It is wit i a feeling of some misgiving that we attempt a review of the large cart and carriage manufactory of the above company for publicatiori to the country in our large edition. This business was established in 1880, and reorganized October ist, 1893, under the above firm name. D. K. S. (Jndewood is president and A. P. Ferguson, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Ferguson began the manufacture of wagons at Dexter in 1880; but that place was not large enough and perceiving that Ann Arbor offered advantages second to none, and shipping fa'cilities amply sufficient to market his goods when required, he came nere in 1889, and took possession of two small buildings w'hich have since been enlarged to the present factory as shown by j the above cut. This company j ufactures carriages, spring wagons, park wagons, road wagons and nine different styles of the celebrated "Ferguson" Cart. Our space is too limited to mention their full list, but the "Ferguson" road wagon is considered the handsomest and most stylish; and we can state from actual experience the easiest riding road wagon made. Their new No. 306 "Ferguson" eradle cart is a great favorite and is especially adapted for rough roads and mountainous country. They have just received an order for 500 carts of this make from one lirm, which proves the increasing demand for the populan "Ferguson." Every vehicle that leave this factory is made from the best material, and are standard par excellence. Their market is not confined by county or state lines, :or their goods are sold all over Uncle Sam's dominions, and in some foreign countries. Theygive employment to 70 men, hus contributing much to the cliannels of trade; and this coming year i they expect to .(o rtíore business than any previous season. The vehicles made !y this lirra are all gotten up with a view to solid service, finish and luxury, and those who use them pronounce them the best made. Every wagon, cart and buggy manufacture, are made durable in every part, and the products of this company have an enviable reputation. Their carts and buggies, as we have said before, are sold all over the American continent, and no complaint ever came back, which speaks volumes for their durability. Too much cannot be said of this enterprising and prosperous lïrm, who command the united confidence of our whole people, won by disinterested public interest; an honorable business course and all of those attributes that go to make up the worthy citizen and successful business man.
