BUSINESS FIRMS-Continued.

C. Hansen. NO more important feature of the trade accomodations of the city is found than the blacksmithing forge at C. Hansen’s shop. Mr Hansen is a practical horse shoer and worker in iron, and has been engaged iu the craft for many years. He learned his trade in J>enmark, and in the old country one is obliged to thoroughly understand his trade and spend many years in study before he can be a jhaster of his handicraft. Five years ago he located in this city, and he conducted his business with such skill as to have developed a very satisfactory trade. His special business is horseshoeingHe understands the delicate condition of a horse’s foot, and can tell at a glance the remedy for crippled feet, interfering or forging, if the fault proceeds from injudicious shoeing or natural causes there can be no better man in town to entrust with their recovery. If Jon want your horse shod proper--7 take him to Hansen’s shop on Front street. General jobbing in iron and wood is attended to, the prices are reasonable. There is a wood working department in connection where old vehicles are overhauled and repaired and new work built to order. Mr. Hansen enjoys an excellent line of patronage and certainly deserves it. For good work and fair treatment give him a call.

Rensselaer Steam Laundry

npHAT modern institution, the steam laundry, bss gained a lied bold on the pnblio<favor and pmtnma/ce, and every progressive etrism unity has its representative lee see engaged in this field of enfcrpriw. This position is occupied m Rensselaer by the Rensselaer Steam laundry, conducted by F. ©L Xsgen who succeeded Porter & Chamber] ain about one year ago. "Bb# plant is located at the junction sf IK. College and Austin avenues and occupies a spacious building htrfM expressly for the business.

Lynn & Parkison.

AN up-to-date news depot is certain to be appreciated in any community. Messrs. Lynn & Parkison, recent successors to Lem Huston, devote their time and attention to this line of mercantile activity. Their store is well ordered and complete for the purposes intended, and a full line of periodicals, illustrated journals, magazines and current literature is carried, as well as the leading Chicago and Indianapolis daily and Sunday papers. They control the local circulation of these dailies and deliver them promptly to all parts of the city. A specially is made of taking subscriptions, at publisher’s rates, for all periodicals. A well selected stock of the best brands of cigars and tobaccos will be found here, and lovers of pure sweets will find here a good assortment of confeotionery to select from. The stock further embraces a complete line of kodaks, cameras and photographic supplies. C. V. Lynn is the manager of the business, and he was formerly a resident of Attica. Ind He is a courteous and attentive young business man, and during his residence here he has won many friends in both business and social circles.

Rensselaer Fuel & Feed Co.

rfIHE trade in coal and wood is one of the important features of the resources of any community. The Rensselaer Fuel & Feed Co. conducted by Messrs. Cox & Branch is the popular headquaiters for these supplies in Rensselaer. Their facilities embrace yards and storage sheds, on W. Cornelia street, where they have on hand a full supply of stove wood and a large stock of anthracite and bituminous coal at the lowest market prioes. All of their coal is received direct from the mines, and is delivered to all parts of the city, wellscreened, quality and quantity being guaranteed. It may not be generally understood, but all coal does not give out the same amount of heat, and when you buy here yon will get the best and most economical grades. In fact Messrs. Cox & Branch have been awarded

the contraot for supplying the county coal, and hauling for the city light and water plant, they furnish many other large consumers because they are in a position to buy the best coal at a closer figure than other local dealers. Here may be found the best brands of flour, corn, oats, chop, baled hay and straw and everything usually found in an np-to.date fuel and feed store. They buy in large quantities direct from first hands and oan quote as low prices as any jobbing house in this part of the country. Ground feed is exchanged for grain. Their delivery service is excellent, and orders for coal, wood or feed left at the office or telephoned from any part of the city, or neighboring towns will be delivered promptly. The members of the oompany are A. L. Branch and J. H. Cox. Mr. Cox, the senior member, conducted the business for many years, and last Jane A. L, Branch, a bustling young man, who for 8 years conducted a similar business at Danville, Ind., bought an interest in the business. Both gentlemen are progressive and prominent merchants in their line.

