CLUMBUB RNQTTIRER-SUN, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER II, Ml. 16 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. One of the Leading Inetitutioae of the State. MHClIiXT TA1LOB1HO. n« Largest .f the Kind In the Matr. In tho lint of maicbant tailoring, clothing nnd thrniahing good., Colnmbus equals, if it doe. not surpass, any city in the state. Ths leading busi ness establishment of this kind in the city is that of A. C. Chancellor. He employs thirty-two hands in the merchant tailoring department, nnd make* orer 600 suits a year. His goods are of nU grades, consisting of the eery Sneed quali ties of each prude, and he gets up any style a man wants on the shortest notice. Mr. Chancellor also keeps an immense stock of hats, the largest in the city. Knox’s and Stet son's hats are the leading styles, and are kept in every variety manufactured. Mr. Chancellor guarantees perfect fits in clothing, and satisfac tion in everything else. People who know him will regard this guarantee as good as gold. His famishing goods department is the lnrgest retail I establishment of the kind in the state. Mr. I Chancellor has built up this immense business!

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.

H. Brannon, John Peabody, W. L. Tillman, B. T. Hatcher, I H. Bussey. 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 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. i rnussii WHOLESALE AND RETAIL DEALER IN Fine Family aod Plantation Supplies.
