An OutUno of tho Business Identity cf tho Moro Prominent Ones with tho Town itself. there fa an appearance of uniformity given to the street that imprresce the beholder very favorably. Here are foe leading dry goods, grocery, hardware, drug, boot and slioe and other mercantile houses, tbo two printing offices, some of the banks, the Port Office, telegraph offices, several hotels Ao. The other business thorough fare, King street, crosses Thames street al the summit of foe slight elevation referred . to. Upon it ore hotels, various business I bouses, banking, exchange and other offices, the Town Hall, &c. Either extrem ity of this streel, as well as Thames street is adorned by numbers of neat cottages, or more imposing residences. As one strolls through the business por tion of Ingersoll ho or she cannot but be impressed with tho superior cbaractei of foe business Lonses,—s, tho stocks dis- pl y id are nppoicnt y unusually large, aud ndimte that tho vo’ntuo of trade trans- ac cd by the merchants, in tho aggrogste, mu«t bo very considerable. There aro dry gjods and-other stores that in stock aud appearance rival the mere pretentious bus iness houses of either London or Hamil ton, aud though foe merchants place their greatest reliance upon the country trade, maiuly attracted from a radius of ten to fifteen miles, it fa apparent that cordial ro tations have been and are maintained be tween the town and country, aud that thia trade is a fixture. Another thing will be noticeable, and that is that the great majority of foe suerchanta of Ingersoll arc young man. Their enter prise and energy bus taken substantial form ; they aro mapping out new commer cial paths for themselves. Undoubtedly we may attribute foe supe rior character of the business structures foato.lorn Thames street to tiat, Thames-st., Rev. J. Dcnipeey, Pastor; Bible Christian, Orford-st., Rev. M. ChappeL THE MANUFACTUalNO IXTEIIXSTS of Ingersoll are quite targe, and yet it is evident to any one that there is room for others. Ent the matter involves so many possibilities—is so fruitful of argument— that we pass it by, simply calling attention to the remarks elsewhere made upon those faetorioe which have taken root and are now flourishing Here. THE DAIBT INTEREST is also relegated to another column. This is the head centre of tbo cheese trade of Oxford County, and of the western portion of the Province of Ontario, and the quan tity handled by dealers in this special line is simply immense. Homowhat of a de. tailed Recount of this important interest will be found iu another column of this issue of the Tr ibune. THE MANUFACTURING INTERESTS OF INGERSOLL. Private Residence. TO Rent or for Sale. For Terms andrkrticulcn, *p] lj W. T. CRI«P, Inge: sol'.IramoH. April II. U77. THB ORBA.TBS WOKD^ OF VOBERN TIMES HOLLOWAY’S PILLS & OINTMENT ■ The traveller east or west via tho Great tWestern Railway, as he is hurried through j a portion ot the town or pauses for a brief ( moment at the depot, can form but a very (imperfect idea of Ingersoll, a town that is , upon all bands conceded to bo one of the tmust thriving and enterprising of tbo j Province of Ontario, and tho Tribune has ttherefore zudertaken tho task of giving nt rleast something more than a casual view , of it through its columns. - The following “writing up" of the town {is in no sense a history of it—within these , columns will doubtless bo found many ] historical facta and data relative to men j aud things, hat the actual history of the town, or its compilation, will be left to others. The province of ibo ncwapnprt < reporter is to deal rather with ibe presen1 I limn with the past—his mission fa to eteh 1 things as. he fiutls them, and though ' references to the past naturally aro made 1 for ibe purpose of comparisons and the sbowinguf different stages of development I yet we wish, at tho ver}’ outset to Vo under- 1 stood.1 THOUGH NOT THE CAPITAL of the County, our neighboring town of Woodstock having that honor, Ingersoll fa, in point of population, upon a par with its rival. Tho generally accepted statement : of population fa five thousand, and we ! 1 ave no donlt it fa essentially correct. The visitor to the town will find both rami and metropulitau fcatmes. The residence portion of the town has the appearance of a vfllnge in this, that for the most part tbo grounds are targe, there fa a profusion of shade treee and shrubbery, nud the dwel lings, or a targe per cent, of them, are of tbs cottage order, with quite a number of exceptions iu tbo form of really pretentious edifices. The topography of the town site is all that could bo desired, tbo surface being quite nndotatiug. Indeed, like Rome, Imrersoll sits npon her hills, and from this throne of besuly—noi exactly rules foe world, lut lays tribute upon a rich aud tortile country adjacent, and from all, eili- sens aud strangers alike,exacts encomiums of admiration, for foe town fa really aud truly attractive. A LOVE OF HOUR lies been manifested by tho reridante foal baa taken an appreciative fores, nmi there fa a home-liko appearance netievuMe that fa aa foreign io larger cities. This undulating surface not. only^dds to foe appearance of foe town but contri butes materially toward ita exceptional bealfofotaeas. The river Thames ccantes forowgli the heart of foe place, and in it Mdnro bas given ns a magnificent sower. Tho drainage from all parts of the town toward the river ia unobstructed, and foe result ia no stagnant pools, breathing miMma, nor are foe streets rondvredr