A IvELIABLE AND PROGRESSIVE FlHM. While in Toledo, last week, we dropped in upon Messrs. Castner Miller, general Insurance agents, late of 34 Jefl'erson street, but at present located in Room 4, Merchant's National Bank Building, oornner Summit and Monroo Btreeta. In order to facilitate their largely increasing business, tho above change became imperative, and we congratulate them on the excellent accom modation and neatly appointed office they possess. Both members of the firm are gentlemen of exceptional cour tesy and geniality, shrewd at business, and about the most diligent workers we are acquainted with in the oity.

They represent some eight or nine of the loading and safest offices submitted to the residents of Toledo and environs, and are characterized for their attentions in every emergency when claims come before them. We know of no firm, in their line, we can recommend in Toledo, with greater oonildenoe than Castner Miller, whose established char-araeter and business capacity is fast lie-coming nniversally popular.

A few days ngo Wm.

Heart disease is supposod to have been the cause. A man in Port Clinton struck at a cat with a chair, but did not know of the presence of a ehandolier in the room uu-til tho fragment brought the fact vividly to mind, The cat escaped.

The Shelby County Democrat, in speaking of the Lake Erie aud Louisville Railroad pays tho following do-served compliments to Mr. Burgoon, of this city: "Under the management of Mr. I. H.

Burgoon, tho receiver, tliin road is doing a tine busincus, which is rapidly increasing. Mr. Burgoon is a muu of marked executive ability, carry iug economy and good management in all departments. Ho has grown up with the road aud thoroughly understands all its wants in detail. The track under roaduiaster Campbell is iu good condition, is fact, in better condition than many of the older anil wealthier corporations.

With returning good times it is expected that the road will be completed through to Union City, when it will be one of the leading lines of the country." The Democrat has not over stated the case. Mr. Burgoon has been associated with tho road evor since it! was opened, understands its resources thoroughly, and gives steady, uninter mitted attontion to every detail, aud ia achieving thereby well deserved credit.

It's so. How it Ended. AN IMPORTANT AND EXTENSIVE WHOLESALE HOUSE.

The Popular Firm of Ketehain, Bond Summit St. Toledo Origin, Progress and Present Resources of their BusinessHead (Quarters for Reliable Merchaudlse and its Extensive Patronage. Tii well to learn from whence proceeds TUoHe good that meet our daily needs Aud tiud if local tradesmen buy, From those, whose standing, rinks defy. There are few subjects of greater importance to tho publio at largo than a familiar acquaintance with the character of thoso wholesale commercial house from whence tho tributaries of large cities aro supplied with goods particularly tho staple commodities of lite. For, in proportion to tho standing of the merchant dealt with, and in whom the small trader confidos, the success of the latter must of necensity hingo, and tho woll being and satisfaction of a community alone depend.

Hence, it if with nn unusual degree of pleasure and pride that wo this week indulge the privilego of submitting to our readers an account of one of the most extensive, ably conducted, and popular jobbing houses in north western Ohio that of MESSES. KETCHAM BOND, CO. The business was Crat established iu tho premises still ocenpied, (though bofore they were near completed) ou the tho 1st of 187C, bv John B. Ketcham of Toledo, and Henry W. GU-loU then and now of Leavenworth, Kansas these gentlemen running it ouo year, when Mr.

Morehouse and J. M. Brighnm, of Waterville, succeeded to Mr. GUlett's interest, and tho firm style was changed to Ketcluim Brighnm as it remained down to Mr. Brig-ham's death, in May, 18U9.

Next, Messrs. Ketcham Morehouse kept in partnership to the lut of January, 1871, when the latter disposed of his share to Mr. Charles W. Bond, of Connecticut, and tho present firm of Kotcham Bond Jt Co. tho co-partnership consisting of Mr.

John B. Ketcham, 2d then took hold of the promising enterprise. The senior member of the firm baa been a resident of Toledo for 20 years, and has all that time been identified with the wholo aalo grocery trade commencing his business career in the old houso of Ketcluim predecessor to Secor Berdaa 4 in which house he subsequently became a partner, remaining as such, about ten years, when he retired, and with Mr. Gillott oatabliahed th house of which he still remains tho sen ior partuor.it Mr. Bond oarue to Toledo' Uoaie four years ago, just prior to th i' i formation of the present firm, being I gontle-nnn of ample business capacity and exceptional integrity and courtesy.

Mr. Kotcham 2J, son of V. n. Kotcham, and" nephew of J. B.

