Still Showing His Niece the Good
Things of Oregon City.
(Continued from last week.)
"A bouse that is indeed cosmopolitan
in its way and unique from the fact that
it bandies so many things for so many
uses is the one conducted .by W. W.
Bradly," said Uncle Bill. "The ware
rooms and salesrooms contain any arti
cle from a rat trap to a small sized steam
boat, with the usual category of wares,
uteneils and things found in the better
second-band stores. Bradley, the wide
awake owner, buys and sells any article
of utility in furniture or household ef
fects, and when the housewife can't find
what she needs elsewhere sheinyaiia
bly finds it there.
"He must be a genius to cater to the
wants of so many people," is the way
Uncle Bill puts it.
"The progressive spirit of our in?r
chants is readily apparent in many
houses here, but in no particular one
more than in the much valued retail
Bhoe house of Krausse Bros.," casually
suggested Uncle Bill, as they happened
in front of the at t' active show windows,
and by the way, you haven't been in
there yet, either. Come in now and get
acquainted ; it may be to your interest in
the future, if it is an advantage to be ac
cessible to a large and varied stock of
all that is inviting and attractive in ser
viceable and fashionable footwear. I
have found the business dealings of
Krausse Bros, ever characterized by the
rules of probity and correctness to all,
which ia resultant of the favor of a good
clientage."
"In no line of business is the public
more dependent upon men of prompt
ness and a strict cense 01 duty than
than the fmneral director and embalmer
"Here, remarked Uncle Bill, incident
ally, "we have R. L. Holman, who is
associated with this important and in
dispensihle branch of business, and
since he has shown tact and proven him
belt fitted for the duties attending his
chosen avocation or profession, he has
attained the confidence of his clientelle
as an undertaker and embalmer, making-it
a rule to look closely after the de
tails in person of all business entrusted
to him. R. L. Holman has a good ac
quaintance and a growing business."
"The craving of the inner man for a
tempting menu is made happy at the in
viting restaurant conducted by Billy
Rowan, successor to George Bros. Re
staurant, which caters to those who
I prelei a tenimiiig and palatable meal,
prepmeil by the muxter chefs and served

furnishings and environments combined
I with Al aerv'cH, all contribute to the
i comfort of puei-ts, and render even the

or a special meal. The mere fact that
Billy Rowan is associated with the house

An establishment that recommends
itself in the mercantile field is the one
of b. W. Grace, replete with a cosmo
politan stock, embracing heavy groce
ries, table delicacies, provisions, tin and
hardware, crockery and general mer
chandise, etc., as the salient lines, but as
well a full line of notions that is notice
ably cleau, fresh and seaonable. The
present standing of this house is the reV
suit of honest endeavor and business
sagacity on the part of its owner and
manager that claims a long list of
pleased patrons coming from all points.
Mr. G. VV. Urace enjoys a large bust
acquaintance and controls au active
trade.
Among those that are contiibuting to
the business interest of Oregon City in
a substantial way and whose efforts are
bringing trade to this point is Philipp
Bucklein, who is conducting a general
machine shop. He is himself a practi
cal machinist, with a varied experience,
and employs e force of skilled artisans ia
this special branch. His business is
manufacturing to order and as well do
ing all manner of repair work, and since
Mr. Bucklein assumed the ownership
of the plant four months ago he has
been tendered his full share of the busi
ness in his special line doing a general
business in the full sense of the word.
"Nothing recalls reminiscences of the
honeymoon in after life so vividly as a
photograph," incidentally remarked
Uncle Bill, "so our next visit will be
tJ Mies .Wisner's studio, where we will
sit for pictures. Tossibly it may appear
at first glance that as every photograph
er uses the same general method and
operates with similar appliances, and all
are alike skillful, but this is no more
true than that pen and ink sud paper
make the same author, Experience and
equipment are vital ingredients that sue-C--86
in portrait photography requires,
bat more than these is the worth of per.
ception in posing, knack that distin
guishes tbe artist from the ordinary ca
mera 'snappers,' aud it is this faculty of
likeness making that is bringing Miss
Wisuer into good repute."
"A business project that augments
both our manufacturing and commercial
Interests," said Uncle Bill, "is the P
cifio Soda Works, which xist under ca
pable directoiship. It is devoted to the
mimifucturing aud maiketing of soda
wate s, carbonated beverages aud aerat
e I soft drinks of sundry flavors and
kinds, which products have won a place
n the market because they have been
found to be pure and exhiliratiug am
pleasing to the taste of the patrons at
the numerous places that handle these
goods patrons that are not satisfied
with anything but the best.
