This institution started in 1875, and was at first called the Pettis Loan & Savings Bank. O. A. Crandall was the first President, and held that position until July, 1880, when he severed his connection with it and organ - ized the Missouri Trust company. It was reorganized and incorporated under the Revised Statutes, July 1, 1880, as a regular banking institution, with Curtis Field, President; R. T. Miller, Vice President; C. M. A. Chaney, Cashier, and C. R. Field, Assistant Cashier. The Board of Directors are: Curtis Field, R. T. Miller, C. M. A. Chaney, Dr. Logan Clark, Henry C. Sinnet, Ed. Hurley and W. S. Baker, They have just completed a new and elegant bank building on Ohio street, between Fourth and Fifth streets, into which they moved May 10,1882. The bank has a paid up capital of $50,000. The building is fitted up in the most elegant style, with all the latest improvements and appliances calculated to facilitate and expedite business, or to add to the convenience or comfort of patrons. Safes of the best quality and manufacture, entirely fire and burglar proof, are built up in solid vaults of masonry. The building is worth $8,000. In 1882 Mr. Chaney retired, and C. R. Field became Cashier.

BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS.
There are now five Building and Loan Associations in the city. Up to the first of January, 1882, there were six, but on that date the oldest wound up its affairs after an existence of eight years.
Every one of them has done a splendid work, and they have been success- ful in accomplishing their objects even beyond the most sanguine expec- tations of their originators. The following figures will give an idea of the sums they handle and the amounts loaned to stockholders for the erec- tion of homes.

THE SEDALIA ASSOCIATION.
Eight years and eight months ago, the "Sedalia " commenced, as the pioneer of building and loan association in this city. Those who held their stock until it had received $200, the par value on each share. They had paid in $103.66 per share. The average time this money has been on interest is four years and four months. This makes about twenty per cent simple interest on the investment for those who left their money in the Association. The original capital stock was $150,000.
THE FOURTH ASSOCIATION
was organized in Jan., 1878, with a capital stock of $200,000, composed of $200 each. There has been a steady demand for all the money up to Jan. 1, 1882; 120 shares were cancelled; each share $200. 273 shares stand redeemed by loans. This is equal to $54,600. J. H. Mertz, Presi- dent; John G. Sloane, Secretary. The stock is at a premium.
SIXTH ASSOCIATION.
This one was organized in June, 1881, and is now seven months old, with a capital stock of $250,000. R. H. Moses, President; John G. Sloane, Secretary.
HOTELS. - THE GARRISON HOUSE.
Sedalia has houses of public entertainment in perfect keeping with all her other public and private enterprises. The Garrison House, formerly called the Ives House, in honor of its first manager, was completed in 1868, and occupies the site of the old McKissock House. It is owned by the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company, and is also the present Union Depot. It is a first-class establishment, finely furnished and complete in all respects. The building is now worth $28,000. It contains fifty-five

rooms, exclusive of dining room, office, bar, kitchen, servants' room, &c. The house contains hot and cold water, bath-rooms, water-closets, electric annunciator, gas, fire escapes, reservoir, and pipes for extinguishing fires and all other modern conveniences. It does a business of about $75,000 per annum in round numbers. George T. Brown and Charles A. Pratt were proprietors from 1873 up to 1881, when Mr. Pratt retired, leaving Mr. Brown as sole manager.
SICHER'S HOTEL.
This splendid brick structure is located on the corner of Ohio and Third streets, in the business heart of the city. It is 120 feet deep, forty feet wide and three stories high. Its value is about $25,000. The first half of the hotel was built about 1870, and in 1878 an addition as large as the original building was erected. It is solid from top to bottom. It contains thirty-five rooms, bath-rooms and water on each floor, gas throughout; is heated by furnaces and registers; has electric bells and annunciators, tele- phone communication, fire escapes in each room, beautifully decorated dining room, fine sample rooms and office. For the accommodation of guests there are thirty-five rooms furnished with as much comfort and ele- gance as those of the best private mansions.
The proprietors, Joseph D. and Frank E. Sicher, are also the proprie- tors of Sicher's Park and the Park Hotel. This institution equals in all respects any hotel of the same size anywhere.
THE JAY GOULD HOTEL.
This hotel is of brick, three stories high, 120 feet long and thirty feet wide, and contains about forty rooms. It is located on the corner of Main and Lamine streets, and the property is owned by Mrs. Sarah Smith and Mrs. M. E. Cotton, daughters of the late Gen. George R. Smith. It was originally two stories high and was erected in 1870. In 1SS1 an addi- tional story was put upon it. It is worth about $18,000. The rooms are large, comfortable, well lighted and airy. The dining room is spacious, and the office large and comfortable. It is supplied with gas and water. A. L. Devereaux is the present manager.
THE LINDELL HOTEL