im passable from mnd. xnx TKANKS serves other purposes than evwsrage. The I stream, though christened after » noble J naineeake, cam tey efaim to few pretentions store on King street. Cnutfatming grocery trade two or throe yraro be made a radical change in his hurtn^te coming a jeweller. About this time Great Westein Railway w m &dug b___ money was plenty, aud the luxurke of Ufa j were in about the same demand that the < necessities aro now. Tho burinese prove* n Fticeexs, and Mr. Hall hu remaiuM id nt.fi d with the jewetery intarort *nr /'* Ince. There are few rider established deal.ro in the Province, and, aatbe ehang- .4 | tag yean have cuIEvotel the tartea of tLs 4 pxoplo, we find hte eetablkbment now of • - J character tfart would n flset credit upon a place twice the size of this. / It has not been all plain sailing wiilir Mr* Hall—every venture baa not proved a thousand doHaro of other people’s iadeH-eqwilly prosperous. At ’on sariy day ft | the history of the town bo became largely interested iu real estate, and iu the dis astrous fires that have prevailed from limo time ho has been a heavy loser. Then, too, it is a matter of fact that be hu paid many edneas, simply by bavieg loan bls nemo “as a mere matter of form,” and three on- lucky bits have doubtless* Conspired to keep him iu business. Be that as it may, he is do w as for years past be has been, one of tbo leading bariness men of the town. In addition to bis elegant ptaco of IrafL' uesa boro Mr. Hall has another jewriory house at Exeter, and until rsoently also had one at Wo/dstock. His place’hero ia one of the institutions of ths town, and makes a handsome display of everything' appertaining to tho jewclery trade as ale* musical merchandise and fancy goods. A targe watch aud other xopairing business is also done. Tbns far this year trade shows an improvement over last, and wo hope this will remain a fact to be sbronidad from year to year so long aa he romaiua one of tbo business fratsfpity of IngonoD. very forcible and pointed manner tn what f estimation they are held by foe purchasing r public ; to nay more than that would bo i like gildiug refined gold. < The greatest development of tho enter- c prise has been experioncod since 1870. In 1 comparison with fast year foe business lor t 1877 will show but little change either way 1 tbo unusually depressed financial condition < of foe county procladiGg, as a matter of 1 course, any marked improvement. The i full working force required is 450 pertona. Tho active management of tbo husineM reals with the President, Treasurer and Superintendent, each of wftn takes per sonal cognizance of some department. Tho resuiy| systematized effort, productive of , good results. ; Incidentally, we allude to an item which « shows bow much faith foe Noxon Brothers < havo in the future of Canada. During the i part few years foe firm have acquired a (very largo mill property as well as lands j in the town of Walkerton, County of Brace. A part of that property they recently sold ; for *60,000, and we bellava It is their in- i tention to dispose of their remaining inter ests in Brueo and thus ba free to devote their whole capital and energies in extend ing foe manufacturing operations in Inger soll. They realize foe tact that targe mar kets are opening up ia Manitoba aud foe North-West, os well as in the lower Pro vinces. and to supply this demand admits of an almost indefinite increase in foe com pany’s operations. Tho twenty years that hare come and gone since tho euterpriso was inaugurated have been characterized by wonderful im provements in all classes of farm machi nery. Tho Messrs. Noxon have recognized tho progressive demands of the ago—they have not only kept paoa with, but have aimed to bo in the most advanced rank their success illustrates wbat mon of energy, probity and business ideas may accomplish <.ven iu the face of obstacles. Hatcrhoiue & Bradbury. IL bas been many years since foe first custom roll cards were put in operation in Ingersoll, Lut it was not until about twelve years ago that any manufacturing was done. In 1865 Messrs. James Waterhouse and Frcderivk Bradbury bosglit the mill then controlled by H. Parkhurst, nnd they nt once equipped it'with machinery, aud at the rame time increased its custom capa city. This was the beginning of woolen manufactures in Ingersoll. Both Messrs. Waterhouse and Bradbury were thoroughly conversant with thia Hr.o of manufactures—indeed it has been ths occupation of their lives. Each bad learned foe trade of spinner in the old country, and for the past thirty years they have been associates, and partners for twenty-three. Previous to locating in Ingersoll they bad ran a woolen mill at Thamesford for five years and at Port Stanley lor five. Ths Ingersoll woolen mill fa run foe en tire year and ordinarily gives employment to fourteen to sixteen persons. It is what is known os a one-set mill, and its capa city of consumption may be fairly placed at 20,000 pounds of wool. Two custom roll cards aro in use, oue self-operating spinning jock of 200 spindles, five narrow looms, aud such fulling, dyeing, scouring and other machinery as naturally makes up tho outfit of a well equipped woolen mill. The chief products of the mill are tweeds, flannels and yarns, and foeugb a considerable quantity of those goods are purchased by wholesale houses of foe Pro vince, still tbo bulk of sales are here in the local market. There is a sales room at the mill, and fast May foe firm opened another up