T«RRK-HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING FEBRUARY 24, WW.
TKRRE-HA UTS PLO W FACTOR Y.
This popular manufactory which haa now been in successful operation almost four years, is not only an honor to our city and the enterprising proprietor, Mr. Philip Newhart, bu it is f.st becoming recognized as a necessity, among the entire farming community The most obtnse may see at a glance the iny advantages to be gained by pationlzlng home manufactories, and especially those that give better satisfaction than establishments abroad. Mr. Newnart's make of plows, have been, time and again, subjected to the severest tests with the satue unvarying results, satisfaction. They took the first premium at the Indiana State Fair in 1867 and have since taken premiums in various surrounding county fairs The very best steel soinbined with the uiost substantial seasoned timber cannot fail to make the strongest and most lasting plows. Newhart's plows are made from such material. The fol lowing are some of the patterns made single and double shovels ol the most convenient patterns Nos. 1, and 2 onto horse bar plows Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6, two horse plows. Then there are sod plows prairie breaking plows, and large plows for constructing railroads, which can be id to order. A large number of hands are employed, and as high as three or four thousand plows per annum are made. Every farmer in this vicinity can testify to the fact that these plows are superior to those made at other mnnufactories in the state and no one doubts that the time is fast approaching when those manufactured at the Terre-Haute Plow Factory will be be apprecinted and greatly sought all over this portion of the country,
We look upon this establishment as one of the important manufactories of the future one which will continue to grow in size and importance, and by the energy and diligence displayed by Mr. Newhart, there is no reason why it may not, at an early day rival the most important establishments of the kind in the country. Remember the location, First street, between Main and Ohio. "j
Fine feathers make fine birds," therefore, all who would be birds, men and boys, we refer to, should lay ofi" their old winter suits and secure anew outfit at Erlanger A Co.'s, middle room of Opera House building. This wideawake firm has already commenced receiving the finest and best assortment of spring piece goods, men's furnish ing goods, besides au immense stock of ready made goods, the largest we have ever seen displayed in this city. They make shirts perfectly fitting, of various styles.

Mrs. McFlinnigin says that she has a new and costly dwelling which would look as incomplete as a mouse without a tail if each room was not furnished with one of Moore A Haggerty's fine marbleized mantels with grates to match. Those mantels aro even more beautiful than they can be represented to be. If you do not believe it, a call will convince you.
A few more of those winter suits can be had at the lowest notch at 118 Main street. In a tew more days Kuppenheimer's shelvos and counters will dis play all tho beauty and attractiveness that can be concentrated in men's and boys' suits, and he will sell as low as the lowest. For good oargains, go to Kuppenheimer.
All cltisenB who believe In quick sales and small profits in all goods of use, should buy their hardware, building material, cutlery, firearms, lubricating oils and everything desired that is kept by a first class hardwate establishment, at Cory A Co's., 121 Main street. This Li an old, well established and perfectly reliable house, as all know.

CLIFF 4 60IT8 BOILER WORKS
As It Is now universally oonoeded that Terre-Hante Is sure to become the great manufacturing city of the West, we conoluded yesterdaj& to take look at some of our manufactories as they now aro. We went directly to the new Boiler Works of Cliff A Son, on First street between Walnut and poplar. We found a large number of workmen busily engaged In making new steam boilers, repairing old ones, and doing various kinds of important sheet iren work. Their new shops cover a large space and afford ample room for their fast growing business. The proprietors were closely engaged superintending the work in order that everything may give satisfaction. The establishment is able to turn out three boilers a week,and the number of hands will soon be increased to twenty. Six' teen boilers have been ordered by \&- rious establishments in the country and are to be turned out immediately. They give especial attention to all kinds of sheet iron work, and orders lor work several months ahead are already in. The works have now been in operation several years here, and every job has given satisfaction. It is settled fact that these boilers are equal to the best manufactured in the country, and they are made as cheap as those made in Cincinnati,St. Louis and other leading cities. It must be remembered that all work is warranted. We anticipate that at an early day Cliff A Son's Boiler works will rank in size, capacity and importance among the most extensive of the kind in the West.
And as the demand for this essential portion of machinery increases with the fast growing importance of this country, Cliff A Son will continue to to enlarge their works, increase the number of their hands and in every way prepare for the emergency. As they always get out their work promptly on time and on the most favorable terms for the buyei, there are no inducements left for purchasers to patronize distant manufactories. We would say to all persons interested, buy your boilers and sheet iroh work of Cliff & Son.
Cosmetics and toilet soaps, hand mirrors, ivory, shell, horn and rubber dressing combs, fine hair, cloth, tooth, nail and brushes of all descriptions also cologne sets and handkerchief boxes, at Gulick A Berry's drug store, corner of 4ih and Main streets. A. L. Austin and W. J. Stewart are two of tho mo9t popular and reliable prescriptiouists in the city, and may always be found at Gulick A Berry's. ,«
Every man and boy who bus thoroughly studied his own interest, has concluded to wait for W. H. Bannister's spring stock of clothing snd men's furnishing goods, before purchasing. His stock will soon arrive and we anticipate something handsome. Bannister informs us that his stock will embrace all the most desirable patterns of piece goods, and Bannister is the man to be relied on.
Things aro now somewhat, mixed in the politic.il parties, and things, or rather people, sometimes become badly mixed on account of the rush for those excellent cigars on Main street, just west of the canal. Scott Shoafs brands have become so popular that he is kept constantly busy to supply the great demand. Try his make if you want a good cigar. .It is a positive fact that for elegance of style, economy of price, and perfect atistaction in service and appearance, R. L. Ball's stoves cannot be surpassed. He always keeps the latest improved wood and cook stoves, and is able to suit you on any kind desired. His beautitul marbleized grates and mantles are goiug fast and give universal satisfaction.
That daring and independent shoe merchant," N. Andrews, is making sad havoc in the market, by turning out boots and shoes that cannot be surpassed In style and quality, at the very lowest prices. His make always fits and wears beyond all expectation. He can always bo found at 141 Main re

We claim to sell goods lower tlian any Retail House in our line of business In tlio city.
A few Substantial Reasons why we can do so.
1st We pay no r-nt and In tills way save what costs other grocery houses from two to six percent, on every dollars worth of goods they sell. 2d. We buy our goods from manufacturers and first hands, and in this way make a savlnK in our average of at least four per cent. 3d Our sales are at least double, if not treble those of any other retal grooery in town, and'as this greater amount of business can be done at only a little more expense, it fallows that we can on this account reduce our profits at least five per cent. 4th. Betng ambitious to build up a still larger business we are satisfied with a much smalier profit than many of our competitors.
TO RECAPITULATE.
Waved in Rent, any 4 per cent. ,, Close buying of First Hands, 4 per cent.
By the Large Business we do. 5 per cent.
By our Small Profit System, S per cent.
Total »a veil Town Customers, 10 per cent. Here then is the explanation of how it is that we can yet make money notwithstanding our competitors sav we sell at cost. Our sales are double those of any oilier house in our iinc of business in'the city, and we are ready to test the matter by a comparison of
