IN PRESENTING this little volume to the citizens of Battle Creek, the pub- lishers hope that it may prove to be of some interest to its every reader, and it may be the means of giving practical information concerning the enterprising city it represents, to persons scattered throughout the coun- try seeking to know something of the city, and thus prove instrumental in bringing good to the place. With thanks to the business men and citizens of Battle Creek, for the patronage bestowed upon this enterprise, we launch this little book upon the sea of public Opinion, hoping that each person into whose hands it may fall, may find something to commend as well as to criticise.

ITS PAST, PRESENT AND PROSPECTIVE. In these days of phenomenal growth and “business booms,” too many towns and cities are judged solely by the present. A temporary excite- ment, a fictitious inflation of values, combined, sometimes, with the art- ful exertions of the real estate dealer, frequently give a town an ephemer- al prosperity, to be followed, in too many cases, by a collapse, with its corresponding disappointments, losses and depression, leaving “its last state worse than the first.” The oft-used quotation from Patrick Henry, although applied to po- litical economy, is equally true in other affairs, and there is indeed, no safer way to judge of the future than by the past, in making up our pros- pective estimate of towns and cities. In the light of its past therefore, as well as the immediate present, we invite the reader's attention to our beautiful, growing city, while we present some of its claims to the title already given it by many of its admirers, of the “Queen City of Michigan.” 8 BATTLE CREEK ILLUSTRATED. BRIEFLY HISTORICAL The settlement of Battle Creek was begun about the year 183 I, as the first dwelling house was erected in that year by Isaac Tolland, within what are now the city limits. Samuel Convis erected a log house the fol- lowing year within the “Guernsey purchase,” the original plat of Battle Creek. The water power, since developed into its present proportions, had attracted the attention of several keen-eyed prospectors, among them being Sands McComly, who had made a move to enter the tract for pur- chase at the same time with Mr. Guernsey, but relinquished the idea for a time. The earliest settlers failing to take advantage of the water pow- er, Judge McComly determined to carry out his original purpose, and in 1834 he acquired a half interest in the Guernsey tract, Mr. Convis hold- ing the other half, but relinquishing to Mr. McComly the entire control of the water power. This may properly be claimed to be the beginning of the business career of Battle Creek. A race was dug to utilize the wa- ter power, a saw mill was erected, and the year following McComly's pur- chase the hum of the saw-mill proclaimed the existence of a “live town,” which has never relinquished its claim to the title, after more than a half century's steady growth. - º § §§§: § § S l S- § lº § f § § § t; S T.

From the foregoing brief historical sketch, it will be seen that the prosperity of Battle Creek is based on no accidental circumstance of tem- porary advantage, but is solid and substantial, from the fact that the conditions of enduring prosperity are all present, and are constantly in- creasing. Its business men are public spirited, wide awake and progress- ive. Realizing that the prosperity of the city itself is contributory to that of their individual enterprises, they are always on the alert to aid and foster everything that shall advance the material interests of community at large. Its capitalists number but few of those whose chief interests are centered in speculation in corner lots. On the contrary, the readiness of the wealthier citizens to render material aid to productive industries, may be regarded as one of the important factors of the healthy growth of the the city in this direction. THE SURROUNDINGS. The surroundings of a city have much to do with its prosperity. In every direction from Battle Creek an excellent farming region is found, for the productions of which, the city affords a superior market. Sharing the business in one direction with its largest competitor for the farming trade, in others it almost monopolizes it for many miles away, and thus lays tribute upon a very large area for reciprocal interchange of products and merchandise. • * * * x - - ----- --- º - - º %º — ºf ...sº -:::::::::::::: wº º § tº º º ,g:####### - º º º º Wºffº =#. sº N / %/$$...º. *. ~º sº (Zºº zºº tº tº ºrs º! tºº ~ ºf *#A %3% 2 ºz. == IO BATTLE CKEEK ILLUSTRATED.