town, whore in addition to goods of their own manufacture they carry a gener- , al lino of staple dry goods, and alw have I a general tailoring department. Tba bus- i iuess fa showing improvement all the > time. In foe division of labor Mr. Waterhouse takes general charge of the sates depart- , mente, white Mr. Bradbury manages foe , mill. Both are kept busy, and their work I fa one that baa resulted in derided good to » the whole community.. Sarnia, and to tbo north, south and acct. The local trade, he we ver, is of chiofett importance. They also moke a speciality of undertaking, manufacture and import coffins and caskets, and keep two hearses. With the revival of business which cer tainly ought to come this fall, the firm will ba found well equipped to supply either department of this trade, and they will bo happy to. fill orders now or then at such rotes that cannot fail to give satisfaction. A custom mill upon Queen street, operated by Ben. Hawke, fa another representative if ths milling interest of Ingersoll. The mill b largely operated upon custom work, and its reputation stands high in tho oofcmnnity. Comparatively little manufacturing for ship ping is done. OUB PLANING MILLS. THE MILLING INTERESTS OFINGERSOLL. In close proximity to the railway track ' wo find the planing mills, m b, door, blind aud moulding factory aud lumbar yard of A. Oliver 4 Co. The business dona by this firm is of a far greater consequence than fa generally supposed ; daring the prevalence of good times the force employed ranges from 50 to 60, and even now, when almost all lines of basmsss are dull, there are f om 21 to 30 workmru employed. The firm ore the leading contractors and build ers of Ingersoll also, and their efforts as- aumo most practical form. Tho co-partuera are A. Oliver and Wm. C. Boll. Mr. Oliver has lived hero since 1310 or 185J ; ho built tho mill of which we sneak, and for more than a quarter of a century lai been actively identified with the best interests of tho town. He bas been interested in the politics of tho Province, U>3 ; was the first member elected from the South Biding of Oxford after the eon- eolidalien of the Provinces, and from '67 to '75 represented his constituency in that body. Mr. Boll has been hero for twenty-two years ; he fa a thoroughly practical me chanic, ftuj tbo management of tho busi ness of tbo firm is iu bis bauds. In manu- fscturiug, steam power, fa u^gd, and of manufactured articles xaflbb of the mould ing, sash, doors, blinds, &o., are shipped to points throughout the county and adjacent country. Business generally fa a little quiet at this time, but every facility exists for meeting all reasonable demands. In lumber full stocks aro carried and farmers and others will find it to tb(ir interest to “interview" the Inn, Messrs. Oliver A Co. aro too well known to tbo entire community to require extend ed mention—they are ready for business al all times—will furnish estimates, make a contract, sell a bill or manufacture to . order, and we find room, accordingly, to make this mention. J. Chrbtopber k Bros. «• This firm have, until recently been c - gaged in contracting, building, Ac., as well as doing a general planing mill business. At present they are shut down aud some changes on the tapis prevents ns writing of them in detail. 1, Rrtheean. i Mr. Matheson is also a manufacturer, '■ operating a planfog mill upon Charles st. I Eiis business fa in a fairly active state but , beyond that simple fact, little rematas to • bo said. ITS FLOURING MILLS. All told, in flour, maal, &a., there are ' nineteen run of stones iu ibe town, ten for merchant, (almost exclusively) and nine forcustom and the strictly local market. Tbo ' cooperage for these mills is also made here, and the interest, iu the different pluses it ' assumes, becomes of prominence, well justifying the column wa devote to it. Tbo principal mills are : The Ingersoll Steam Flouring Mills (sometimes known as the “Manchester Mills”), Stuart A King’s Mill, the “North Star” Mills, and Smith’s Mill. We allude to each separately, and they servo as representatives’of their class. The qauchestey Hills are located in the western portion of the town, and consist of a large frame structure with necessary outbuildings. These mills aro operated by the firm of King & Bro., tbo co-partner* being James King and W. S. King. Tho senior member of the firm ia also largely interested in the manufac ture of flour at Sarnis, anti devotes his limo to the business there, his brother and partner, Mr. W. 8. King remaining here and assuming management of (be busmess of this mills. Tho Manchester Mills have four ran of stone, and aro largely engaged in merchant milling, producing about 100 barrels of flour per day, in addition to tho custom work. As noaxly as possible Canadian wheat is ground, and most of the grrin comes from this i tn mediate neighborhood/ Tho great per cent, certunly as much of pine-tenths, of all the flour manufactured goes to Glasgow, Scotlaud^tye firm ship ping direct, and thus, through tho ’fold country" is given practical, we may say •‘toothsome*’ evidence of the agricultural and milling resources of Ontario. Both water and steam power is used, tbocbhf reliance being placed upon a'flne 40-horsc power engine. By tho side of the mill iv also a cooper shop and stave and heading factory op- erated by King i Bro., iu tba interest of millers, pork and butter packers, oilmen Ac., and in tho various departments of the business employment is usually given to a force