One of the busiest shops in town is Htevens* Cash Department Store, where Mr. and Mrs. Htevens and two assistants are bustling about to wait upon their customers, Although the space is small, the stock is varied and complete, and prices compare very favorably with those of down-town stores. Thia is really a department store, with everything in drygoods, notions, shoes, men’s furnishings, and all articles to be found in the big stores. The goods are well displayed, and ser vice is quick and competent. It is a splendid place for Christmas buying, as well as (or everyday trading. (Continued from Page fl) MANZ A MIRWALD, TAILORS.

One of the solid, substantial, reliable ' business men— and if it were not con- ’hiered ungrammatical we might add some more adjectives—is Matt Green- slade. Steadily and unobtrusively, Mr. I Greenslade runs his blacksmith shop on 1 osier Road, aud always seems to be busy. We never remember passing there and finding him idle. He is care ful, courteous, and efficient, scrupulous about paying his bills, a quiet power in | the community, and a decided asset. The more one gets acquainted with him the more one sees the parallel to Long fellow's Village Blacksmith. BECKER’S MARKET. Under the above firm name Mr. and Mrs. Harry Vail have been conducting a well patronized and highly successful meat market for about a year. Harry specializes in good meats, and Mrs. Harry presides—pretty exclusively too —over the fruit and vegetable end ofI things. But there, where can we »top, there la no adequate place, and yet the terri- | tory baa acarcely been touched. Every column of thia large edition could eaaily i be filled with but a brief outline of the J substantial business houses in thia ter ritory.