Ketehain, has also bees with the house some nine years. These gentlemen, alike give personal attention to the overy-day details of their large business the success of which i pretty clearly demonstrated in tho one fact that the sales of the houso for tha-past year eclipsed thoso of 1873 by at leait $83,000. We next proceed to giva. briefly our experience on taking A HURRIED GLANCE THROUGH THE WAREHOUSE. Kl' uioie syrups oi au of teas and colTues, there is proba-on My no house iu tho State to excel this the former, Imperial, Gunpowdor, nu'l Young Hysou, Oolong, Uncol-urally Japan, Ac, and in the way of oof-came.

fees their Government Java, Laguayra, The premises located at 36 and 38 Summit stroet, have a fromtage of 40 feet are very substantially bnilt, and besides a spacious basement, have four floors above, ely about 125x40 feet lofty, and in the center, from tha basement to the uppermost story a very fine elevator or lift is constructed, capable of raising over a ton at once to any floor. To the right hand, on enter-iigfrom Summit is-the office, enclosed by a glazed front commodi ous and thoroughly appointed. At the extreme end of this department are large folding doors, opening ou to a most admirable privato dock, tho equal to which, for facilitating shipments by water, without ltaving to resort to dray-age, cannot be found iu tho city in fact, all consignment! to or from this house, by water, aro simply transported with tho least possible inconvenience directly to or from the vcsvjl and without a pause a great advantage over the usual risk attending transfers at other houses less favorably positioned. The basement of this building is devoted to syrups and molasses, vinegars and other iheavy goods the former being one of nouse, anu eom- 11,0 nuc3t nnJ variety we 1.1.- 1: ri 1 kinds, New Orleans molasses, Porto Rico, Muscavado, sugar house, On the ground floor other heavey goods are also stocked, such as tens, coffees, sugars, cheese, fruits, salt lish, soaps. aala rat us, caudles, Ktarch, Iu the Java, Rio, roast and ground Java, Ac, their invariable heavy stock is proverbial for being equally genuine as extensive.

The second floor is devoted to wooden ware, nuts, small wares, and is literally crammed to repletion with everything to bo desired tuba of every size, shape aud make, churns, pails, buckets, busheLi, flour and sugar pails, cheese safes, sieves, butter prints, bowls, faucets, washboards, and in abort everything. At one end of this depart ment ia a very fine "sample room," which, from its motley and endless contents, forms an excellent index to the general ftock of tho concern, though smaller articles aro chiefly represented as a fine line of pocket cutlery, perfumery, brushes of every kind, toilet requisites, stationary, notions, drug, anil dye stuffs, the difficulty suggested to our mind being that particular article which was absent. Proceeding yet another story higher and wo were in full view of the willow ware and broom department, a perfect battery in full array stretching around whore o'rs the eye might rest. The fourth story also well filled, is applied to storage purposes of surplus siock, "everything in general and nothing iu particular," hence, speciul reference to it ia unnecessary. SOME IDEA OF THE EXTENSIVE BUSINESS.

We observed, during our visit, they weiu receiving what they seemed to view as quite an ordiuury shipment of siiRar to wrt; 25(1 barrels, of sugar and we learnt they often took iu so many as ilOO to 400 barrels. Also, from 150 to 200 cheats of tea; 150 to 200 bags of coffee, 300 to 400 boxes of starch, and syrup and molasses by 100 barrels at a tune. These kind of 'consignments frequently dropping iu, it will at once be seen how enaeutiHl it is they should hava so lurgo a trade iu fact, it is no uncommon thing for them to ship out from 83,000 to 84,000 wortU of goods in a day. Xheir customers are Bcattered throughout a large portion of four States Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois and they usually keep four representatives on the road. Mr.

C. A. Baldwin, than whom it would be difficut to find a moro genial or excellent fellow, waa formerly of Fremont, where he still retains excellent business relations ou behalf of tho firm. Ho has boon with them nine years, fills tho capacity of chief salesman, comes to Fremont periodically fur orders, and is prepared to net in the interest of the firm, generally. The other travelers ore Messrs.

Kuggles, W. M. Havelund, and W. 8. Rogers, who have each their regular appointed journioB, and are gentlemen of experience, courtesy and, strict integrity.

Altogether, the firm employ tonie twelve persons and two drays in con ducting their business, though thoir exceptional faculties, already referred to, for water shipments, effect them a material saving on hand hire. Few firms have met with mora deserved success tlian Ketcham Bond Co. whole business has not only grown apace with their exertions and excellent management, but is still growing. Both members of the firm are ever in diligent personal attention upon customers and nothing is left undone to mutually enhance tho interests of thomselvaa their customers and even their custo mer's customers which if terpretrd means the community at Urge,.
