paved street, was a small wooden place almost a shanty, which was the then store of George Knollenberg. Next to it was Peeles dye shop. Then came Alfred John' grocery and farther down Dell's insurance office. A little old woman named Sinnex kept a small toy shop and a mau named Zimmer kept a candy store.
All tbese stores were In low wooden or decrepit brick buildings,-doing- altogether but a few thousand dollars worth of business. Look now. Richmond's merchants are well housed in modern stores of many- departments and do business agsregathis millions. That is Richmond's mercantile progress. Nor is this all. In the wholesate department such firms as Pog le and Miller, Jones Hardware company and
distributers in Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio. Each firm has had its small ba?;in-
! ning and now all of them are well
known throughout the rr'dd!e west. Their yearly sales swell the total of Richmond's mercantile business to an enormous figure. THE PRESENT TIME. Since 1874 the industrial -history of Richmond has been of steady growth along many lines. No artificial means have been used to promote growth and consequently there haa been no "boom." K there has been no boom there has bcsxi steady growth and few failures and in comparison with ether communities no strikes. In most cases the growth of the town is the growth of the industry. Richmond has many factories producing so diversified things as furniture, chairs, chandeliers, art brass, overalls, shirts, caskets, safety gates,' lawn mowers, chains, hames, buggies, car-

rfages, flour, paper, fences, hats, threshing machines, engines, clover iul'.ers, drills of all kinds, corn planters, tools and pianos and automobiles. These do not in any way represent the whole field. Each plant has many specialties and a book might well be devoted to each concern. Compare the Hoosier Drill of the fifties with the Hocsier Drill of today. J. M. Westcott's great enterprise
had small beginnings, j The first Hoosier wheat drill was j made in lSuG in a small building at' Milton, Ind., the power for which was
en old gray horse. In 1S73 the business was moved to Richmond, and from that date up to the present time, substantial improvements have been made eac'.i year. The main buildings now extend from 13th-and North E streets eat 531 feet, three Etories and basement. Only recently, or durinx the last eiKhtean months,
large additions have been made to
this, plant. The floor space occupied by this concern now is approximately eight acres, not including the large building formerly occupied by the Westcott "Carriage Co., which has a floor space cf three and three quarter acres. Th-3 entire factory throughout is furnished with the most modern and best machinery known for the mnnv.facturc of their class of goods. The entlro plant is also provided with nn extensive appliance for protection against fire. In March, 1903, the Hoosier Drill Co., marge d with the American Seeding Machine Co", together with other similar concerns manufacturing the same line of goods. In July last the
V ' till. WW., U. Ul I40(VI1J V. IUV American Seeding Machine Co., was transferred- to Richmond, and the Empire Drill Co., a division formerly located at Short -.ville, N. Y., is now being merged with this division of the company here. When everything is in running order, a-? it will be in the course of the next ten days or two weeks, this concern hopes to give employment to between 500 and 600 men. The Hoosier Drill Co., alone manufactures over 500 styles and sizes of drills, seeders and corn planting tools. With their additional facilities and increased floor space, and with the merging of the other two divisions of the company here, this branch of the company as stated, will be the largest exclusive manufacturers in their line in the world. The company is engaged in the manufacture of seeding machines and corn planting tools exclusively, and its product is found in every civilized country where machines of this type are used. To keep up the comparison and show the great growth of the manufacturing business since the 70's. take the Starr Piano Works. In 1872 the nucleus of the Starr Jiano Co. was established in a building formerly used as a woolen mill. The Whitewater river furnished power and it was not until several years later that the pay roll numbered fifty. The present output for one week would have been an enormous undertaking for the entire year at that time. Year after year additions in factory space have been made, finally resulting in the present plant. In 1893 the company wag incorporated, instilling new blood and giving added impetus to the advancement. The present plant occupies ap
proximately thirty-five acres, principally devoted to the storing and drying of lumber. Over three million feet of lumber is now standing In these yard3 and dry kilnrare accommodating some seven hundred and fifty thousand more. The buildings number in all, twenty, offering almost fifteen acres of floor space. These facilities allow an averake output of one piano every fifteen minutes. This week's pay roll including the distributing points, reached over five hundred men. To take care of this enormous output warerooms are operated at Dayton, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Richmond, Toledo, Lima, Springfield, Akron, Cleveland, Detroit, St. Louis. Nashville. Chattanooga, Birmingham, Montgomery. Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antonio. The small beginnings of the Robinson Machine Works in 1842 to Its
present greatness, is simply another
chapter in Richmond's growth. It now has several acres of floor space In Its ten huge buildings and employs between two and three hundred laborers. The factory turns out about five hundred engines and machines each year, valued at about half a million dollars. The Gaar-Scott Company furnishes a striking example of what development is going on. From its start in 1836 in the old Spring foundry, Its growth from a small factory which
was run by water power, to the enor
mous plant of many buildings, each many times hundreds of times larger; and from the time when It was only known in this county, to Its world
wide reputation this is a commentary on Richmond activity. The Gaar, Scott company Is the oldest manufacturer of threshing ma
chines in the country. Its output is
now about eight hundred engines and
nine hundred threshers per year. It
furnishes employment to over a thousand men including its field forces and
office men. There are according to the United States census of 1905 one hundred and ninety eight manufacturing establishments in Richmond with a total capital of about $6,000,000 and paying out a million and a half dollars In wages to three thousand men. The value of the yearly products is about Beven million dollars.
THE SCOURING RUSH.
A Queer Plant That Can Be Changed Into a Mineral. ' The scouring rash. Equlserum hitmale, Is an Interesting plant which has been put to practical use. In old time Its hollow, flinty stems were In great repute for kitchen cleaning purpose. The stems are hollow and are easily separated at the joints. If one would satisfy himself as to the peculiar property that first suggested the nse of tola rush for scouring purposes he has only to draw a joint acroes the edge of his teeth to find It like a filer A very pretty chemical experiment Is frequently made with the. rush. . If one takes a small vtal of nitric acid into which any ordinary , lead Is immersed be will quickly see it dissolve, literally eaten up by the. acid. But what does the scouring rush do under such circumstances ? Immediately upon its Introduction to the acid the sizzling process begins. The green pulp of the stem Is gradually oonsumed, the tube, however, still retaining Its shape, becoming paler and paler la color until after a few hours the specimen Is transformed Into a pure white alabaster-like column which defies any further attack from the acid. On taking It from the rial and washing it carefully la running water the operator holds in his hands a beautiful tube of pure, glassy flint, or silex, an object of great microscopic beauty of construction. The scouring rush Is no longer a vegetable, but a mineral, and in observing its skeleton of stone the secret of its utility as a scouring brush is easily understood.

