will find him to be straightforward, accommodating and honest, affable to all alike, either rich or poor. One can also know that they are dealing with a house that has a reputation for good weights and favorable prices, which are not excelled in the cixj OT tliis section of country. TSki gentleman is aft enterprising business man, bound to succeed and is deserving of the support he is receiving from our people. C. L. Alexander. The above named gentleman is very popular and besides being liked by everybody is an accomplished grocery man, having been in the business in differeent partnerships for the last 12 years. He is admirably equipped for the transaction of the large business which falls to his house." He has established a reputation for fine goods and satisfactory dealing that would be a credit to any firm. He buys only the freshest, purest, and choicest goods the market aifords,regardless of the cost to him, and places them on sale at the same figures which some houses ask for inferior goods of the same kind, and he guarantees the quality of everything sold. If any article purchased at his store is not all right, his instructions are to bring it back and he will make it so or cheerfully refund the money. The stock of goods carried embraces almost every article that comes under the comprehensive head of groceries, candies, canned fruits, etc. He keeps his assortment fully up with the times and is always prepared to furnish any article called for in the grocery line, including all the best brand of Hour. Mr. Alexander began business as a clerk and like many othe:s of our successful business men, began life at the bottom round of the ladder, and ha ever since been climbing upward until he is now classed among our best and most reliable businessmen. He has had sufficient experience in the grocery business to know of all its requirement and is therefore making it a success. Those who patronize this house are nut likely to transfer their trade elsewhere. Mr. Alexander is au accommodating gentleman, and merits the patronage and confidence of the people. O. H. Stone. Among? the various business houses of our city there are usually a number who merit more than a tew passing remarks in an edition of this character. Not only for the good management,energy and enterprise displayed, but more especially for the advantages that these facts have enabled them to give the purchasing public. The establishment of O. H. Stone is an exclusive boot and shoe house and ranks as the leading one of its kind throughout this entire section of country. This well known and justly popular establishment is located on the west side of the square, second door from the south east cor. Mr. Stone is successor to V. T. Blair, who gained such a wide reputation by furnishing the people of Blooraington md vicinity with a quality of boots au I shoes that could not be duplicated for the same money at any other house in the country. Mr Stone is not a green hand at the business, but has had many years of valuable experience and is well known to our people.and it has been his aim from the first not only to maintain the high reputation which his predecessor had established, but to continue to add to and increase his facilities, so that the leadership in good goods and low prices may remain with his house as it does at present. The store room is large and commodious and is completely filled with goods which are first class in every respect, and have a well and justly established reputation for lasting qualities. The stock includes the finest assortment of standard makes, and everything sold is warranted to be just as represented. The Starke boot, of which he is sole agent, is one of the beBt and most substantial pieces of foot ware for rough and every day use to be had in the market anywhere. Mr. Stone is also agent for Emerson's gentlemen's dress shoes. These are the most elegant, durable and becoming shoes known to the trade and need no enconium from us to increase their popularity. The brands of ladies shoes are of the most stylish and lasty makes and need oaly to be tried to be appreciated. In fact, Mr. Stone has established a high reputation for satisfactory goods ,and will let nothing pass over bis counters that will mar that reputation. In variety, his stock of boots and shoes is almost endless, embracing every style and pattern from the heaviest stiff to the finest French kid shoes, while his prices are alwavs found to be as low as

the lowest. This house adheres strictly to this rule "Never make a misrepresentation knowningly in order to affect a sale" And wear equivelant to price charged is guaranteed in every sale. Mr. Stone does his own buying and is a close and careful buyer. And it can truly be said that he baa mastered the business in its every detail. He ie a thorough judge of the quality

of the goods he handles. Mr. Stone possesses a decided advantage over other dealers as he buys in larger lots and of course gets his goods at a less price. He has already purchased his heavy and complete stock of boots, shoes and rubbers, which are already arriving and his large room the dimensions of which are 20x120 ft, will soon be tilled to overflowing with the largest stock of footwear ever placed on the market in Bloomington. W. B. Hughes. xVmontr the institutions of Bloomingtou which hav;e gained by their fair dealing and low prices an eni ibie reputation, Ave mention with pride the house of VV. B. Hughes, located on the cor. of 4ih and Morton streets. He carries a full line of all kinds of building material, both of native and foreign growth, and persons not acquainted with Bloomiugton's demands for this class of soods would be surprised at the stock of lumber, lath, siuuujies, sash and doors kept constantly on hand at this well stocked housejin addition to this he carries a large supply of lime, cement, sand, plaster, tire brick, etc. Mr. Hughes has been engaged in this business here for 4 years, and it is a conceded fact that ho was the first man to c?v a full line of buildins material ii. o beautiful little city. Not only ins, but he was the first man to run a retail coal yard and supply our people with that useful commodity and so honest has been hi3 dealings and so reasonable has been his prices, and the variety of stock carried by him has been so complete that no opposition has ever been able to permanently establish itself against him. His stock of coal is large and he keeps constantly on hand some uf the best brands to be had, both for private use and for blacksmith shops and like concerns. In short this

Adams, Hall & Co. This firm is successor to the well known and justly populai dry goods and carpet house of McCalla & Co. Their location is on the west side of the public square, and has a justly established repntatiQu for fine and durable goods which wasestab'Ucd by Mr. McCalla, who always made it a point never to handle any goods which he could not conscientiously recommend. This fact soon became known to our people throughout this entire seetiou of country, and persons who were desirous of purchasing good reliable floods at a very moderate price,found here bargains th.it could not be duplicated at any other house in the city. About one year aio he sold his stock of goods to the above named firm. The members of the new firm arc all youug, enterprising and experienced business men, and bring into the establishment a knowledge and ability which has so far enabled them not only to maintain the high standard which the store possesncd under its. former proprietorship, but to incref.se and add to their facilities, and ability to accommodate the people uutil now there is no institution in this section that carries so large and complete a lino of dress goods, embracing every variety. A specialty is made of fine worsted and silks. In notions thi house especially takes the lead, carrying a stock that embraces every conceivable article for which any customer would bo likely to call. The past enviable reputation, which this house ha gained in its carpet department, the Tklepiioxk is pleased to state is not only being maintained, bul large and valuable additions are constantly being made to their tock, which is already the largest an .i most complete in the city.

