The Swift Manufacturing Company Pho
tographed.
Ytnntr Head* a»d Active Bralne that Manage the
IniitltntloB—The floods They Hake and Where
They are Sold—Home of the Most Beautiful Fab
rics In the World Manufactured by thla Mill.
Among the ooloasal enterprises with which
«Oolumbne abounds there is not one that is
further known, or which oocupies a more promi
nent position in the public eye, than the 8wift
Manufacturing Company. It owes its origin and
continued success to two men, whose indomit
able will-power and work-power and executive
capacity are as tireless as the great engine that
turns their acres of machinery. We refer to the
president of the company, Mr. W. A. Swift, and
to the secretary and treasurer, Mr. G. M. Wil
liams. Mr. Swift is a man of the stamp that
develop a country, that build up a city, and that
teach the people by example instead of
precept, that the resources of the south, if devel
oped judiciously, will make it a section not even
•econd to the historic Oanaan of the Jews. He
has worked and planned assiduously and wisely
for the success of the company and the enterprise
over which he presides, and the eloquent echo of
his success Is heard in the hum of a thousand
spindles.
Mr. G. M. Williams, the secretary and treasurer
of the Swift Manufacturing Company, is a man
to whom this community is indebted for much of
the push, enterprise and brains which is fast
making Columbus one of the great manufactur
ing centres of the country. Mr.
Williams grasps the details of the
most complicated affairs at a single glance, and
with him to see is to act. Every hand and loom
and spindle and wheel in this vast superstructure
may be almost said to move under the range of
his restless eye, and every detail of the business
passes daily under his scrutiny. With him where
he is, the Swift Manufacturing Company can but
continue in its upward course.
A glance at the details of the company’s plant
and outfit will not be amiss. The Swiff Manu
facturing Company’8 plant consists of two of the
largest brick structures in the state, one
having one and the other four
stories. The horse power of the machinery is
225. There are 278 looms, making checks, plaids
and cottouades. twenty-four looms making bed
spreads, and thirty more making window cur
tains, the grand total being 318 looms. To these
looms constant additions are being made, and
the number is rapidly approximating 400. The
company has recently bought a new slasher,
which, with the one already on
hand, turns off about five hundred
•cuts per day. There are cities claiming to be
manufacturing towns in which the entire busi
ness does not exceed that of the Swift Manufac
turing Company, which employes about 300
hands and from whose pay roll proceeds more
than a thousand mouths are fed. To walk amid
the hum of this many storied building, throbbing
with steam and alive with looms, makes one feel
as if he stood in a city of brick and iron, which
was itself one vast municipal mechan
ism. And to look upon the
warp of the checks as it unrolls from
the huge cylinders wound with blue and white,
which slowly disappears in the slasher, one
cannot resist the imaginative conception that
some unseen magi is spinning threads from the
alternate billows of a blue and white mosaic
ocean. The mills of the Swift Manufacturing
Company are kept running with a frill force on full
time,and the orders they get from every part of the
onion increase so rapidly that it is with difficulty
that they can supply the demand for their goods.
One feature of this institution proves that its
work is honored—unpTophet-like—la its own
'country, inasmuch as the company has a large
sale for its goods right here in Columbus. Where
their goods once find their way no merchant will
be without them. Their trade extends to all
sections of this broad land and it requires no
extra # xertions on their pari to effect a sale.
(The goods hew their own way to the front, for
excellence in any line of articles is soon discov
ered and appreciated by the alert mesehante of
to-day.
There are few larger establishment* in the
south than this, and there is not one north or
south conducted on more complete business
principles, or that tnras ont better goods. They
are utterly impervious to the fow and invulner
able to the harm of competition by any mill or
anybody anywhere. Columbus is justly proud of
this great establishment, proud of its goods,
proud of its reputation, and proud of the two
men, Messrs. Swift and Williams, who have
made it what it is.
