The operating room is the chief feature of the studio. Its dimen- sions are nineteen hy thirty feet, and its lights are admirably arranged, the sky-lights and side-lights being so constructed that the best effects may always be obtained. This room is never littered up with the para- phernalia of the ordinary photograph gallery, all of the backgrounds and J. HENRY DOERR. accessories being kept in a convenient store-room, whence they may be slid ont just as they are required. Mr. Doerr is peculiarly expert in ar- ranging these articles so as to produce the best effects of light and shade, and the most artistic results. He keeps a great variety of the accessories for posing and producing picturesque surroundings for his subjects.


Adjoining the gallery are the dark-room and the re-touching room. The latter is a model of what a re-touching room should be, care being again taken to have good lights. The printing-room is unusually complete. It is not generally understood that the temperature of the water used in washing off the pictures has much to do with their tone, very cold water making a picture harsh and uneven ; therefore, Mr. Doerr's establishment is provided with hot and cold water, so that when a picture is put into the bath, the water is first tempered to the requirements of the work. The exposures for printing are also admirably arranged, having a southern exposure, and being equipped with both ground and clear glass, thus giving the artist just the amount of sunlight that he needs.


Everything pertaining to the art is to be found in the studio, and every variety of photographi is here produced, from the smallest to the largest picture. Mr. Doerr employs only first-class artists in his establishment. Just as he spared no expense in putting up a building suited to his purposes, so does he spare none in any detail of his business. In his oper- ating room he uses only the most perfect camera, and the instruments in every department are equally fine and true.


Mr. Doerr has heen in the photographic business since 1861, and has had a wide experience in every branch of the art. There is no part of the work which he can not himself perform, and perform well. After having had a very grat- ifying success in a smaller studio, he put up the building he now occupies, and moved into it in the fall of 1875. It was then considered somewhat out of the way, heing further down town than most of the large business houses were, and the neighborhood was not settled hy a class of people from whom Mr. Doerr could expect paying patronage. Never- theless, the venture proved wise and profitable. It is an evidence of the excellence of the work, that the most fashion- able people of the city leave the fashionable thoroughfares and make a little excursion to Twelfth and Market streets to have their pictures taken. In Mr. Doerr's studio are photographs and crayon drawings of the most prominent men in Louisville, while on his walls also hang the portraits of some of the most famous beanties that Louisville has ever known. Such people as these have become his regular patrons. His work is also exceedingly popular with the ladies,


While all branches of the art fall within Mr. Doerr's scope, he makes a specialty of fine porcelain work. His colored photographs on porcelain have all the freshness of color and delicacy of treatment that can be given to the most care- fully painted miniature on ivory, while they have also the merit of photographic likeness. These charming porcelain pictures of Mr. Doerr's are so much admired that it is not uncommon for ladies to come to him from Cincinnati, St. Louis, Nashville, and even more distant places, for the purpose of having their features so portrayed by him. In water colors, Mr. Doerr has also had great success, and in photographs touched up in crayons he has done and now exhibits some admirable work.


In large groups and in pictures of intricately furnished interiors, Mr. Doerr has obtained remarkably fine results. Some of his photographs of interior sections of the Southern Exposition are wonderfully correct in minute detail, while embracing a large area. He exhihits on his walls some noteworthy groups, especially several of large families on which he justly prides himself not a little. One of these contains more than twenty figures closely grouped, and from the hahy to the great-grandfather every feature is perfect. Mr. Doerr is also prepared to do all kinds of landscape photog- raphy, his out-of-door views being numerous and well taken. He also does a large business in commercial photography, the selling of goods by photographic samples having become an important branch of trade. Mr. Doerr took the highest awards in photography at the Southern Exposition in the years 1883, 1884, 1885, and 1886, several eminent photogra- phers having competed.

The Louisville Public Warehouse Company.


6 HE LOUISVILLE PUBLIC banks on which the whisky trade so largely depends for its commer- cial prosperity, as well as to the trade itself. To the banks of Louis- ville it is eminently desirable to bave warehouse receipts for whisky and tobacco which shall be out of the range of fraud, and shall be drawn by a company that is moral- ly and financially responsible be- yond question. WAREHOUSE COMPANY was incorporated under the laws of Kentucky in December, 1884. Its officers are Udolpho Snead, President; John G. Barret, Vice- President; Wm. G. Coldewey, Sec- retary, Treasurer, and Manager. The office of the company is at No. 208 West Main street, Louisville, aud its warehouses are located here and at Athertonville, Larue The company accordingly bought the new warehouses built by the Newcomh-Buchanan Com- pany at a cost of $200,000, baving a capacity for 160,000 barrels, and being the largest, hest constructed aud equipped warehouses in the State. The immense building is divided into three completely dis- connected warehouses by double WILLIAM G. COLOEWEY. strength fire walls laid iu cement. Each warehouse is equipped with county, Kentucky. The company was organized for the storage of whisky and tobacco chiefly, but also for the storage of general mer- chandise. The increase from year to year in the production of whisky created the demand for this insti- tutiou, which is an independent and secure depository for whisky as forced out of boud, and which is eminently satisfactory to the the latest improved elevators, gas engines, rack system, etc. All openings are protected by iron bars and shutters, and the buildings are practically fire-proof. Sewers tap each house for the drawing off of whisky from bursting barrels in case of fire, thus protecting the buildings from the overflow of the burning liquor. The company when it bought these buildiugs made extensive repairs and secured a complete railroad connection by building a switch, at a cost of $7,000.