In this age of rapid transit, the railroad becomes a very important factor in the prosperity of a town or city. In this particular, Battle Creek is highly favored. Situated at the intersection of two great trunk lines between the east and west, with another north and south line in successful operation, its railroad facilities have long been regarded as be- ing nearly perfect. But as each additional railroad adds prosperity to a town thus situated, the business men of Battle Creek are ever on the alert to add to its railroad facilities, and as the result of their judicious fore- sight, two new railroads are already in process of construction; One, the Battle Creek & Bay City, to connect us more closely with the great lum- ber and salt interests of the Saginaw Valley, the other making a more di- rect line to the south-west, but more especially placing us in more favor- able railway communication with the farming districts to the south and south-west. In addition to these, already assured, negotiations are pending to secure several more of projected lines, some of which must eventually become tangible realities. The Michigan Central, the first railroad to bless this city by connect- ing it with the outside world of trade, has now become a part of the great highway of trade and commerce between the metropolis of the west and that of the whole country, and its numerous through daily trains be- BATTLE CREEK ILLUSTRATED. I I tween Chicago and New York afford ready communication with all points east and west. The volume of passenger traffic enjoyed by this road, has rendered necessary the erection of a new and commodious passenger sta- tion. As indicating the character of the city it represents, this elegant structure is not only a compliment to Battle Creek, but reflects great credit to the company as well. The Chicago & Grand Trunk is the outgrowth of the old Peninsular railway, built some years ago and from which great results were expected. Although for many years the road failed to meet the anticipations of its projectors, the wisdom of rendering material aid to the enterprise was made palpably evident when the road passed under the control of the Grand Trunk system and became a part of that great through line. The road was immediately put in first-class condition, relaid throughout with steel rails, and soon began to give evidence of thrift and prosperity. It became at once an active competitor with its older rival for business, with resulting benefits to the city and its interests. The Cincinnati, Jackson & Mackinaw Railroad, recently completed and put in Operation, has already proven a valuable addition to the rail- road facilities of the city. It gives a direct route from Battle Creek to Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and all points east and south. It also forms a short line between Battle Creek and Allegan, Grand Rap- ids, Grand Haven, Muskegon, and all points in western Michigan. This is the only road reaching the popular resorts of Gull Lake and Devil's Lake, to which points, special low rates will be made to parties of four or more, to Sunday Schools, etc. | | |||} 3, ... wº §% §§ £ºššíž §§ §§§ & º; º, - §ſº * | * , [..."