of twenty or thirty workmen. In another part of tho town, beside the railway track, is tbo new mill of Stuart & King, John Stuart A W. 8. King and Stuart & Douglass of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, beiug the copartners. This mill is a sub- stantial brick structure, is snpplied with , throe ran ot stone, operated by a magnifi cent steam engine of 53 horte power—an t engine built in Detroit—and which it a model in its way ns well as economical, saving fully 33 per cent., of tho amonnt of ! , fuel usually required. This mill was built I . and is operated for certain specific purposes t such as splitting peas, making kiln dried ! corn meal, and pit and pearl barley. The , ordinary capacity ot production of split i j peas is 200 barrels per day; of meal 100 < , barrels per day; ofbarley »« hardly know . how much, as tho demand is relatively ' t small. (The split peas go to New York—or at r least that is Ibe market for the greater f part;—the meal and barley is sold to deal- . era all over Ontario, and some rbipiflents , are also mads to tho States and to Europe. , Ti c management of thia mill is with a Messrs. John Stuart and W. 8. Klug. Tbs Morth Star Dills s are tbo third in Importance, having three run of stone. Recently they have become the property cf Mr, Pater Stuart, though the business ia managed by Mr. John Stu art, the former proprietor, Tho North Star Mills are run wholly open oat meal, and the ordinary capacity may bo pl seed al •100 barrels per day. Both water and steam power io used, the main reliance being placed upon the former. Tho oat meal mannfkcttrred io acid to a large portion of the towna and ci<l»s of Ontario, and ship- raenta are also made to Liverpool and G1 si- gow, shipmeDta being made both in bags aud barrela. The Meson. 5lu»rt and King are all Scots by birth. Mr. John Stuart l^ta been a resident of Ingersoll for 14 or \B years, and JJr. King for eight. The task named geoQemnn wMfqfvnrly engag e! in the dry goods trade at Toronto. Thu bnsineas in* tereeta of these gentlemen occupy their tioxe very fully aud in a quirt mwwtenteUeus way, they are advanciug the material iutereata ol lugnraoll and of Oxford County. Comments upon ourthriving town would I be far from complete were not some detail- ’ od mention made of tho advantages or < attractions Ingersoll presents as a point ton ’ the investment of capital in manufacturing i enterprises. Such commenta could not i take a more peitinrnt form than in tbo ] publication of a sketch of the origin, and ] devolopement, nature and course of trade i of tho leading manufacturing interest of the < town, the | Nexon Bros. Jlanalaclurlng Co.^jr, The enterprise has now been iu existence I twenty-one years, — it bas reached its “majority,”—and the story of its success is 1 but a repetition of that pheno nena iu 1 natural life where cartilages harden into 1 bone, muscles and sinews are developed, ' tho infant becomes the boy, $nd the boy 1 the man, strong iu bis manhood. Like most manufacturing enterpriser inaugurated in Ontario twenty-one years ago, this was relatively small—it had nn uncertain future before it, with the odds decidedly against it. Lot us trace the career of the enterprise : Tbo business was originated by Messrs. J. and S. Noxon in 185G, and tho special ties of tbo works at that time were tho manufacture of stoves and plows; that tho concern was of limited proportions may be inferred when we str.to that horse power was resorted to for driving the blast. Since 1356 there is record of changes, both in co partnership and in character and amount of work annually done. In 1805 Stephen Noxon was admitted to the firm, and iu IS69, under the style of Noxon Brothers, F. C. nud T. H. Noxen were admitted. In 1872 the |>resent organization was perfect ed under the name of tho Noxon Bros. Mannfactnring Company, with nn authoriz ed capital of 1150,000, the officers being James Noxon, President; Samuel Noxvn, Treasurer, and F. C. Noxon, Superinten- deut Such have been the changes ns regards management and co-partnership. Some changes have also occurred iu tbo character cf business done. In 1858 stove manufacturing was retired fiom, and since then tho works have been devoted to tho manufacture of agricultural machinery of various kinds and classes. In passing through Ingersoll Ly rail the traveller can scarcely fail to notice tho factory of which wo write. Extending by the side of and parallel with the Great Western Railway tracks for a considerable distance, their external appearance im presses the most casual bohuldor that hero are works of real maguitmle. This impres sion is abundantly sustained by facts, and tho writer, thoroughly conversant with a largo per cent, of similar concerns in both the Stales and Canada, can pay the Com pany the merited compliment of saying that, in all essential respects, in completeness of “outfit," in appearanoo and arrangement of workshops the works are inferior to none. Tbo grownd area oecnpied by tile build ing* and yards is five acres. There are, necessarily, a number of apartments, and, through tho conrtesy of the President of the Company, we are enabled to give tho superficial area of each : , Sand Room and Cupola Itaom 2,500 feet. Moulding Shop.........BhocksuHtbSbop....................Carting end Ckaning Room, i Eagioe an I Boiler Room Iron and Finishing Shop......■ Wood Working Shop........ . (Drying Kila..... ............Wood Finishing Shop.