In Columbus now, and in fact all over the
onion, the show windows of dry good stores are
adorned by displays of the patent Mitcheline
bedspreads made by the Swift Manufacturing
Company. No one can imagine, without seeing
•them, how exquisite the beauty of these goods,
which represent the highest perfection of ar
tistic weaving. We say artistic for the reason
ihat tie most beautiful designs of flowers, con
sisting of roses, lilies, orange blossoms, gerani
ums, etc., are first drawn in charming combi
nations and the exact counterpart of each is re
produced in the cloth. We see the leaves with
'every vein depicted, the full blown rose and the
bursting bnd, the graceful climbing vines, and
even Cupid with his bow and quiver resting and
•porting among the branches. The deeigns are
•o numerous that it would be quit* impos
sible to describe them all in detail.
Hut one deserve* special mention, It is a copy
from a design by Walter Crane, a very distin
guished English artist and a noted illustrator of
books. It was mad* by him as a model for the
interior decoration ofa millionaire'■ house to be
carved in rose wood- We notice in it cockatoos
perched upon graceful boughs, and peacocks
•standing in royal dignity among the branches;
cherubs, with wings extended, idling the happy
hoars away and holding from one to another fee-
toons of flowers; in another place a handsome lit
tle fellow, with curling hair and covered by
I nothing but nature’s garb, sits holding the bead
of Comedy, while another below him is fondling
the head of Medusa. Prominent in the design is
the cornucopia filled with luscious fruit of all
kinds, while on either side stands the pine-
apple tree topped with its delicious
fruit so typical of a southern clime. In the
centi we notice a beautiful basket of flowers, and
near them clusters of grapes, while below these
are shocks of wheat, Itnd on them the sickle is
carelessly thrown which has cut the golden
grain. All these figures, so numerous and so
different, are so happily blended with arabesque
Work that it makes a picture of perfect harmony
and pleasing effect. To get this design ready for
the loom required a month’s work of artistic
labor and skill of the highest order. In no part
of America has this character of work ever before
been attempted. Such goods have heretofore been
imported from England at a very’ high price.
These designs, if worked in silk, would be worth
their weight in gold and would class with
tapestry in beauty of execution.
A novel feature of the Swift Manufacturing
Company’s articles are the many and elegant de
igns of window curtains now beinar made by
them, .T}««.3v* c4iU:. t s u&b^ce ill fLo hucJ of
•he prism, and the colors are fadeless and
More stylish and more rich looking cur
tains are net made for the same price anywhere
in the world. The designs axe in imitation of dam
ask and lace, and are fit to be hung in a palace.
The checks, cottonades, bedspreads, quilts, cap
tains aud other goods which conic from the
Swift factory are in demand from Maiue to
Tcxab, and their sales arc not bound by any geo
graphical line. The company is a blessing to the
stockholders, to the merchants who patronise it,
to the hundreds srho live by the wages it pays
and to the great public that buy aud use its
goods.
AN ARTISAN IN ABT.
A Model and Progressive Printing Establishment.
One of the Most Enterprising Printers In the
State—What He is Doing In Ills Line.
About three years ago Mr. John 8. Stewart
hung out his shingle as a job printer. He began
business on his own account with experience as
his largest stock in trade, he having been at the
head of a job printing establishment for several
years. He began business with limited resources,
but with a pluck and vim worthy of success he
pressed on, working when necessary night and
day to push his business. His little office
gradually grew, his patronage expanded
from month to month, until we find
him now with one of the most perfectly equipped
job printing offices to be found in the south,
supported by a large and constantly growing
business. Perhaps in no department of art and
mechanical ingenuity has a more marked im
provement been manifested than in the line of
artistic printing. While there are still many
people who do not know the difference bet ween a
"botch job” and an artistic piece of workman
ship, the taste of a majority of patrons
has been developed to such an extent
that they can at a glance de
tect the superiority of a good piece os type printr
ing over inferior and imperfect lithography. Mr.