I 2 BATTLE CKEEK ILLUSTRATED. The following description from one of the leading newspapers of the state, seems eminently proper to be reproduced here. “I stand upon the promenade roof of a tall building that has captured the tip-top of its neighborhood, and take in the outlines of the scene. A city of fifteen thousand highly respectable people through the valley to the east and south, and elbowing hard for new room up the easy hills that give the old town a generous hug on every side, two to six miles away, and every way, with slopes and vales of its own, well-behaved fruit and grain farms that never go ‘Over the hills to the poor-house; nearer by, at the south, fair GOguac Lake; in the valley, two streams of grist-mill size that jog through town at a tumbling gait and jump into each other's arms just at the west; three streams of travel by rail, crossing each other and running both ways at Once; a half dozen school houses jostling the houses and suggesting inhabitants of civilized habits, with purpose to build the children that way too; spires enough to imply good moral character here and say amen to every upward purpose; and a family of college buildings across the street, while, Serene among the nervous and fussy dwellings of the period, some quaint old houses quietly live on their second half cen- tury, leaning upon their massive front pillars like the wrinkled pilgrims of the Revolution on their hickory walking sticks. THE LEGEND OF A NAME, and what of it? Well, in the legendary In- dian age, at the meet of the waters mentioned, Wautoga, chief of the Ottawas, whose daughter had eloped with the son of Great Elk, chief of the Pottawotamies, told Miss Duskyskin to come back into the paternal camp; whereupon she laid her hand within the bridegroom's and smiled. The wicked Wautoga retorted with his hatchet through her brain. Son- in-law quickly gathered the chieftain's scalp, and a general fight followed. And thereupon the water that flows in with Looking-glass water, or Kala- mazoo River, was no longer Waupakisco, but, in plain Yankee tongue, Battle Creek. . - And this is where we are—a city of beauty and of business, culture and conscience, having voted the Saloon a long vacation, and riding four miles of street railway. Settlement began fifty-seven years ago, and still there is a corner lot to be had. Battle Creek is in Calhoun county, cen- tral-southern Michigan, a county gifted with a good, natural, open- hearted soil, with thirty respectable lakes and a dozen streams. It is 122 miles west from Detroit, I 60 east from Chicago, on the Michigan Central the Grand Trunk, and the Cincinnati, Jackson & Mackinaw railroads, with with but very small use for a cemetery, its death-rate being the remark- able one of barely seven for each thousand inhabitants annually. Battle Creek is a New England colony. Its early settlers came from Massa- chusetts, Vermont and Maine, with many from New York. This accounts BATTLE CREEK ILLUSTRATED. \ I 3 for the air of Eastern culture and refinement, combined with Western en- ergy and thrift, and which renders this beautiful little city one of the most orderly communities in Michigan, or any other state, and a most desirable locality for a home. The rolling surface, the forests and the lakes graduate the summer of Michigan into its winter and its winter into its summer, keeping out the severely sudden shifts of heat and cold—the hot blasts and the bliz- zards of the prairie states—and creating it the fruit state of the North. In Michigan, sober folk neither freeze to death nor die of sunstroke—be- yond the exceptions that mark the rule a truth. Why, Battle Creek is five hundred feet above the sea—three hundred feet higher than Chicago, and the basement of the Sanitarium is sixty-six feet above the rivers that that drain the region. The highest climb the mercury made here last dog days was 96° F., and seldom touched 90, while Chicago Commenced on the second hun- dred, and the temperature reached 104 on the hottest days. At Mackinac and Marquette the thermometer stood above a hundred in the shade. In this breezy place the thermome- ter rarely reaches ninety. As in other parts of Central Michigan, the winters are like- wise milder than in the adjacent States, being tempered by the Surrounding waters of the great lakes. The blizzards sometimes advertised by the weather clerk to reach this protected region from the Northwest, always break their backbones on Lake Michi- gan, and do not arrive at all, or in so dilapidated a condition as to be unrecognizable. Battle Creek is not Florida, Colorado or California, but their mean, which seems to have in it the gold of good health for the poor health that can find it any- where, and the artificial clim- ate conjured at will within the generous walls, calls to mind either the states by the Sea Or under Pike's Peak.” …' I4. BATTLE CREEK ILLUSTRATED. TPT) e Sarılitari-L1 rºrºl. No write-up of Battle Creek could be considered complete without a somewhat extended mention of this great health resort. The original Sanitarium was a small affair opened in 1866 on the water-cure plan, the thought of the founders being to treat the sick chiefly with water and a regulated diet. It was regularly incorporated and the money furnished by several hundred stockholders in shares of $25 each, each certificate of stock con- taining a proviso that the holder never should receive any dividends, but that all the profits should go for improvement in facilities and for the care of the sick poor. This provision continues until this day. The real pur- pose or hope of the enterprise was to promote sanitary reforms in all di- rections. It was about the time that this Institution was launched, that the advocates of oatmeal, graham flour, Cracked wheat, and other cereal preparations first came to the front; and that agitation had something to do with the origin of this Institution, as at that time there was much pop- ular opposition to these excellent and now universally used foods. Twelve years ago the Institution consisted of the small wooden main building and four or five cottages tenanted by some thirty-five people in quest of new stomachs, livers, brains, etc., and about twenty-five doc- tors and employes. By the following spring the little buildings had over- flowed, and it became evident that larger accommodations must be had, and in the course of the next year the larger portion of the present main building was erected at a cost of a little more than one hnndred thousand dollars. The increase in patients was so rapid that when the building was completed in the early spring of 1878, every floor was occupied, and at no time since has there been any surplus room. The Institution, with the added room of the fifteen cottages at pres- ent occupied, will accommodate about four hundred people. About two hundred attendants are kept busy, including physicians, nurses and bath attendants, the medical corps numbering more than one hundred. The free hospital will contain one hundred and seventy-five beds. The charity work of the Institution amounts to $10,000 to $12,000 a year, and will be more with increased facilities. An average number of twenty-five charity patients have been treated during the past year. The surgical work has greatly outgrown the present quarters, and the new building, which will be chiefly devoted to patients of this class, will be partly devoted to paying patients of the surgical class. The original capital stock of the Institution was less than forty thous- and dollars, and the present investment in the entire equipment of the -- J” & BATTLE CREEK ILLUSTRATED. I 5 Institution is something more than three hundred thousand dollars. Upward of twenty thousand persons have been treated here, and the death-rate has averaged below three per year. Of six hundred important Surgical cases, only six died. This is attributable not merely to good sur- gery, but to the aseptic conditions secured, and to the superior transpose conditions with which the hospital wards, and the skill of the nurses, sur- round the patient after the operation. § *º 2. - Sº º sº w/º: tº ºve - tºº º tº º º º a.º. * ºn 8 º > 5 : sº sº.º.º. wº º gºš ... .º. ºf S55 *- s= t º Yºº § ¥2.2 ſº º º º #& 㺠º View. of.