-----Paint Shop......................... i Store Roon...........................Pattern Boo tn........................Office sad Show Boom...... Ous of tbs best known of the dry goods and millinery citabhshmenlsof the town is the “ Glasgow House," John McEwen ht Co., proprietors. For a number of years it has held a leading ptaca in the list of merchautila interests here, and certainly1 no other business house of Ingersoll more deserves detailed mention herein than it John McEwen & Co. are successors to A. It. Kerr A Co. Seven yean ago Mr. McEwen came here from the neighboring city of London, where, for a number of years, he had been connected with the dry goods trade, and engaged with A. R. Kerr & Co. as a ralesman, Two and a half years age, Mr. McEwen and Hr, G. A. Thompson bought out Kerri Co.’s clothing department. One year later they disaolvid partnership, and Mr. McEwen purchasad tho dry goods and Millinery business of Mr. Kerr. Such, iu the briefest way, is an outline of the changes tbo enterpriaa baa undergone. The visitor to ths esLsblfahuBeui win find a house complete in its many appointments; be or she will find au especially large stock of goods in tbs various liues and selected with special reference to this market. Tho entire building is occupied, tbo first floor befog the general dry and fancy goods salesroom, aud in ths rear of it is a hand some roillfoery deportment. The latter department receives especial attention aud a very largo town and country trade is done. Usually from eight to fourteen mil liners are required in the house, and cer tain it fa that the people have appreciated the endeavors made to supply them with whatever fa best and meat faaluonable. The diy goods departrewnt fa equally com plete, and iu every way reflects credit upon the town. Upon the sasond flat of tits building arw carpets, mattings and floor oH elotha. The stock being ample at all timaa. McEwen A Co. are agents here, for the floor oil cloth factory at Paris, Out., which manufacture* ta class of goods equal to the beat imported; full lines of samples are shown, and orJara will be received for any pattern cr width. We could hardly say that the Lousa makes a specialty of any one thing abovr anoLlier, and while its trade fa mostly look], still in some lines it extends over a large area of country. In obeeoa cottons, for instance, Mr. McEwen imports direct and iu original packages. Already this aauou* tha bouse has sold fully 1,000 pieces, tbe demand reaching frim Windsor to Hami’- irn. The general trade of (lie house fa better thus tar this ye«r than last, and Mr. M - Ewen expresses hiuneK quite hopeful of a targe fall burineaa. To the business he devotes Lis whole time; ha is a young, man, energetic and busincss-Hke, and ban certainly worked hard for the success lia. has attained. that have, from lime to time, ravaged the I town. Only five year* ago a very general conflagration swept away a large per cent i of foe business blocks of this street. This : " purification by fire " baa been of benefit, i aud taught many practical lessons—ex- < pensive lessons they have been, too—Lut < ths people, even those whoso hard-earned savings have fallen victims once, twice or . thrice to flames, havo not been discouraged. 1 Those disasters havo only served to incite i foe people to renewed energy, and withont < assistance from outside the work of recu perating from tosses entailed, has gone forward bravely ami steadily.' THE CHARACTER OF TBS CITIZENS can hardly be analyzed in a newspaper ar ticle—it can be inferred somewhat from the preceding remarksand from the comments we elsewhere inako upon many of tho. manufacturing and mercantile interests. Different nationalities are represented; wo hardly know which preponderates. Many are native Canadians, Scotland is well rep' resented, and so ore England and Ireland, while the “States” havo supplied their quota to tho population. Ingersoll, like most towns in foe Doi minion, is essentially aa orderly town—a relatively temperate town. With ita early settlement came ehurehos and Sabbath and day schools, and tho influences thus early exerted have continued, bearing substan tial, ripened fruit. Of its social aspect much might be writ ten, aud yet not foe half bo told. There is little of that exclusiveness which character- izss older aud larger places. The social distinctions, while clearly enough drawn, have wot that extreme nicety wo ton often find. Perhaps’.this may be accounted for inpart by the fact that the population is a com munity of workers; those who are wealthy have fur the msst part, accumulated their wealth h*re, aud their success has stimu lated others. A mXXWIEXAL GROWTH —an undus inflation, has never especially characterized the town. When foe Great Western Rnilwaf was being built, and as it approached Ingersoll, somewhat of an era of speculation was ushered iu, aud for a lime tho embryo town had a rapid growth. Its real development has been based upon foe resource* of the stfaroaud- ing country, and the basis Jias been and fa a eubstaoti 4 one. The agricultural and dairy interests of Oxford County are known far and wide; foe fsrtuare are gradually alt lining independence and afflueuee, and Silong as foe country tributary to Inger- •oil maintains its fertility so long will foe town advance in population and wealth in exast tatio with foe developamebt of the r eorroundiage from which it derive* it* i.oi lman ee.

The house has several specialties. Dry goods are doubtless the leading feature, and this line fa supplemented by millinery, cloth ing, bats and cap*.

