Among the many manufacturing intorests thut huvo exlubited an expausion that claim par- ticulnr attention at this time Is that of clotbing, and, among tho many firms about to be men~ tioed, ik TRIBUSE bas learned that the oldost and wost widely known in tho eity is that of LENRY W.

This houso is #o woll and favorably known among tho retail doalers of clothing all tho Westorn Btates and Toriilories, that to moro than men- tion it fn this connection would scom super- fuous. DBut, nsthos wore amoug the sulforers of tho great contlngration af 1871, and henco wero compolled to change their quarters, it maoy bo proper to give a brief desciiption of THE BUILDING TIEY NOW OCCUPY. 1t adjoins the maguiticent wholesalo kouso of J, ¥.

Toeir annual transactionn for tho vast four yests bave averaged about 0,000,000, which places thom ou the list of tho tirst clothing Louses of the city. Lheir clmfia aro selectod with & view of mect- Ing tho wants of tho Western trado, whils in tho munufscture of their goods pone but tho most oxporionced workmen aro employod, which, to- gethor with., o system of squnic-dealing, has gained for thom n roputation sccond to no other house In the city. In this connection, it may be etated that Mr. King i ono of tho oidest and best-known citizons in this community, and, as Lio hias mado bis intorests idontical withh thowo of Chicago, oud linked his fortunce with hors, thiough goad as wall ay ovil report, ho is justly entitled to tho reputation he has earned of being one of the most enterpriring men in our midet. Among the largo number of othor clothing Thouses in tho city, many of which have mbarked in business during the past few years, and which by busivess wndustry aud intogrity bavo drawn tho public eye in their direction, Is thut of GLEMENT, MOIITON a CO., who have ono of tho best locations in tha eity, being in the vory heart of the business portion, aud surrounded by the largest and most prospor- ous wholesale houses. Thig firm occupies 8 Live- story building on the southenst corner of State and Madison streots. In an architectural point of viow, thoro aro but _fow buildiogs in tho city thut ars wora magnificent or astractivo than this, Clemont, Morton & Co. ombarked in busi- neus somo cight years ago, with a copital of less than $100,000, sud go mflld bag been the expan- sion of their busincss thut its actual ipcreaso during the . past five years las boen equal to 200 per cout per anbum, and increago, thal but & vory fow houses to this city can boast of. They, incommon with othors, ancountated the losses, trials, and diiticultics re- sultiug (rom the great disastor of 1871, but even that drawback, sud the dork hours incident thereto, in no way disboartened them or choek- ed their eneigy, but, like all other enterpnsing morchants who were victims of that visitation, thoy pocketed their losses, pud their dubts, au with gonuine Chicago go-u-hoadntivenoss, they immediately commenced recoustructing their ‘busiuess und rebuild theiwr fortunes, and tho ro- sult in that, after four years of untiring industey and busivess integrity, thoy are found to-day Km of tho moat prosporous business houses in 0 cliy., ’Xlnu} omploy & capital at this timo of about three quarters of & million dollsrs, and, nnless present indications ara at fault, their business duting the presout year will largoly exceed that of anypreyvious your.