A mile north-east, in sight from the upper stories, is located the farm of 160 acres, where they have a dairy of thirty fine cows. and rear between three and four thousand chickens each year, with ducks and turkeys in proportion. From one thousand to twelve hundred bushels of strawberries, raspberries, etc., are grown every year. There are three ladies and five gentlemen on the medical staff of the Sanitarium, all educated in the best regular schools of medicine. Dr. Kellogg and his associates believe in and practice rational medicine, which recognizes no universal principle of Cure, but makes use of every remedy which science brings to light and experience proves to be of service in the relief of human suffering, or the cure of disease. The aim has been to make the Institution represent in the most complete form, the most ad- I 6 BATTLE CREEK ILLUSTRATED. vanced type of rational medicine. It is by no means a Water Cure. It does not discard medicinal remedies, but uses any remedy of known sci- entific value. The officers are J. H. Kellogg, president; J. Fargo, vice-president; G. H. Murphy, treasurer; W. H. Hall, secretary and steward; Mrs. L. M. Hall, matron; Rev. L. McCoy, Chaplain. | i º § | º g- § | º: #E º º Jº. Hiſtºrintif #|| #!

Battle Creek College was founded in 1874 by the Seventh-day Ad- ventist Educational Society, and was duly incorporated in the same year. It is a denominational institution, designed especially to prepare young people for usefulness in the cause of God. While others may share the benefits of its instruction, and the moral and religious influences connect- ed with it, the primary objects for which it was founded should never be forgotten. Its managers aim to make moral and religious influences very prominent, and thoroughness of instruction, solidity of character, and usefulness in life, the principal objects of attainment. They hope to have a school where the fear of God will prevail, where his Holy Word will be reverenced, and where his worship will be respected; where the young will receive discipline and instruction which will qualify them for the bat- tle of life, and make them a benefit to their fellow-men. Such as desire to be in harmony with these objects, are heartiiy invited to attend. The fine engraving of the College and grounds shown no opposite page, will convey a very correct idea of the appearance of the institution. The Medical and Surgical Sanitarium stands just across the street from the College. Its attractive grounds are in full view from the College buildings and add much to the beauty of the location. The College is situated on a fine eminence in the western part of the city, and though within the city limits, is so far removed from the busi- ness center, that the student can pursue his studies, unmolested by the hum and stir of business activity. The Library consists of about I, 3OO volumes, and new books are being added constantly. The student finds this medium of information valuable for research in the different branches of study. In connection with the Library is a Reading-Room, supplied with secular and religious papers and magazines for the use of the students. The faculty consists of fifteen instructors, thoroughly skilled in their respective departments, and whose thorough work has given the College the high standing it now enjoys. it. There are 425 students in the various departments, and the annual cost of tuition per student, is only $35. The grounds, buildings, apparatus, etc., are valued at $104,293.68, and the current expenses for the year are $25, OOO, 2O 1BATTLE CREEK ILLUSTRATED. - NEWSPAPERS. The Press has much to do with the progress and upbuilding of any town or city, and in this respect, Battle Creek has been most highly fa- vored.

The Battle Creek Journal, published daily and weekly, is the old- est paper in the city, and has long been recognized as one of the leading and most influential journals in the interior of the state. The Weekly was established in 1851, and the Daily in 1872, the two editions collect- ively having a considerably larger circulation than any other paper in the county. Since 1867, it has been owned and edited by its present propri- etor, Hon. George Willard, under whose control it has steadily extended its patronage and influence. While it has been enterprising in the col- lection of local and general news, it has never sacrificed truth to sensa- A BATTLE CREEK ILLUSTRATED. 2 I tionalism, and has therefore secured to itself a reputation for reliability, Second to none in Michigan, and has become the standard local newspaper among the farmers in a wide circuit. - THE JOURNAL is Republican in politics, and while it has always treat- ed public questions with a commendable degree of independence, gives a Cordial support to the cardinal principles of the Republican party, and to the policy of the present administration. A well equipped job office is conducted in connection witth the paper. --~~~~ º: #:--> g º }. º:- ===£5:#E=::==== º - tº- º- *...' - =====<-ºº: - ---> sº-Tº-e?" ------'º --> =====Elºğ: =ºtº - - -*- Š=s=s==2}} .