The main warehouses of the company are located in the easteru part of the city and are numbered 1, 2, and 3. Warehouse No. 1 is the largest of the three and is used for general merchandise, with cellars for storage of wines, meats, etc. Warehouse No. 2 is for the storage of returned exported whiskies, and other merchandise in bond, and is under the control of the United States Customs Department. Warehouse No. 3 is devoted exclusively to the storage of free or tax-paid whisky. A fourth warehouse has recently been built by the company, in the rear of its offices, in the central part of the city expressly for the proper storage of all kinds of household effects, valuable merchandise, etc. This

warehouse is known as No. 4, and in its construction every precaution was taken to provide a dry and dust-proof build- ing for the proper care of fine furniture, etc. Two other warehouses of the company are located at Athertonville, Ken- tucky, expressly for the storage of the free whisky on the premises of the J. M. Atherton Company.


Liberal advances are negotiated, or made by the company, on its warehouse receipts, and financial arrangements are perfected with local and New York banks. The company also represents Messrs. Dulany, Meyer & Co., of Baltimore, and Messrs. C. A. Cæsar & Co., of Bremen, Germany, for the exportation and storage of whisky abroad.


The company is doing a large and successful business, aud is prepared to increase its facilities as the business may demand. Under its charter the company is permitted to lease and assume control of other warehouses or storage yards, and to issue receipts therefor. Inspection of the company's warehouses and arrangements is invited.

Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis Railroad.


HE completion in Angust, 1882, of the LOUISVILLE, EVANSVILLE & ST. LOUIS RAILROAD-better known in Louisville and Kentucky as the "Lonisville & St. Louis Air Line"-was an event of much importance to the commercial interests of the Falls City, opening up to its merchants a territory fully one hundred miles in length and fifty miles in breadth ; a region heretofore destitute of railway facilities, and giving to them not only a competing line but the shortest line to Rock- port and Evansville, Indiana, and Owensboro and Henderson, Kentucky ; to Vincennes and Terre Haute, Indiana, by way of the Evansville & Terre Haute Railroad, which it crosses at Princeton, Indiana ; to Cairo and points in Southern Illinois via Mt. Carmel, where it intersects the Cairo, Vincennes & Chicago Line ; and by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad from Mt. Vernon, Illinois, to St. Louis and all points West and Sonth- west. At Brown's Crossing the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville Railway gives a valuable and direct line to Peoria, Decatur, and Mattoon, Illinois.


The Main Line of the road is 182 miles in length ; the Evansville Di- vision, fifty-five miles ; the Rockport Branch, seventeen miles; and the Cannelton Branch, twenty-three miles, making a total of 277 miles. The section of country through which the line passes is as fertile and product- ive as any portions of the rich States of Indiana and Illinois. It is in a high state of cultivation, its crops of wheat, corn, rye, oats, tobacco, etc., GEORGE F. EVANS. finding a ready market in Louisville ; is already thickly populated, and is enjoying an era of progress and development that is as remarkable as it is gratifying to those who have its welfare at heart.


Beginning at a point thirty miles from Louisville the road traverses for sixty miles an extensive belt of the finest and most valuable timber in Indiana, and, about fifty-five miles from Louisville reaches the Indiana coal field, forty miles or more in length and several miles in width. Within this area is an inexhaustible supply of good coal, wbich, owing to its superior quality and low cost of mining, has revolutionized the coal business of New Albany by reducing the price of other coals, and has saved that city more than once from a coal famine during low stages of the Ohio river.


During the past year the line has been equipped with a full complement of new passenger coaches and passenger and freight locomotives. The new passenger coaches are patterned after those now in service in the " fast trains" be- tween New York and Boston, and are models of comfort, convenience, and elegance.


