C. R. HAWLEY & CO commenced business here in December, 1865.  They have a store 22 x 85, and two stories high, well filled with a complete assortment of goods in their line of trade, consisting of Dry Goods, Carpets, Boots and Shoes, Caps and Gents' Furnishing Goods. These gentleman having had a large experience in the mercantile business, know well the wants of their customers, and are amply prepared to furnish everything in their line of business as all must be convinced who visit their extensive establishment, at wonderfully low prices; their motto being "quick sales and small profits."  The attention which these gentlemen give to their business is fast winning for them a place among the best business houses of the Valley.

The business of W. H. DOWNS, was established here in February, 1865.  His store is 25 X 809, and well stocked with Boots and Shoes, and Gents' Furnishing Goods.  The stock of Boots and Shoes is the largest and best assorted in the city, as all will be convinced who visit his store, and having had a large experience in the business, he is a good judge of the articles in which he deals, and none but the best goods are purchased by him.  He employs the best work men in his custom department, and has the name of making the best of "fits".  The repairing is neatly done, and attests the superior mechanical skill of his workmen.  By his gentlemanly and fair dealing he has secured a large trade and a fair pecuniary reward.   Success to him is a foregone conclusion, which is always the reward of upright dealing.

A. DANN, proprietor of the Wolverton House, is an old landlord, having had over twenty years experience.  His table is always supplied with the best the market affords, and his customers are made to feel at home in his comfortable quarters.  Charges moderate.