The Battle Creek Daily Moon was started upon an exceedingly small financial capital, and a large amount of pluck, some ten years ago. The aim of this journal has been to give the local news, and its success, is in itself, a full endorsement of the tireless endeavor of the editor, Mar- tin E. Brown. Today, the MOON boasts of the largest circulation of any paper in the county, by over half. It is the recognized authority on all city transactions, and has outgrown its quarters several times, until it now occupies one of the best offices in the city, and is constantly adding to its complete outfit, all that the demands of the business require. BATTLE CREEK ILLUSTRATED. 2 2 It has a large job printing establishment connected with its outfit, and turns out the most artistic work upon the very shortest notice. All departments are in the hands of competent foremen, and the many able features, so well managed, combine to make the paper the leading one of the city, while its influence is felt throughout Calhoun County. THE MOON will keep up with the times and head the literary proces- sion in the future as it does at present. Its aim, is to give the news fear- lessly, reliably and constantly.

BATTLE CREEK ILLUSTRATED. 23 BUSINESS INTEREST.S. The business interests of Battle Creek are extensive and diversified. The manufacturing and mercantile interests are very large, and serve to give the city its well known reputation as a city of business. Among the manufacturing establishments, the most extensive are the NICHOLS, SHEPARD & CO., and ADVANCE THRESHER WORKS, both of which are very extensive concerns, giving employment to a large number of hands, and sending their productions all over the world. UNION SCHOOL FURNITURE COMPANY. Among the foremost of the industrial concerns of the city of Battle Creek, with its historic little river, beautiful streets and shade trees, ele- gant homes, substantial business blocks, and busy shops, is the Union School Furniture Company. Organized in 1879, it began business in limited quarters and on a small scale. It was not long, however, before its increasing business de- manded a better location and larger buildings, and accordingly, the works were removed to their present location in the heart of the city, at the ºwºlſºlilºllinº º Wºº asº K º * § \\\\". * - - % ...?. 2' z º º ZZ $3 * | *Tºº # º & #s § i ºº; º § Sºº - R -º §§ ºrºg sº §§ § º §ºg ºf § #: :----. * tº: * *** -v º ſtº - sº - Wºº £ºº'ſ Hºº ºf §M. lift ...; Sºś - gº.sº - º É- ; Fº § § § º: - G º: ºrrº - --- 5 * * ºś #.

Here, two years later, the entire works were totally destroyed by fire, but they were at Once rebuilt on a more extensive scale than before. Although comparatively young, the growth of this concern has been so rapid, and yet so healthy, that it now takes rank with the most exten- sive institutions of its kind in the country. º sº ſº º # º º-" + º º B -*. §§§ § Il FE- * * * i. i t . . .

For many years folding seats had been used for school purposes, all of essentially the same construction, and with many serious objections. It remained for the Union School Furniture Company to introduce an improved school seat, which by its great advant- ages, at once commended itself to the public and secured for its makers their phenomenal success. Closely connected with the sale of school furniture, is the handling of school supplies, which naturally followed. This Company now manu- $ BATTLE CREEK ILLUSTRATED. 25 factures a large line of important specialties, including crayons, charts, shades, slate, etc., etc. They are also extensive importers of maps and other school aids. They have exclusive control of the sale in this coun- try, of the justly celebrated T. Ruddeman Johnston's series of maps, and the “Swartha" charts of physiology, both of which are having a very large sale, Of late, this Company have added to their extensive business, the manufacture of office desks, and Bank and Court House furniture. They now stand among the leading makers in this line. Their first job of any considerable size in this department, was completed in 1887, and yet, since that time, they have furnished several government buildings, many court houses, and a large number of banks all over the country. The work turned out, is of the highest grade in every particular, and consequently gives the best of satisfaction. The entire business of the Company is steadily on the increase. Al- ways managed with tact and skill, it cannot fail, in the future as in the past, to be a credit to itself and to the city. º ** *.Nº Kºš º § Ø º § §§ * º º - º Sº º § º º sº . s º lº 㺠NS N t ºš º & * * A Rºº § §§§ \\ S - N & wº r & Sº U º/Kºš - º º _º. - º --- -- D. #######: - N *.* º * -:-rº sº. t is tº ~ C r - - W --~~ * Fº • Sº º #º s' : º º §: - º: Žº § § # E. : :" ºr #; # º § 'ºſſ ſº ºff. # * # ºšº §§ Bºx : i.; º §§ *Tºº. # #||28 bºss º wº- W - N v. - - º º º: º º # ſ 2 *-i-wº- in * 2: # º- t ... ; . . . .'' rº, ºr ºn | sº ſº - tº: ºs-AE ºff ºil; ºšć:# --> -º "ºº-º-º- ºft; ºº::33:33.

