Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Sketch Book, Vol. 1: Chippewa Falls, Wis
The store, with its numerous departments; its gentle'manly cashier, Mr. H. H. Todd; its clerks and check boys, is one of which any city might be proud, and is certainly appreciated by the people of Chip pewa Falls.
The Stanley Brothers have also a large brick store, well filled with various kinds of goods, but the proprietors being away from home at the time of our visit, we were unable to make a tour of inspection.
The new court house occupies a very sightly place, and is an attractive edifice. Its dimensions we are unable to give.
The two new hotels are both large and centrally situated. We can speak of the accommodations of only one, tne Central House. Here everything is in perfect order here are landlords and landladies who know how to make their guests feel at home; here too, is a marvel a clerk who knows his business and attends to it. Some humorist, speaking of a hotel clerk, once remarked, that after said clerk had looked at him five seconds, he could not swear whether he belonged to the clerk or to himself. Mr. Harding does not so impress visitors.
