Messrs. J. S. Lyon & Co. have opened out a complete stock of plumbing, steam, and gas-fitting goods at the store of Horning and Whitney. They are practical plumbers and gas fitters, having had long experience in that line, and with their large and excellent stock of goods, will be a very valuable acquisition to our city and citizens. We recommend that persons who want work or goods in the line to call and see them.

I have this day sold out my stock of water plumbing goods together with the good will of the business heretofore conducted by me, to J. S. Lyon & Co. Plumbers, and I cordially recommend them to my many friends and patrons. I still continue the steam and gas fitting business at the old stand, basement of Read’s Bank.  FRANK BARCLAY.

Winfield Courier, Thursday, September 3, 1885.

This new firm has fairly got started in the McDonald building, on South Main. They have spared no pains, time, or money in putting in a general hardware stock that will compare favorably with any stock in the county. Everything about the store and stock shows that the gentlemen composing the firm understand their business fully. The goods are of the best and latest make, bought as low as cash and judicious buying could get them in eastern markets. No old goods. I. W. Randall—our Irve, is well known in this city to be a fine businessman. J. S. Lyon, formerly with Horning & Whitney, is an expert in the plumbing and gas fitting business, and a number one hardware man. Everything in shelf and heavy hardware will be kept in stock. Plumbing and gas fitting will be a specialty. Call and see their stock and low prices and be convinced that this firm will sell the best class of goods very low.