The " Air Line " is the only line running double daily solid trains hetween Louisville and St. Louis with Pullman Palace Sleeping Cars of the latest improved pattern on all night trains, and Monarch Parlor Buffet Cars on day trains. With its steel track, solid stone ballasted road-hed, the principal bridges of steel and iron, and its short line, it has grown to be the popular route from the city by the Falls to the Mound City just west of the big bridge. As an evidence of this we have only to quote the following echo from the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at St. Lonis in October, 1887 : "At a regular meeting of George H. Thomas Post No. 6, G. A. R., held last Thursday evening, October 6th, it was unanimously resolved that a vote of thanks be extended to the officials of the St. Louis Air Line Rail- road for the extraordinary facilities and courtesies extended the Post and their friends on their recent trip via that line to the Grand National Encampment at St. Louis, Missouri, and for the promptness with which they were landed and returned to Louisville on schedule time. By order, E. A. Richards, P. C. ; John Hensler, Adjutant."


There are many places of interest within easy reach of the people of Louisville and vicinity. Corydon, the ancient capital of Indiana with the capital building still standing, thirty-one miles ; Milltown, with its picnic park and Blue river, famous for its bass and pike, where is also located the lime kiln of J. B. Speed & Co., of Louisville, said to be the largest in the world, is thirty-four miles from Louisville. The world-renowned Wyandotte Cave, as large as the Mam- moth Cave of Kentucky, is only eight miles from Milltown by stage. At Marengo, only thirty-nine miles from Louis- ville, is located the famous Marengo Cave, ranking next to Wyandotte Cave, which is about a half mile from the station, and at English, only fifty-two miles from Louisville, is the "Hazelwood Sulphur Springs," the summer resort of South- ern Indiana. By Jannary 1, 1888, the branch now under construction from Lincoln to Cannelton, Indiana, will be in op- eration and will place within easy rail communication with Louisville, Troy, with its Soo inhabitants ; Tell City, with 3,000 ; and Cannelton, with 2,500. A new iron bridge has just been completed over the Wabash river at Mt. Carmel, Illinois.


Wm. T. Hart is President and Otis Kimhall, Secretary and Treasurer, with office at Boston, Massachusetts. The main offices in Louisville are in the Board of Trade building, corner Main and Third streets. The officers are Geo. F. Evans, General Manager; Judge Alex P. Humphrey, General Counsel ; John J. Collier, Anditor ; J. S. Odiorne, Cashier and Paymaster; W. H. Folsom, Purchasing Agent ; L. S. Parsons, General Freight Agent ; G. W. Curtis, General Passenger Agent ; Bland Ballard, Assistant Attorney ; W. S. Martin, Master of Transportation ; T. L. Dunn, Chief Engineer ; and W. A. Stone, Master Mechanic.


Geo. F. Evans, the General Manager, has been connected with the company since its organization early in 1881 when he entered its service as Secretary and Treasurer. In March, 1884, he was appointed Assistant to the President in connection with his other duties ; on December 31, 1884, he was made Receiver hy Judge Gresham of the United States Circuit Court ; and, upon the reorganization of the road in October, 1886, was elected General Manager.

D. Sid Platt.


6 "HE manufacture of custoui-made shirts was in its infancy twenty-five years ago, uot ouly in Louisville but iu the whole country. The pioneer in this branch of business, which has become such an in- dustry in our city, was Mr. N. SID PLATT. He was the first mau south of the Ohio river to cut a shirt to order from measurement. By careful study of proportions of meu, and by long and tiresome experiments, he originated and perfected a system of cutting and making shirts to order, by which a gentlemau can be fitted with a shirt made to his special size and shape with the same facility with which a merchant tailor measures aud fits his customers with accuracy.


Having accomplished this result, his custom-shirt business has grown until his customers are found in every State in the l'uion. Mr. Platt's first business experience was in the dry goods line, where he readily took up the study of textile fabrics, educating himself as to quality and cost of manufacture, which has proved to be of inestimable value to him in the production of high grades of goods, and in securing beauty and durability of material, and elegance and comfort of pro- portions. The acme of perfection iu these particulars is the "Apollo Yoke " shirt, the name of which has become a household word through- out the South.


In connection with his shirt manufactory he has combined a large N. SID FLATT. and successful department of Men's Furnishings, and, in this department also, he has strictly adhered to the principle that good articles find a ready market, and he has never stooped to make or vend spurious or worthless trash. He employs a large number of hands to whom he gives employment throughout the year.


His business is a pleasure to him as well as a profit, which proves the fact that, if a mau combines with ability a love for his calling, his success is assured, be he physician, preacher, merchant, or manufacturer.


The Kentucky Public Elevator.