Bloomiiigton Roller Mills. .Bloomington is one of the leading manufacturing and business centers of this section of country, and among i-s establishments which greatly contribute to it as a commercial canter possessing undoubted facilit.es and advantages and adding to the general progress of the community, is the flouring mill of Collins & Karseil. This is the largest and most complete mill of its kind iu Monroe Co., and in fact is supplied with a .stock of Machinery not surpassed in eiticiei cy by any in the State, it is furnished with a full system of Nordyke and Marmon rolls, and the fact has been fully established that this mill produces a grade of Hour not only superior iu quality, but of such marked excellence that it stands second to none in the State. The latest improvements have been added and no expense spared in keeping pace with the times in the manufast'iru of flour. The capacity of this mill is 75 barrels per day,

ity and personal honor, which is but the foundation for the increased prosperity which is in store for its proprietors. H H Dronberger & Co Bloorai lgton can to-day boast of an enterprise to which she never before could lay claim. A short timeago the above named gentlemen established in the old Dillman stand on Tub street, the first combined poultry and dressing house ever operated in our city. Thse gentlemen are old, experienced commission merchants, and have two large

j commodious poultry houses. One

in hrauktort, Inch, and the other in Crawfordsville. The locating of a branch establishment at this place will be of great benefit to the farmers and poultry dealers throughout this entire section, as Mr. Dronberger, by his large experience and the heavy volume of business done, is enabled to pay a much higher price than our people have heretofore been accustomed to receiving. They will have the poultry purchased here slaughtered as soon as received and then shipped direct to New York in ice-cold refrigerator cars, thus avoiding all loss from death,

shrinkage or decay. By this means

dence in the world of its stability and capable management. The present owners and managers of this establishment are W. H.. W. B., and James Sewardja son and grandsons, ol its ancient founder. And who it is evident from their energetic manner of conducting the business, have inherited their ancestor's mechanical skin. The location of this manufacturing concern is on the east side of N. Walnut Street. A general repair and moulding business is done, such as supplying any desired kind or style of casting to order. This is always done on short notice and in the most approved and workmenlike manner. A special feature of this house is the manufacture of the Seward Steel Plow. This plow is an invention of this firm, and has an extensive, constantly increasing popularity throughout this section of country, on account of its cheapness and durability, as well as being the lightest running plow to be had in the market. They also manufacture au Evaporator used in the manufacture of sorghum, which possesess many peculiar advantages over all others. Thif house manufactures all kinds of iron fence, gate.?, gate-posts, etc. Many specimens of their work can be seen in almost every part of the city, and it is especially admired by our people and by many outsiders visiting our city, for neatness, taste aud architecture. They manufacture a fence that is deserving of more than passing notice, from its cheapness, lightness, beauty and general safty. The frame work of this fence is manufactured of wrought-iron gas pipe, which makes it light and substantial, and is filled in with steel wire ribbon. The fence is also supplied with good solid cast iron posts, which, when properly planted and firmly fastened to the frame work above,completcs a fence which will without change or repair last an entire lifetime. All work done at this house is warranted to be just as represented. Employment is given to from 13 to 20 men. The money paid out for their services is kept and spent at home, instead of being sent away, as it inevitably would be were this institution not here. These gentlemen consume a large amount of pi rr ancj scrap iron, and always pay the highest market price in cash for any and all kinds of scrap iron brought to their shop. We would say to farmers who are coming to town, that it would pay them much better to throw in their old iron and bring it here, receive honest weight and a good price in cash, than to be euchered out of it by wandering peddlers. Patrons always find those gentlemen honorable in dealings, affable and pleasant, and having been to their place of business once never fail to call attain

G-roceries. We have spoken of the flouring mill owned and operated by the firm of Collins & Karseil, but especial mention should be given to their large and complete grocery house, which is one of the oldest grocery firms in the city.

This firm is a valuable acquisition to our city and of incalculable benefit, affording a market of which our city has long stood in need, and the Telephone takes pleasure in recommending it to our people as an institution highly deserving of their patronage. Seward & Co In our enumeration of Bloomington and it leading and most important industries, it would be a piece of inexcusable carelessness in us to omit to give due mention to her oldest and one of her most solidly established manufacturing institutions. Indeed, an institution whose foundation history dates back to the earliest recollections ot the pioneer settlers of our country. Away back when Blooiuington was yet a" wilderness, when the first settlers were building their log huts and clearing away the brush to make ready sufficient ground on which to raise a few of the necessaries of life, there came to this town a mechanic who chose for his occupation the manufacturing and supplying to his neighbors and friends some of the tools and utensils with which to subdue the forest. His name was Austin Seward, and he established here in 1821 a foundry which still goes by the same firm name. It is no doubt the oldest institution of its kind in the State of Indiana. When we look back at the long years and great changes that have taken place all around in the last 70 years, since Hloomington was a village of two or three houses, and Monroe county had not 100 white persons in it, and when taken iuto consideration the fact that this foundry has withstood all the adversities, changes, financial depressions, wars and calmaties for three quarters of a century, and still retains the fame old firm name, with no breakdowns, or disruptions, we have the best evi-