Whits Sox Will Train With Lacrosse. The Canadian game of lacrosse will form a part of the White Sox training programme next season, according to an announcement made by President Charles A. Comiskey of the Chicago Americans. The old Roman has watched the old Indian game .closely for several years and has taken such an Interest in it he presented the three Chicago teams with the Comiskey cup. emblematic of the championship. Comiskey has decided that the game will be an excellent exercise to get the kinks out of his men and put them in shape for playing baseball after their long' rest during the winter. Accordingly when the Sox leave on their trip next spring they will be equipped with the paraphernalia used, and it is likely one of the Chicago lacrosse stars will be taken along to coach them.

The Conductor Carries More Deeu ments Than a Congressman. Countries may be known by their street cars. The rush and jar of our big cities are exemplified in the rapid, rude transit of its Inhabitants. So the character of orderly little Holland may be gathered from observation of her car service. Says J. U. Hlginbotham In "Three Weeks hi Holland and Belgium:" ,' Street car fare In Holland Is S cents a trip, and for 4 cents you receive a return ticket The conductor carries more documents than a congressman. For every fare he opens an aluminium box about 4 by 6 and bands out s receipt or a return ticket, as the case may be. ' When the passengers pay their tickets he places the tickets In a leather pouch hung by a strap round his neck. It is Important that you retain the receipt given you, for at uncertain Intervals a "control leur" gets on the car and examines sll receipts, puts his O. K- on them with a rubber stamp and compares the result with the manifest or log carried by the conductor. It is quite the correct thing to tip the conductor with a Dutch cent or two. Each car has a card Inside stating how many places there are, and on each platform Is another saying how many people may stand thereon. When the seats and both platforms are full the sign Tor Is put up and no more ' are permitted to get aboard. Our car probably had thirty people In It and on the platforms and was turning business away at every crossing.