7 "HE grain trade of Louisville has grown in proportion to other interests during the past five years. This fact is established by the increasing business of the KENTUCKY PUBLIC ELEVATOR, which was built in ISSI at a cost of a quarter of a million dollars, and with a capacity of receiving and storing half a million bushels of grain. The capacity exceeded the demand at the time it was built, and it seemed that the pub- lic-spirited capitalists who projected the enterprise had made a mistake iu building too great for the accom- modation of a trade that was inclined to go elsewhere. But the PUBLIC ELEVATOR has afforded such facilities for handling and stor- ing grain that much of the grain which prop- erly belongs to Louisville, but which formerly passed through and around the city for want of storage and transferring facilities, has been attract- ed to Louisville by the finest elevator in the South or West, and this magnificent en- terprise, as managed by the President of the company, Mr. Beunet D. Mattingly, is realizing a fair profit for the owners.


The elevator is situated at the corner of Fourteenth and Kentucky streets, and is counected with all of the railroads en- tering the city, thus affording the most complete facilities for shipping and re- ceiving grain to and from all parts of the country. Office at No. 205 W. Main street

J. W. Sawyer.


m' R. J. W. SAWYER may be styled a self-made man. He entered a grocery store in 1868 as salesman aud there acquired a business knowledge and experience that qualified him to conduct business successfully for himself. In 1878, he commenced the grocery business in this city with a capital of $267.50, aud during that year the sales amounted to $32,000.00. During the past seven years his sales have Teen, on an average, $70,000 a year. His success is the more wonderful froui the fact that for five years of the time referred to above, be suffered- with an inflamed knee-joint and had to use crutches. Ilis thorough busi- ness system of checks, combined with sound business maxims, carried him through successfully, notwithstanding this great drawhack.


MR. SAWYER's stores are located at Nos. 354 aud 356 East Market street, and are filled with staple and faucy groceries of every description of the hest grades, all of which are sold at the very lowest market rates, and satisfaction always guaranteed. He does a large retail business iu the city, and his country customers are to be found all through the Ohio and Mississippi valleys from West Virginia to Texas. The specialties of the house are "Diamoud " flour, which has no superior for domestic or bakers' use, "Diamond " coffee, and "Combination " mixed tea.


MR. SAWYER, besides being a first-class grocer, is also a student spending many of his leisure hours in the acquisition of knowledge. He J W. SAWYER, has mastered pretty thoroughly several languages without the aid of a teacher. He is an independent and vigorous thiuker. His ideas in regard to paupers are pecuhar. He does not believe iu taxing the public to support charitable institutions that are filled with paupers caused by strong drink, but holds to the opinion that the makers and sellers of intoxicating beverages should bear the burden of supporting that particular class, as they aloue receive the profits. MR. SAWYER is much opposed to grocers selling liquor of any kind, and it is his purpose, at an early day, to publish a book showing how to sell groceries and not sell liquors and yet make money. The secret of success, MR. SAWYER says, is the study of three words, "How," "WHEN," and " WHERE " to huy goods to best please the trade. Politeness and strict integrity characterize all his transactions.


R. B. Coffer.


m R. R. B. COTTER, the most extensive Manufacturer and Wholesale Lumber Dealer in Louisville, is a native of this State, having been born in Bardstown in the year 1856. Early in life he moved to this city, where he was educated and for some time was interested in the irou business, but during the past seven years has been engaged exclusively in the lumber trade.


The office and lumber yard of MR. COTTER are located on the corner of Eighth and Zane streets. The yard covers au area of about three and one- quarter acres and, being near the main stem of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, has side-tracks running into it, which greatly facilitates the receiv- ing and shipping of goods. He carries a very large stock of pine and hardwood lumber-mostly hardwood -making a specialty of poplar or whitewood, selling at wholesale only and in carload lots. His trade here is quite large and extends East, West, North, aud South - also through Cau- ada aud Europe. Last year the sales of lumher amounted to eighteen million feet. The well-equipped planiug mill in the yard is kept con- stanily runuing, dressing and working lumber iuto various shapes. A large number of hands is employed in various capacities, the pay-roll amount- iug to $1,000 per week. This is the kind of industry that builds up a city aud adds to its wealth and prosperity.


MR. COTTER owns several thousand acres of the best timher lauds in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiaua, and his resources for procuring the very best quality of hardwood lumber to meet the growing demands of his trade are almost inexhaustible. He owns aud operates a sawmill in Eastern Kentucky, one in Tennessee, and auother in Indiana, besides a floating mill, "Old Hickory," operating on the Ohio river and its tributaries. This float- ing sawmill draws less than two feet of water and can navigate the smaller R. B. COTTER. streams, where a force of men is constantly engaged sawing timber aud loading it on barges for transportation to Louisville. His growing trade renders it necessary for him to buy the cuts of several other mills. The secret of the success of this enterprising young merchant is found in a thorough knowledge of the business he is engaged in and reliability in filling orders according to contract. 154.