Stewart has helped not a little to elevate the
public taste in this direction by the superior ex-
! cellence of his workmanship, and to do ho he has
I had necessarily to incur much expense to keep
| up with all modern improvements in the “art
! preservative.”
j The business of Mr. Stewart has grown until he
has recently been forced to add another press to
his job* department. He now has throe presses
which are kept constantly in operation and run
by one of the most perfect caloric engines in the
country. This handsome moter does its work
perfectly. He has also recently increased his
stock of matarial, as well aspresses and type, and
he is now able to compete with any city in Geor
gia in first-class commercial and miscellaneous
printing.
Stewart’s job office is headquarters for bill and
letter heads, which are gotten up with the most
artistic taste. In the way of visiting cards, busi
ness cards, wedding cards and cards of any kind
he cannot be excelled, and his printing is hand
somely done. He gets up circulars, posters,
dodgers and commercial printing of any kind
with as much taste, dispatch and as cheap as
any house in Georgia. He gives his personal at
tention to his business, all orders are attended to
promptly, and he guarantees satisfaction in every
particular.
Mr. Stewart’s office is located on Twelfth street,
between Broad street and First avenue. One
rarely finds a printing office more conveniently
arranged nor with more skill and taste with re
gard to comfort and convenience. Stewart is a
live man and does not intend to be left.
COLUMBUS BAKKUY.
The Best Cook and the Best Eatables in America.
The Colnmbus Bakery is located on Tenth
street, between Broad and First avenue. Mr. H.
F. Everett is the proprietor, and has spared no
pains or expense to supply his customers with the
very best breads and cakes that the science and
art of baking brought to its latest perfection can
produce. The materials used by him are always
wholesome and of the very best quality. His
supplies in that line are always fresh.
In order to reach perfection in baking, and to
have hid goods always of a uniform quality, he
has recently imported from Switserland a gentle
man—Mr. Albvis Fediori, who has given to that
business the best energies of his life, and he be
lieves him to be the best baker in America.
Bread and cakes ef all kinds can be supplied at
ony time in any quantity. He keejv also a gen
eral stock of confectioneries, the freshest not*
and the purest of candies, and any and every
thing good and sweet that can in anywise please
the taste or tickle the palate.
He also keeps all kinds of fruits tn their sea
son, both foreign and domestic. In order that
the public may be supplied with everything that
is good and rare in this line, he watches all the
distant markets, and allows nothing to escape
his attention.
In holiday season his popular store will be
headquarters for all the Juveniles, where they
can be supplied with unlimited quantities of fire
works and all kinds of toys that can in any way
amuse or delight.
His motto Is, "That the merchant who buys
judiciously and at low figures can please his cus
tomers both in the quality and price of his
goods.” All orders will be promptly filled, and
all goods to be transported will be securely
packed. Mr.Everettw.il give his personal at
tention to the business, and with his promptness
and energy and determination to please, no cus
tomer will have occasion to eave his store unsat
isfied as to his wants, and when once he has tried
him will seek no further.

Life and Activity 1* an Inporlait Indsstry—What
the Columbus Fertiliser Company ire Doing and
How They are Doing It—The Best and Cheapest
Fertiliser thst the Firmer Css Obtain.
The Enquirer-Sun has never failed to place a
proper valuation on all important enterprises
started in Columbus and in Georgia. And this
idea suggests itself most forcibly in making men
tion of the meritorious works of the Columbus
Fertilizer Company. Like all the other Colum
bus enterprises, their entire capital and officers
are Georgians,and they have worked with Colum
bus brains, Columbus pluck, and have accom
plished much that is valuable for the farmers of
this country. Such an institution as this is worth
more than a passing notice, as it is in the hands
of the leading business men of Columbus and is
one of the leading manufacturing institutions in
this section of the country. A short history of
its inauguration will be interesting.