Among the leading representative* of the boot and shoe trade of Ingersoll we find Mr. W. C. Johnston, a young man and a native Canadian. Mr. Jehjuston ba* now been con nected with the mercantile interests of th* town for the put tea years, ccmfcg here from the vicinity of Toronto. He did nut engage in trade for himself until about five year* ago, and then as one of the firm of Harns ft Johns tor, boot and ahoe merchants. For the put year and a-half Mr. Johnston hu carried on business by himself—L, e., he hu had no partners. In addition to dealing in a general line of foot wear, from the most common and cheapest to the moat expensive kind* and styles ; be also doe* a considerable quantity of custom manufacturing per year, and also a general repairing Lusineu. The principal bnsincu, of course, fa the sale of ready-made goods, and, u an exceptionally fine line fa carried, the people of Ingersoll and vicinity have extended the house a liberal patronage. Mr. Johnsen personally supervise* th* business, and he reports the outlook for th* later summer and fall trade u in every way encouraging. The Tr ibuxb certainly hopes that throe exppefattoras nay be even more- than realised. The clothing, merchant tailoring, gents’ fur- niching goods and hat and cap trade has a worthy representative in Ingersoll in the es tablishment of Mr. G. A. Thompson, and we have a word or two to write relative to it and its proprietor.like the great majority of the merchants of Ingersoll, Mr, Thompson is » young man. He came here between nine and ten years ago, and his business experiences in this communi ty began in an engagemeat as salesman with th* fats dry goods and clothing house of A. R. Kerr t Co. As elsewhere stated, Mr. Thompson, in partnership with Mr. McEwen, subsequently purchased the clothing inte*sst of that house, and one and a-half years ago ho assumed entire control of the business. Ho has since been at the head of an establishment in every respect creditable to him and the Merchant tailoring is, perhaps, the leading specialty of the business. During tho busy season a force of from, sixteen to twenty per sons is employed, and the quantity of custom made garment* annually turned oat is very large. Th* ready-made clothing interest i* by no mean* neglected, and full stock* are shown, whil* in furnishing goods large lines of tho latest novelties are carried. The sam* fa true df the hat and ;cap department. It ia evident to any one that trade is'in a good condition, and no effort* will be Spared Mr. Thompson fa originally from Scotland, thirteen years ago. Since then he has been connected' with the business interests of Clinton, Wood* took and Ingersoll, and his house now commands the good will of all in the community. As to its future the Tr ibuxe can only wish it]eontinued success. The most'recently established^ dry goods firm in Ingersoll fa that of Hearn & Macaulay, which dates its organisation from the first Of March, 1878- Though of recent formation the house has already become one of the “ ruling powers,” so far aa the mercantile in. terests of the town ara concerned, and if it be frue that it has'no extended history, our reporter still has some gossip upon the enter prise and the ^gentlemen who conduct it. The co-pprtnurs are H. Hearn and A. Macaulay. Mr. Hearn has resided in Inger •oil since 1830, and he comes under the desig nation of "old resident.” By the expe riences of the greater part of a lifetime be fa a merchant An Englishman by birth, he served a long apprenticeship to the dry goods business in London, and though since coming to Ingersoll he has not always followed the business, he fa yet a thoroughly experienced merchant For some time he was landlord of the Royal Hotel here, but now he has gotten back to the dry pods trade. Mr. Macaulay is a somewhat younger man than hfa partner, and fa a Canadian by birth. For ten years he has lived here, and fa well known to all our people in connection with his present line of business, he having Veen con nected with the dry goods trade ever since coming here. The firm tore very ceey quarters in the Odd-Fellows Hall building, and apon the shelves, counters and taslow eflsewaraspread out the freshest and latest novelties in dry goods, millinery and millinery supplies. Everything has a testy look, the secret of which per haps is to bo found in the fact that scarcely a weak or even a day passes in which accessions to stock arc not made. Goods are coming and going all of the time, and the people have learned the significance of this faet. As a result, despite the general com- plaints of •' hard times,” Hearn k Macaulay’s sales thus far this year have been fully ene- third in advance rf the corresponding months of 1876, counting from th* first of Marsh, and the impression prevails with the firm that this ratio of growth will characterise operation* for th* remaining months of th* year. As a representative of th* dry good* and miUinery Few places of business in Ingersoll are bet ter known to the people generally of town and country than the “ Mnpf-< Leaf Groceiy,” and it nattfroBy enough cornea op for mention in this re.snw of the town- and ite business houses. Mr. Dundas fa » native of this sec tion, and about eleven years ago removed to Inge noil from Dorchesterf- where, for some yean, he had been engaged in the general grocery and provision trade. For the flnt that ia inferior to none, and the months, as they come and go, only add to the laurels of success already won. The gentleman named above has now been a reaident of Ingersoll for the past twelve year* Nr. Little came here from Loudon ; I there he had been engaged in the livery and harness bnsineas for some years. He did not fieCMne one of the merchants of Ingersoll -indeed it mmt have rsaamably variously engaged in baaiu-aa, and about e«H year. ago. in company with a Mr. Wait; established a grocery house under the firm and style of Wait 4 Dundas.

Mr. Boles is an active business man-—he is a thorough going Irishman as well, and eno of tbe business fraternity, that we take the liberty of referring to it in this issue of the Tbxxuse. B. TT. Weodrooie. Oue of the most attractive of tbe many baafaomo salesrooms to be found along Thames’etreet is at the jewelery establish ment of B. W. Woodroole in McGaughey’s block. In the show cases arc shown the many evidence* of the jewelers and gold and silversmith'• skill, and ono can really t enjoy looking at tbe many beautiful forms which gold and silver have assumed under tho manipulation of skilful workmen. Mr. Woodroofo established hi* house hero four years ago, then removing from Wood- •lock, where he bad formerly been in the * ime trade. He has, from al! we can learn, mot with » nrort cordial reception and has been the recipient of an excellent patron age. In return be haa certainly given the people an establishment that reflect* credit upon tbe town, and whore can be pur chased at the lowest possible rater every thing appertaining to this department of trade. Repairing is quite a gpecihl'.ty, x’so. Mr. Woodroofo, although a young man, is an experienced, practical workman, and be wiil, we daresay, at all limes be hoppy to ualertako any work in hfa line. ft, Y. Ellis k Dr*. When Messrs. R. Y. & A. II. Ellis de cided to begin business in Ingersoll nine year* ago they were stranger* to the whole community, but they thought, all things considered, that tbe chance* were in favor of building tip a substantial trade in the course of time. These expectation* have certainly been realised, if we may judge by tbe extent of their house now. It fa rarely that one sees ao extensive a retail hardware bouse even in tbe largest cities of th* country, and it* appearance and slock would indicate to the ordinary visitor quite a* much the idea of a jobbing a* a retail trade. Beginning buriuegs hero as strangers, *s we have said, the Messrs. Ellis have pros pered. After the great fire of 1872 they purchased the building site now occupied, on Thames street, and then built a busi ness bouse which, in its completeness of arrangement* and general adaptability ha* caused it to be ths model of nnmbei* since.

