick of their flour failing to give satisfaction in any particular? No one! The flour manufactured at these mills, always gives satisfaction. The mill is run on the basis of, best goods on the market or none. No musty wheat bought or ground, consequently we know of no mill in the country that gives better satisfaction in its product, than this one. It is run on strict business principles, and is being improved constantly, when improvement is thought to be needed. Nothing is ever allowed to wear out, but it is removed in time, before it damages the product. Every little detail is looked into personally by Mr. Alexander, who for six and oiaehalf years has not failed to be at his post of duty a single morning, until last Tuesday morning, when he started on a visit among brothers and sisters in the West, to take a little much needed rest. There is no better business record in our knowledge, than that shown by Mr. Alexander, always faithful, strictly honest and sociable to the last degree. He is naturally held in the highest esteem by all people with whom he has done business in the past years, and by the public at large. Would that Greenfield had none but just such men as Mr. Alexander. We would have no occasion for courts, and saloon men would go out of business, repent and change their ways. The mills are in the hands of as competent set of workmen as the country affords. Wm. Vaughn is a miller of long experience and one of the best in the State. Wrn. Briney, is a workman of ability and much sterling worth. Wm. Smith the engineer, is second to none, he is one of our best citizens. Samuel Stevens and Samuel Hardin, are each honest, competent and faithful in the discharge of their duty. We should not close without some allusion to the silent member of the firm, Nelson Bradley. Greenfield', can boast of no 'more honored and esteemed citizen. He stands high among men as a thorough business man and as a philanthropist. He is president of the Greenfield Banking company.

THE GREENFIELD NAIL WORKS. Two years ago the Greenfield Nail Works and Rolling Mills were established in our city. The have been a great institution among us and assisted largely in building up our city. What was once a farm is now converted into town lots nnd a large number of fine residences erected thereon inhabited by a happy industrious people who find employment at the Nail Works. The establishment has grown largely and now employs 100 hands. There have also been a large number of self feeding machines which enables them to tnrn out a much larger quantity of Mil%v^htnftiU» turned mt here are

of splendid quality and appearance and are meeting with a ready sale. The demand for the nails in such that although the mills are kept going to their full capacity they can not keep up with their orders. They are now making from 2000 ta 2500 kegs of nails per week. The entiro establishment is lighted and heated and all the machinery run by natural gas. It is a wonderful thing for all manufacturing estaclish i^ents and there should be others here to enjoy the advantages of this gas. The secretary and manager of the Nail Works, Mr. W. C. Whitehead, is a very gentlemanly and competent man and is making a great success of the business. Mr. Frank Nichols is the competent book keeper. The REPUBLICAN wishes the Nail Work.1} abundant success.

J. K. HENBY.

PANHANDLE NURSERIES.

The name of J. K. Henby is as familiar associated with fine fruit, and choice varieties of nursery stock in the minds oif our people as it always belonged there. One seldoms sees, a fine orchard vineyard but he is reminded of Mr. Henby and the efforts he puts iorth. the zeal and tenacity he exhibited, when years ago he trudged, a foot over many of the counties of Indiana portraying to the unfriendly husbandmen the advantages of a gooe selection of large and small fruits. Smiled when the rough old back-woods-man bid him move on, beamed sweetly on him. when he called him a fraud, was gay and high spirited when his aching temple^ were throbbing like a stone bruise, and what is the result, why some of the finest orchards in Indiana are the result. He worked on, he experimeuted, read leading horticultural papers, propagated fruits, and brought out many choice varieties of his own. Just south west of this city at the beautiful new home of Mr. Henby can be seen, "the Panhandle Nurseries." The growth of years of hard work and an unswerving disposition to "get there." Here is kept in stock every conceivable variety of tree, vine, or shrub all growing in quantities of thousands, cared for by careful and experienced horticulturists. If you are contemplatiqg buying any thing for spring setting go and see the Panhandle Nurseries. Mr. Henby is a polite and courteous gentleman and will take great pleasure in showing you about his premises.'',,

M. F. RICKOFF.

PURE DRUGS MEDICINES ETC. A temperence drug store is a rare thing in these days. But of Mr. Rickoff we can say that his store is run striotly on* this principle. He came here sever months age with Mr. Clark from Tipton Indiana arid they purchased the Grose drug store, and continued doing business as a firm until two months ago when Mr. Clark retired from the firm, leaving Mr Rickoff sole proprietor. He is a thorough christian gentleman contributr ing much to the pappiness of others and a strict adherent to the Golden rale. He is a minister in the Christian church and preachea the gospel where-ever he is called to go. Ha is afaithful and zealous church worker. We now call your attention to his large and varied stock of drugs, medicines, chemicals, paints, oils, varnishes, brushes, soaps, perfumes, toilet articles, and all the proprietary medicines. His Pharmacy is complete and prescriptions are always carefully compounded. We beg iieve to call your especial attention just now to his splendid line of holiday goods. He has one of the finest lines of plush goods to be found in the city, also one of the largest lines of the favorites authors in elegant bindings, poems, and gems of literature of all descriptions, family bibles testaments, Sunday school lessons, for 1892 in one volume, what would be more appropriate as a Christmas gift than a pretty volume of some lavorite author or something from Mr. Kiclioffs large stock which we have only been able to partially enumerate. Go and look for yourself through this splendid li« and you will not fail to make a selection that will please you. Prices as low as any place in the city.