THB COLUMBUS PRRTILIBBR COMPANY
was formed about three years ago, with a capital
stock of $100,000. Judge W. H. Brannon was
chosen president, and Col. H. Bussey general
manager. The company was organized for the
purpose of manufacturing theHome Mixed Guano
and Acid Phosphate,” which has proved to be the
best fertilizer that the farmers anywhere in this
section have ever used on their farms. They have
erected an elegant building near the railroad
track, and just below the Mobile and Girard
bridge.
THE BUILDING
is 180x70 feet, running alongside the track, with
a platform upon which to receive material and to
ship the products. It is supplied with water
from the water works aud is arranged fer the ut
most convenience. No more favorable locat ion
for transportation facilities could have been se
lected. They own seventeen acres of land sur
rounding the factory with a river front. They
have their own wharf where steamboats are
loaded with guano to be shipped along the river
and contiguous country. They also own railway
side tracks, and cars are loaded and unloaded at
the warehouse door. In the store room they
have large quantities of material for the manu
facture of the
HOME MIXTURE OUANO.
Among other things they use cotton seed meal,
acid phosphate, bones, together with nitrate of
soda, sulphate of ammonia, and muriate of pot
ash. The capacity of the mills is about 200 tons
in t wenty-four hours. They employ on an aver
age about thirty hands for regular day work, but
when they run night and day the number of
hands is increased to about forty-five. During
the ensuing season they will manufacture be
tween 0000 and 8000 tons of guano In this they
will use 1500 tons of cotton seed meal, 4000 tons
of acid phosphate and 200 tons of bones. Thus
it may be seen that the body of the guano is acid
phosphate and cotton seed meal.
TUB MACHINERY USED
is of the newest and most improved kind, driven
by one of Ainslie, Cochran & Co’s forty-five horse
power Exposition engines, with a 12x24 cylinder
and twenty-four inch stroke and ten feet fly
wheel. The engine is supplied with water from
the water works, and the coal, wood and other
fuel is dumped from the cam into the bin near
the engine room. In the manufacture of the
guano the bones go into the crusher and from
there are carried to the second story in an
elevator where they are turned into a screen and
silted. If any pieces are too large to pass
through the screen, the machinery is so ar
ranged as to send them hack to the crusher,
where they go through a similar process
as at first. That which is properly
prepared goes down to the scales and into a sack
ready for weighing. It is all dons by machinery
except the first handling of ths bones in putting
them Into the hopper. Tbs Home Mixture Gu
ano is mixed in the same way, and when it is
ready for ths sacks must, of necessity, be perfect.
A*
A STANDARD VXRTIL1SKR
it has no superior, judging from the manner in
which the farmers, who ore in every senes reli
able, Mtify to its superiority. The Wet, most
practical and most experienced fanners in nil
this section tell m that they consider it the very
best fertiliser that they can obtain, and they say
this after careful experiments in comparison
with other standard and well-known fertilizers.
THB ACID PHOSPHAT*
sold by this company, is all made of select phos
phate rock and treated with the very strongest
sulphuric acid that can be made. The company
could get only one concern to take their contract
to fhrnish the material for it, so string was the
contract and so high the grade of the material to
be furnished. These fertilisers are sold nnder a
guaranteed analysis of 14 per cent of available
phosphoric acid. In this connection it must be
remembered that the laws of the state require an
analysis of only 10 per cent, of phosphoric acid.
A8 TO ITS VALUE
it needs no telling that it is all, and more, than is
claimed for it. It i8 well known that all acid
phosphates are purchased by dealere on their
unit value. If the planters will calculate a little,
they will discover that the phosphate of this
company is cheaper at a third more price than
other phosphates sold in the market. At two
dollars per unit, a 10 per cent, phosphate shou d
se 1 for $20; and that of the Columbus Fertilizer
Company at $28, besides a saving in cartage and
freight. The company guarantees the following
and prints it on every sack:
Ammonia 2 to S per cent.
Soluble Phosphoric Acid 7 to 10 percent.
Reverted Phosphoric Acid 2 to 8 per cent.
Insoluble Phosphoric Acid 2 to 8 per cent.
Potash (K.O.) \y> to 3 per cent.
