There is no truth in Mr. {rish’s statement but he can rest as- sured that there has been some viola- tion cf law in the Review office | which will be attended to. Judging from the sales and the} immense stock in the two large rooms of the east side Furniture house, we would say that the house still keeps up its reputation of being at the head of the business in the county.

In or- GERM der to learn something authoritative- | ly. we called on Messers Catterlin «| Legg who established a carriage | factory at this place less than one | year ago. They have inyested in| real estate, buildings and machinery | only about $8,000.

The total receipts for work sold and for repairs amounts to a little oyer $1,500 a month or $20,000 a year in round numbers. This is certainly a flatter- ing showing when it is remembered that they have not yet been engaged in business a whole year. No great pains has been taken to work up a trade but the demand has constantly kept ahead oftheir ability to meet it. We think the above statement is conclusive evidence that the business highly remunerative on the capital employed. If they were able to put in three or four times as much, the returns would be increased in a much larger ratio, for the greater number of hands employed the more work can be done in proportion to the force. That is why large estab- lishments can realize better returns than smaller ones. The experiment has gone far enough to convince these gentlemen they «re on the night track and they intend to stick to it and enlarge their establishment until it is suffcient to supply the trade of this part of the country. There is much in the above to en courage those who arge engaged in working up the proposed implement tactory at this place. Both depend on the patronage of the surrounding country. The nature of the sur- rounding conditions, which would conduce to the success of one, would be equally tavorable to the other, the only ditterence being that the imple- ment factory would necessarily ex- tend its sales over a larger area of territory. The raw material for both can be transported much cheap- er than the manufactured articles. Both depend on Western farmers tor custom and the result so far as tried here and elsewhere, has been satisfactory in the highest degree. Ifthe Butler carriage works em- ployed five hundred hands, they would find just as ready sale as they now do. The only difference would be that a greater extent of country must be looked after.