In J 1850 bo came from the “old country” and I located at Woodstock, becoming a sale*- i man in a dry goods honaa there. Six year* ; after be removed to Ingersoll and engaged ' in hfa first mercantile venture on hfa owu i account, beginning the dry goods and general merchandise trade in a building on King street, subsequently removing to Thames street. Iu (we think) 18G5 he was burned out, and, in 1872 the ordinary monotony of the dry goods trade was again disturbed by the disastrous fire of that year, in which he was a heavy loser. Immediately after Mr. White re-built on the premises now occupied. Tbo building that had been burned was one of the finest for business purposes in this section of the country, and it waa replaced by one per haps not equally expensive, but which afford* every facility that may reasonably bo wished,—a substantial three story and basement brick block, 88x25 feet. Could wo detail tho experiences of the past twnnty years, so far as regards the dry goods merchants of Ingersoll are con- i cernod, we could fill a vdltimn, and, adapt ing a couplet from Tennyson's “brook” somewhat, Mr. White may say an the > trade, that “men may come and men may 1 go, bat I go on forever.” To have passed 1 through the various crises that hare oc- ' cured; to undergo the loses incidurtal to two large fires, ami to remain at the head of a large and prosperous business, is cor- r taiuly a record that no man need be ’ ashamed of. As all our readers arc aware, Mr. White’’* specialties in the trade are dry goods, millinery and carpets. The dry and dress goods department occupies the main body of the salesroom—in tho rear of it, elevated on a half favor, fo tire millinery, mantle and cloak department, complete in itself, and the second flat is devoted to the carpet department—a decided specially. The business, notwithstanding the amount of supervising labor it calls for, is under his personal management, and in all respects tho enterprise deserves to bo referred to ns a representative interest. T. Hr Barratioflgt, Mr. Barradongh is one of the compara tively few natives of Oxford County who arc engaged in business here. Ho removed to Ingersoll from Woodstock eighteen years ago, and at once embarked in the boot and eLo* bnsincss,obtaining a location at lire eorncr oi Thnnovs and Charles •treets. Two removals have since been, made, one of them caused by fire, and ihe promises now occupied hare been used by biro ever since they were built, after the fire of 1S72. Mr. Barradongh is now one of the old est bool sod efeoe merchants of the cotrntj. He has been connected with th* business for the past twenty-(wo year*, unJ the name of no dealer here baa become more familiar to th* public at large. In addition to transacting a general trade in all classes of ready-mad* foot wear—a large and well selected stock being carried—Nr. Barra chugh also manufactures quit* largely to order, usually giving empfoyroent to six or seven workmen, and the amount of work turned out from the custom depart ment ia by far'grsafer tbw tbwt from any other simitar enterprise in town. To the business he gives hi* personal attention in all ite details, and, a* might be expected, the bouse holds a place in the business cir cle of the town, won by long years of faith ful endeavor. Jasses HsC*lrtck. Mr. McGolrick's business is of such a character that he may be spoken in con nection with either the manufacturers or merchants. Hfa specialty is harness making, and for tbe past four years he has been carrying on that department of trade in a manner whteh ie deserving of mention. A Cmndiau by birth, Mr. MeGolrick •ante here from- Hrantford thirteen years ngcr, tmtil 1870,lre worked at Lis trade as jotrrneynmn, and tiien for three years was in partnership I stum llttn b* ht* been atone.

Now h* give* employment to fiv* workmen and turns out a large quantity of work, almost all of which is purchased in this immediate vieini.’y where the character of work don* fa wall-known. AH classes of harness ar* made free* • 16 to |100 par sat, and eitirer higtrof few priced good* th* same pains is taken iti manufaelure. We ar* glad to chronicle Mr. McGolrick’s n*e**s— basiem* witlr bitn this year show* an advance ot fully fiO par cent, over 1876—-he has worked for this result with a win, and he has deserved the high reputation won. last yearsmonntafi to about a quarter of* million of doTlars.