Available Phosphoric Acid 9 to 18 per cent.

THE FERTILIZER MADE
by this company is the best that is manufactured j
anywhere in all this country, and it has proved ]
to be the superior of the Peruvian guano. There j
is not one particle of dirt in the Home Mixture i
guano, and it is as honestly made as it is possible ;
for cotton seed meal, acid phosphate, nitrate of |
soda, sulphate of ammonia,muriate of potash and ,
bones to make. This is what the fertilizer is com- j
posed of, and from the manner in which every
thing is arranged and conducted at the
mill, we say to all our readers that ,
it is all that is claimed for it, !
and that there is no more probability that in
ferior sacks of it can be found than there is in a
sock of flour from the same lot of wheat and
sacked from the same bin. Every man knows
exactly what he gets, and wherever he finds a
sack oi the Home Mixture Guano, with the Co- ;
lumbus Fertilizer Company’s brand upon it, he ,
may rest assured that it is just as good and pure j
as if he had stood by and ordered it made. The ;

this institution is enough within itself to gu a ran- I

TUBES OUT TWENTY TON*.
The Daily f aparlty of the Coliaibas lee ul Me*
frlgerstlBg Company--What is Belag Deae by
Oae ef Oar Lives! I nett lalioae- Where They
Bead Their lee.
Artificial ice ranks among the dlacoveife* of
the century. Its appearance marked an epoch.
It has come into our long, hot, dusty southern
summers like the cool breath of a mountain
morning, with vitality in its touch and healing
in its wings. Ice lias ceased to be a luxury—it is
a necessity. Necessities should be cheap. "Cheap
ice” is the cry that comes up with Macedonian
earnestness from every city now. But Columbus
was answered before she cried. The Columbus
Ice and Refrigerating Company filled the want
before It was "long felt.”
Realizing that such an institution would be at
once a paying investment to the stockholders
and a blessing to the city, a number of our lead
ing business men and capitalists organized this
oompany, and ever since its incipiency it has
been freezing water into gold and silver. The
following are the officers of the company:
Dr. N. P. Banks, president.
G. M. Williams, treasurer.
Dlrectore-John Hill, A. Illges, G. P. Swift, Jr.,
G. M. Williams, E. 8 McEochren,Dr. N. P. Banks.
The capital stock is $60,000. There are two ma
chines in the factory, each having
a capacity of ten tons a day.
The directors have recently authorized the put
ting up of another ten-ton machine in the fac
tory, which will increase its capacity to 60,000
pounds of ice per day. The machinery of the
Columbus Ice and Refrigerating Company is the
very best that is made, and it makes the best ice
that can be had in the markets of tho world—ice
that is clear, pure and free from all chemicals.
The factory has been in constant operation rince
it was built, not missing a day. Even in mid
winter, when Jack Frost and Borens are freezing
thousands of square miles of water every
day, the Columbus factory runs on ftill time, as if
it had no competitor in the business. The com
pany ships two car loads of ice u week to Atlanta
and two to Montgomery, besides shipments by
the car load to Griffin and other points in Georgia
and Alabama too numerous to mention. If
every enterprise in Columbus were patronized us
continuously, and did a business as unfluctuating
as the "Ice and Refrigerator Company” there
would be no complaint from one year’s end to
another.
The rates charged are as cheap as any factory
or ice dealer in the country can afford to charge.
They are twenty-five cents a hundred to all deal
ers, and fifty cents a hundred by retail in any
quantity desired.
The Columbus Ice and Refrigerating Company
is one of our pro bono publico establishments. It
lives and acts up to its motto, " keep cool,” and
it is bound to be a fixture among us as long as
the revolving so;. :ons bring the blistering heat
and peppery dust of summer.
By the benefit of its presence in our midst even
those of the smallest means are enab'ed t-o enjoy
the comforts and health of ice and iced bever
ages, when if the city depended upon lake or
manufactured ice shipped from other points,
these luxuries would be beyond their reach.