M. L. Hemphill.

A leading blaoksmitb and wood working shop of the city is conducted by M. L. Hemphill on Ifront street. Mr. Hemphill lih“ been identified with thiabusinenp in Rensselaer for 10 years. ‘ Hoiv «. are shod in an expert manner tr. cording to the formation of t'-o feet, and everything in the line if blacksmithing and iron work is done. The wood working depn iment gives special attention to the

repairing of wagons and casriages. This department is equipped with all the neoessary tools and appliances, and Mr. Hemphill personally superintends all operations, thus insuring only first class work in every respect. In the rear of tbe wagon shop is a well equipped planing mill, containing band saw, lip saw and planer. The plant is operated by a 4 h. p. gas-electric engine. Attention is given to custom work and satisfaction is guaranteed. Mr. Hemphill desires to call the attention of the public to the fact that he is better pre pared than ever for filing saws and grinding edged tools, in fact in the future he intends to give this part of the business marked attention. He will be moderate in his charges and prompt in doing the work. He is too well known to our people to require pny extended comment at our hands. It is sufficient to say that he is a very painstaking mechanic, and an honorable gentleman who enjoys the confidence of those who transact business with them.

Donnelly Brothers.

WORK stands in need of noenlogy. Though all the ages praises and flatteries have been heaped on the man of honest, independent, useful toil. At thesame time those who are refreshed by the golden shower it produces, are not generally the men whose bread is moistened by their own daily sweat and won by the peaceful night of sturdy sinews. The Donnelly Bros., who for a number of years have been carpenters and contrao*ors in this city, furnish a striking and impressive example to the oontrary. These gentlemen learned their trade and worked at it as journemen just as other mechanics do. In 1896 they conceived the idea that if they could do well for others, they might do as well, if not better for themselvee. They started in business in a small way, in a shop located in the rear of the Odd Fellows building. They worked hard day by day, and seeing their hopes realized, their business expanding, they moved to larger quarters in the rear of Glazebrook’s blacksmith shop, and later they bought their present quarters on N. College Ave. at the junction of Austin avenue They arranged their planing mill in a convenient manner, equipped it with improved machinery and appliances, Custom planing and matching, wood turning, and all kinds of mill work is done. A specialty beiug made of store fronts and fixtures, windows and

door frames and screen work. In connection with the mill is a furniture and upholstering department where orders are promptly executed. They also do paper hanging, painting and decorating, tar and gravel roofing. Estimates are cheerfully given and all information furnished, The Donnelly Bros, are hustlers and the success they have attained in their business ventures has justified their foresight and brought them substantial rewards for their courage and enterprise. It will not be suprißing to the public when we state that they have bought Bales Lumber Co. aud took possession last Monday. From now ou, they will cease to be contractors and build ers, and confine their energies to the lumber and planing mill business. The lumber yard will be under the supervision of Wm. Donnelly and F. J, Donnelly will have obarge of the mill. They have indentified themselves fnllv with the commercial and business interests of Rensselaer. Their business training haß developed in them a happy combination of progress which is not reckless and conservatism which is not over-cautious. The result of their new business venture seems to point to but on® thing—success.

A. W. Cleveland, Florist

There is an ethics in flowers that cannot be described. From the days when the lotas was con* ventionalized into Egyptian decorations and the lily formed a part of Biblical lore, or perhaps even from an earlier date, when the Stone Age men tramped the forests dotted with pre-historic anemone, the cultivation of the flower has been signi cant of a tendanoy towards refinement and culture. A oommnnity where taste and culture predominate demands the services of a florist. Aprops to these remarks we mention the greenhouse of A. W. Cleveland located s» the oorner of Park and Main **reets. The business was established by Mr. Cleveland abont 6 . ears ago and has had a very steady "d prosperous growth. About 1 800 square feet is now under (continued on another page,)