C CatavsIL As wifi be notieafi by this review of Ingersoll and its business interests, few of th* merchant* of to-day bnv* been iden tified with ite business interests for nearly a quarter of a century. Mr. Cildwa’l is oao of the first, and we believe be fa now next to the oldest merchant in the town. Mr. Caldwell came to lugenoll 25 years •go next month, from London, Ont There b* bad been connected with the drug trade for son»s years, and when h- located here the busin*e.x naturally became hfa specialty in trade. Stn^e then, except six months, be ba* been alone in trade. L e. has had no partner; and though hfa business exper ience* here have been fn'l of Ticfaritndcs, yet an “ower true tala ” revea’s a simple statement of facts, which the T.hibumk records in this Lums. Mr. Caldwell hat been compolloj to make three removals, once by fir*, an.1 lately he has again changed locCioa, now taking possession of a store south of D. Write 4 Co.'s. This place be Las Sited up with all the nccassoriea of the drug trade, and he fa now, if possible, better than ever prepared to cater to the wants of the people. In the way of business, nothing fa neglected, and the experience of the put 8B years are put to good use. Mr. i Caldwell has a handsome place—hfa new . quarters are in every wsy worthy of tirebusiness, and he, as ono of the pioneer* of * the town, ought to be, a* be fa, the rrcip- ’ ient of a trade which shows coatiuaod salf (I rastainiug growth. ( Homer Campbell, Jr. ( * The atoro and tinware tralo of Ingersoll 1 > . :is carried forward in a snirit of enterprise ,is one of the many industrios of the to wn that and good feeling, and wo write of the house of Homer Campbell, jr., as repre- * sentative of its class. Mr. Campbell is a native of Ingersoll, and for the put ten years he hu b;en carrying on his present business. II > suc ceeded to the stove and tinware honie of James Atkins, and not only retained the trade of the old house but largely added ta it. Ho now occnpics two store-rooms on King Street (where bo has been for the put eight years) and hero are displayed the many things that comprise part and parcel of such an establishment. Several of the leading makes of stoves arc carried on, the aim evidently being to keep tho best, whether in beating or cooking stoves, and the largo soles male attest the fact that this aim fa carried out. Mr. Campbell also mannfocturcs tinware extensively, and does a general jobbing business io guttering, roofing.spooling and all of that cfass of work. Recently lx bus added the laying of "Garry’s patent cap roofing” to his other business, and a block of two stores directly across Hie way from Iris place of business attests how thorough ly the work is done. This patent cap roof ing is of iron, and toot only is ft dumbly but its use decreases tire danger from fire and, consequentTy, insurance rates. Il Ires no bud effect upon water; it combines beauty, durability, economy and simplicity, und tire system can bat meet with the approbation of sdl who will be erudfd enough to give it n test. Mr. Campbell is solo agent here for this style of roofing; and ho will ba glad to give particulars, estimates, &c., to anyone. Another feature of the business is agricul tural implements. Mr. Campbell is tbo most extensive- dknter m implements in Ingers.ll, and farmers will find that con sultation with him fa to their interest. The furniture business is another leading specialty with Mr. Campbell, and a lurgo stock fa carried. Children’s carriages, platform and cotKrfel scales, coal oil, paiata. lubricating and other oils, also enter* largely into, the composition of what easy be called a stock sut generit. Aa one of the leading business interests of town the one to which we now refer deserves to be spoken of as a representa tive, as none here have a firmrr bold npon the public.

Cragg, The harness making inti rest of the tow* ie not without its representative*. Among the number we name Mr. Cpigg. a native of England, wife learned his trade in Lon don, Ontario, and who, since 1851, has been carrying it o i here. Being a practical workman, Mr. Cragg 1 personally supervises all work. Ho also ' usually employs from two to three work-1 mon, and though hfa trade fa largely local ’ in its nature, still he holds Lionsolf in ' readiness to fill order* from any section of tbo country. We bad the curiosity to learn the prices charged for different styles and qualities of work dans. It seem* they range, in double harness, from 821 to 145 ; insingfe form, $18 to 150 ; and in carriage form. •40 to flo. Indeed, any and every kind of work fa done, from a harness for a plough horse to oue for a “trotter.” From twenty to thirty setts are carried in fatock, all of the time, and th* aim of Mr. Cragg is to supply every taste, however fastidious. During the years that he bas been in business in Ingersoll Ire ha* taken an active part in promoting tbe beat interest* of tiiis department of trade, and the people generally have learned to place confi lenee in Lis representations. As a result, the Tr iduxe can recommend him and bis work. THE DAIBY 1] M ute tess "cwreKs’’ is M«nro" « oxm o co.

Ingersoll is conceded to be one of the most enterprising and progressive towns in the Dominion, and although we hive •nSbred in a greater degree from devas tation by fire than any of our neighbors, Jet we have steadily maintained a hig'i and honorable position amongst them as a trailing centre. The fasts contained in the article which we publish to-day is proof of this, and we have no doubt that ufter passing through the ordeal of hard times and commercial depression which lias had its influence upon us, Ingersoll will again arise in its might We hope thia effort of ours, at the present oppor tune time will have its effect in induc ing a speedy revival of trade. The pros pects for a good harvest were never bet tor and all things combined we have good reason to look hopefully’forward to the future. If this undertaking of »nra may be the means of assisting to uocellerate the motion of the wheels of progrras we shall consider ourselves amply rewarded. Special llOTtinj of tho Council.