This company is most emphatically a blessing to
every class and condition of our people. We
cannot estimate its benefits unless it should be
removed or destroyed. And on the principle
of encouraging home institutions, ns well as on
the principle of a selfish and local interest at
stake, it is the duty of the people of Columbus to
patronize the Icc«ind Refrigerator Company "as
much as in them lies.” We are confident that
this will be done, and that this company will
continue to be a convenience and a blessing to
every citizen of Columbus, as well as a paying in
vestment to the big-souled men who built it as
much for a public blessing as a private enter
prise.
JBWI&HT PALACE.
Ike Flae fleets ee Fxhlbltle* atfteheaabvrt’e.
The jewelry palaces of this city will compare la
richness and magahieenee with the best ia the
south. For costliness of stock and splendor of
display they are scarcely rivaled anywhere.
Among the leading jewelers of Columbus is Mv.
C. Schomburg. His stock of clocks and watches
is large, first class and cheap. He keeps the cor
rect time under all circumstances, and if there
are no circumstances, he keeps it anyhow.
Neither flood nor famine nor earthquake can
break the corsectneos of Bchomburg's time. When
it gets so dark you can’t see how to think 8chom-
burg’n time-pieces still have the right time of
night.
Mr. Schomburg also deals in diamonds, bronse
goods, and every variety of jewelry. He keeps
the finest assortment of opera glasses ever
brought south, ranging in price from the cheap-
e t up to sixty dollars. The line of gold and sil
ver watches kept by Mr. Schomburg cannot be
surpassed in the south. He keep* also a full line
of artistic plate ware, the prettiest ever brought
to this market. He keeps the world-renowned
pebble spectacles and eye-glasses, warranted to
fit any eye, besides bracelets, rings, pins and
everything wanted.
Mr. Schomburg’s long experience makes him a
connoisseur in his line, and his judgment in mat- j
ters pertaining to the species of goods in which !
he deals is sound and trustworthy. Although
not very wealthy he is surrounded by a profusion
of gold, silver a*d diamonds, and he can point
ont the road to success for others. He is pos
sessed of an energy that does not give way to
discouragements nor quail before opposition. He
has learned much by experience and can readily
distinguish between the bogus in nature as well
as in art. If you want the best of time-keepers
call on Schomburg. It jewelry is what you are
looking for, you will find at his store a good
stock of the genuine article. If you want your
time-keepers or jewelry repaired, take them to
him. If growing old and blind, go there and get
your eye-glasses and spectacle. In short, Bchom-
burg is the man you are looking for, if anyth ng
is wanted that is kept in a first-class jewelry
establishment in each and every particular.
THE ONLY ONE.
Ami It Is Strictly First-Class In Each Particular.
The only strictly merchant tailoring establish
ment in the city is at No. 1123 Broad street, and
C. A. Lovelace & Co. are the proprietors. This
establishment is not only a strictly merchant
tailoring one, but is first-class in each particular.
All suits made by them arc guaranteed to fit or it
is no sale. Lovelace’s is headquarters for saits
for the young men of the city. The merchant
tailoring department of this firm is in charge of
one of the finest cutters in the union and a suit
is never turned out that does not give perfect
satisfaction. But while it is necessary to cover
the body, it is just as essential to protect
the head, and this reminds the reporter
that C. A. Lovelace A Co. are the sole agents in
this city for the celebrated Dunlap hats. They
also keep the famous Stetson hat, aiul nothing is
risked in saying that those two brands cannot be
excelled. Nobby and genteel furnishing goods
they keep in endless variety and no gentleman
need leave their establishment to supply his
wardrobe. Their line of hosiery, handkerchiefs,
collars and cuffs, scarfs, scarf-pins, cuff and collar
buttons, etc., is complete and cannot be sur
passed in the city. In charge of this establish
ment is the genial and popular t harles Lovelace,
who. as is well-known, is closely identified with
* .»uj •wijjU t.v
perience gives him advantages which are strictly,
essential to the business.