HOFFMASTER’s Great Double Store. Dry Goods & Carpets. See engraving on Opposite page. This business establishment, of which Battle Creek may justly be proud, was started in 1872, by Charles Austin and P. Hoffmaster, under the firm name of Austin & Hoffmaster, in the room which is the present east store. The business prospered from the start, and its large increase Soon necessitated the procuring of additional room, and in 1879 the firm rented 40 feet of the rear of the adjoining store, and thought their facili- ties would be equal to the demands of their business for a long time, but in 1882 they were obliged to secure the balance of the second store. In 1884 Mr. Hoffmaster purchased the interest of his partner, since which time he has conducted the entire business, and by his untiring en- ergy and close attention to all the details of his business, it is constantly increasing. In 1887 he secured the present carpet room, an additional 50 foot store, and he has also fitted up and stocked the basement, a reom 25 by IOO feet, so that he now has 350 feet in length of store room, 25 feet wide. All these different rooms are continually stocked with the choicest goods in his line, in such great variety, that the customer cannot fail to be suited in style and quality, while his prices are always as low as good goods can be sold. His Cloak department is made a special feature of his business; and is always filled with the latest and most approved styles. By keeping a Stock in this department equal to what is usually found in large cities, he is reaping his reward in a large and profitable trade in this line. His Dress Goods department occupies a large part of one store, and is literally full of fine goods for ladies' wear. He always has the newest styles as soon as they appear in the market, and his customers appreciate the fact that they can be sure of finding what they want as soon as each season's style appears. To enumerate the various styles of goods kept in this department, would be impossible in the limits of this article. We might fill several pages, and yet, if you looked through the store, you might exclaim “the half has not been told.” His large business furnishes employment to from 16 to 18 clerks and employes, who are prompt, cheerful assistants, always ready to promote their employer's interests. r Mr. Hoffmaster's intimate acquaintance with all the details of the Dry Goods and Carpet trade, his untiring energy, and the hold he has upon the confidence of the people of Battle. Creek, assure him a long and successful business career. 3O BATTLE CREEK ILLUSTRATED. - 11 at ri tº mi º §§ Sºlº w º tº ºº: b | - * º ; - ; § i ºš |Šºš Sº º ºr. gº 8 -- **w §§§ º lºv | | º º: | ift||||}=} º | || º t } ! es §§§ ------- ɺššš. º Nº. §§§ s §º |-- #ſº sº ºr 3.

Commencing as they did, on a very small scale, it has grown steadily, until its trade is now, well established over many of the adjoining counties. This house makes a specialty of all kinds of Garden Seeds in bulk, sold only by ounce, pound, or bushel. Another point of advantage is that they handle only seeds of North- ern growth, hence they have a vigorous growth, seldom found in other seeds. They also handle large quantities of Clover, Timothy, Ensilage. Corn, and other Field Seeds, Garden Implements, etc. FRALICH & KAPP, Clothing and Furnishing Goods. This house carries an extensive assortment of Men's, Boys, and Youth's Clothing and Furnishing Goods, and are selling at the most moderate prices, and as a natural consequence, are enjoying a very fine trade. They are quick to purchase all the novelties as soon as they appear in the market, as well as the best standard goods, and are thus enabled to offer the best bargains to their patrons, at the earliest possible time after the styles are in the market. Their stock is always kept full and of the best selections in Clothing, from common to the finest, and customers can rely on the lowest prices. WM. C. GAGE & SON, Printers, Engravers and Electrotypers. One of the most extensive and finely equipped printing houses in Central Michigan, is the one whose imprint has become so familiar to the travel- ing public, from the large amount of Railway advertising matter issued from their establishment. Beginning business five years ago on a small scale, this concern, by the rapid increase of its facilities to meet the de- mands of a growing business, has three times enlarged its borders to make room for new presses, type, electrotyping machinery, etc. It is needless to add that a superior grade of work has been an important factor in its marvelous growth. They make a specialty of large Contracts, frequently issuing pam- phlets and railroad folders, numbering from 50, OOO, to 200, OOO copies. The general business department is in charge of the senior partner, who has been a practical printer for more than a quarter of a century . much of the time at he head of large establishments both east and west. Fred. W. looks after the “spreading of ink” in the press-room, while Frank H. presides over the electrotype department; being a skillful elec- trician as well as a practical electrotyper. Few firms in Battle Creek have come to the front as rapidly as this, and none are more deserving of a fairly earned business success. 36 BATTLE CREEK ILLUSTRATED, ſº.º. tº §§§ { ** º - A ſº * @ º ſ Sº sº sº Ns as * - º . º a 2. tº § º *º º: §º Cº. wº º, , " * , º "tº lººks: " " ' ". . . . . .
