W.e are indebted to George Burkhart for a copy of the Saline Review,
the first newspaper printed in this
village. In style it is very similar
to the "Tecumseh Herald of today,
was printed from new type and presses and presents a handsome typographical appearance. D. B. Sherwood was editor and proprietor, and
the subscription price was only $2
per year in advance.
Of   his   newspaper   Mr.   Sherwood
said:
A slpendid weekly newsletter to send
East.
Independent  in politics,   and   everything else.
Spicy,   saucy,  and   charmingly   comprehensive.
Gives the pith  of home -and  foreign
news.
Gives the cream of Eastern magazines
and hooks.
Gives the wit and wisdom of the agri-
cultuial world.
Gives the choicest romances of the.
lofty and lowly.
The first issue of the Review contained a complimentary writeup of
all the business places, and believing
the same will be of much interest to
our readers forty-four years and six
months later we 'reproduce as much
of it as w.e have time this week,- to
be concluded in our next:
SALINE,
And Its Business People!
In issuing the first number of The
Saline Review, we have thought best
to issue with it a list of the business
houses of the village of Saline, knowing that" the paper will fall into the
hands of strangers and others who
may desire information as to the
amount of business done here, and as
to the men who do it. Many of the
firms will be found in the advertising columns of The Review, and others will no doubt come in as soon as
they find that there is truth in the assertion that nothing pays a husiness
man so well as to properly advertise
his business. The only embarrassment we have in writing these notices is such as a person might feel
in 'undertaking to compliment some
one well-known by everybody, and for
whom the highest respect was entertained. Ta say that such a person
was loved and respected, would seem,
at least, an unnecessary statement;
and so it is with us in speaking of our
business men—the first thought is:
Everybody knows just what we are
going to say—it will be nothing new;
but a second judgment convinces us
that through The Review we shall
speak to hundreds who never hearu
their names before; and so we recover ourselves, and present to our
readers—
Webb & Hull, dealers in stoves,
hardware, agricultural implements,
etc. This store was established in
1S63, and for nine years its growth
has been, not rapid, but steady and
constant. It presents an example to
the young business men of Saline,
worthy of imitation, and teaches that
persistent attention to husiness, based
upon integrity, is sure to be rewarded. They are liberal dealers, honest
in traffic, and fine business men.
Burkhart & Aldrich, (two fine-looking men), dealers in dry goods, groceries, etc.. They are doing a big
trade this spring, and none are more
glad than the customers who have
found them liberal and honest in, all
their dealings. Give them a call at
their mammoth salesroom.
Clark & Edmunds, (successors to
A. H. Risdon), are another hardware
firm. They keep a large stock of
stoves, hardware, and, in fact, everything generally found in a store of
this kind. They are enterprising, and
will sell goods at bottom prices.
Ii. Clark & Co. have just settled
down in their new store, ahd are doing a fine husiness. Their stock of
dry goods, groceries, crockery, glassware, etc, is kept full and complete,
giving customers a chance for pure
articles ■ and good bargains. The
crowd going in and out of their store
is the best "puff" which can be given
of their business.
If you want to experience a "fit,"
just drop around to the store of John
McKinnon & Son, merchant tailors.
They also keep a large stock of ready-
made     clothing,     gent's    furnishing
goods, etc., which they are selling at
the lowest possible figures. Give
them a call.
C. Parsons is a dealer in dry goods,
groceries, etc. He has just moved
Into his new store, has a large stock
of goods on hand, and is selling them
at unprecedentedly low figures. Remember and give Mr. Parsons a call,
in his new quarters.
L. H. Haynes is another gentleman
dealing in dry goods, groceries, etc.,
and is enjoying a fine trade. He sells
at prices that cannot fail to suit those
who wish to huy" at figures to suit the
times.   A fact worth remembering.
M. Mason & Son are dispensers of
drugs and medicines. They also keep
a full line of school hooks, stationery,
confectionery, etc., and are doing a
fine business. They have charge of
the postoffice, and, as a matter of
course, everybody knows where their
store may be found.
A. C. Clarke is a dealer in furniture, and keeps as fine a stock as any
one might wish to select from. Parties wanting anything in his line will
do well to give him a call. He sells
goods at Ann Arbor .and Ypsilanti
prices.   Make note of this.
In speaking of drug stores, we desire to include Colwell & Hallock,
who have a good place of business,
know how to do business,,and can always be counted: on as having a full
stock in trade. They also keep school
books, stationery, confectionery, etc.
Pay them a visit.
A. C. Voorhies looks out for the
"soles" of this community, and he
does it well, having a fine stock of
boots and shoes, and selling at reasonable rates—down to Detroit prices.
If you want anything in his line, you
will find Voorhies a pleasant man to
deal with. He also manufactures
boots and shoes to order.
Meyer Bros, keep a meat market,
and have a host of customers. They
keep constantly on hand a good supply of fresh and °alt meats, and sell
the same at living prices. Please remember them.
If you want a good boot or shoe,
call on C. Houser. He will manufacture, to order, just what you want
in his line. All work warranted to
give satisfaction.
Kennedy Bros, are dealers in groceries and provisions.    They'have a
good stock on hand, and are liberal
in their dealings.
Gray & Winman are the proprietors
of a meat market. They keep everything usually found in a shop of this
character, and sell at satisfactory
prices.
The American House, Kanouae &
Clark, proprietois. It is conducted in
a manner conducive to the" comfort
and well-being of guests. The house
is well patronized.
John M. Gross conducts a foundry
and machine shop, and deals in agricultural implements. Farmers, and
others, in want of anything in this
line, give him a call.

Mary A. Phelps was born in Saline
township July 7, 1S40, and was married to Harmon. D. Parmelee September 25, 1S61. " The first ten years of
their married life was spent on a
farm near Mooreville. They moved
to Chicago the year of the great fire,
1871, living there and in Pewaukee,
Wis., until Mr. Parmelee's death in
1910. Then for four years Mrs. Parmelee made her home with her sister,
Mrs. Sarah M. Wood, of Ann Arbor,
until her death, since when she has
resided in Saline with her sister, Mrs.
G. L. Hoyt.
Since early girlhood, she has been
actively identified with, and a faithful member of the church, and her
life was wholly consecrated to her
Lord. She was ever a generous and
cheerful giver, and it may truthfully
be said of her, "She hath done what
she could." She was brought up in
the Saline Presbyterian church and
resumed her membership there the
lastthree years, hut during her married life she identified herself with
the Baptist church with her husband.
In her declining years, she has
not been strong, and after a serious
illness last spring has been still more
frail, until two weeks ago when she
was taken slightly ill. It was thought
nothing serious, but she failed very
rapidly the last week and passed
away to her reward Saturday afternoon, September 15, 1917.
Interment took place in Forest Hill
cemetery, Ann Arbor, with her pastor,
Rev. W. H." Hoffman officiating.