In addition to the above are the Pacific House, the Atlantic House, the City Hotel, all neat and comfortable houses, and a large number of board- ing houses in all parts of the town.
MANUFACTORIES.
The city already has several prosperous manufacturing establishments which are enlarging the scope of their work every year; adding to their facilities and increasing the number of their workmen. The past five years has shown a large increase in their business, because people have become convinced that they can get certain things at home, that they have hitherto bought abroad, which are of as good quality and at the same price.
In the month of December, 1881, a careful, personal canvass was made among the proprietors and managers of all the manufacturing establish- ments in the city, and from them were gathered the following table of figures. This tabulated statement represents a week of labor on the mat- ter, and tells a very important story in a very small space. The character of the establishment is not mentioned except in the heading:
Machine Shops, Agricultural Implement Makers, Boiler Shops, Foundry, Mills, Gas Works, Mineral Waters, Doors, Mouldings, etc., Wagons and Buggies, Marble Works, Brick Works, Brewery.

HISTORY OF SEDALIA.
These are the figures for all the establishments outside the great rail- road machine shops.
THE SEDALIA FOUNDRY AND MACHINE SHOPS.
This is the oldest establishment of the kind in the city except the Capital Mills. It was started in 1867, and ready for work in 1868. James G. Tesch founded and conducted it for several years. In 1873 the business was reorganized and a joint stock company formed called the Sedalia Foundry and Machine Company. During the year 1874 O. A. Crandall was president of the company. It ran under this name until 1878, when it was again reorganized and called the Smith Manufacturing Company. Gen. Geo. R. Smith was President; A. P. Morey, Secretary; and H. B. Fletcher, Manager. In 1881 a new set of men bought out the works and they are now run by Geo. M. Babcock and a stock company. The foundry building, machine shops and other buildings occupy an area of ground, 120 feet deep by 180 long. The machine shop is 100x35. The capacity of the foundry is five tons of iron and 1,000, pounds of brass per day. The offices and pattern and general supply and stock room is a fire-proof brick building, 22x80 feet. The property is worth about $20,- 000 and now does an annual business of from $30,000 to $50,000 per year. The number of men employed is from 20 to 45, according to the season of the year. The company rebuilds and repairs engines, mill machinery and agricultural machinery, makes all sorts of castings and manufactures sorghum cane mills.
BARLEY BROS. & CO.'S AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT MANUFACTORY AND MACHINE SHOPS
were established in 1867, by Samuel Barley, and his son T. K. Barley. The shops are now run by J. H. and Thos. K. Barley. The yards and buildings of this firm, located on West Main, west of Moniteau street, cover an area of about one-fourth of a block. From fifteen to twenty men are employed in all. Engines and mill machinery are repaired and rebuilt, and all sorts of repairs on agricultural machinery done. The works make a specialty of the manufacture of harrows and sulky plows of their own patent, and do a large business in this line. This manufactory, with its machinery and buildings, is worth about $20,000, and does an annual busi- ness of about $30,000.
THE NOVELTY WORKS
were established in 1875, by M. S., E. and G. Barrett, three brothers, under the firm name of Barrett Bros. The shop was first built in East Sedalia. In 1880 it was moved from Summit street to Second street, near Mill street. The establishment does all sorts of wood work, makes mouldings of every variety, doors, sashes, blinds, &c., and does all kinds
533
HISTORY OF SEDALIA.
of sawing and planing. These shops also manufacture "The King" feed cutting box, and are now making over five hundred each season. The building is a substantial two-story frame, with a complete set of machinery for each kind of work. From ten to fifteen men are at work, and the business is increasing each day. The building and machinery are worth about $15,000. The annual business is about $15,000 to $20,000.
MILLS .- THE FARMERS MILLS.
This is the largest institution of the kind in thecity. Its proprietors are S. Zimmerman and Morris Harter. The mill was built by other parties, but did not amount to much until it came into the hands of its present owners and managers, who have made it all over and doubled its original size. There is little of the old mill left. In 1880 about $10,000 was expended on it. In 1881 a new three-story brick elevator, the best building in the

town, was erected next to it at a cost of about $10,000. The mill has five run of burrs, two sets of rolls, middlings purifiers, in short the finest, best and latest improved mill machinery known in the United States. In the engine room is the finest engine in Central Missouri, a sixty horse power, put in in the spring of 1882.
This mill during the year 1881 did a business of $200,000. That tells the whole story.
534
HISTORY OF SEDALIA.
ZIMMERMAN AND HARTER'S ELEVATOR.
This belongs to the same firm, and is connected to the frame mill by a movable bridge. This building is of brick and is built as solidly as skilled workmen could make it. It is two stories high with a full basement. Length, ninety feet, breadth, forty-five feet, height, sixty-two feet. It cost in the neighborhood of $10,000. It will hold twenty thousand bushels of grain, and one thousand barrels of flour. A tram way leads from the elevator to the Missouri Pacific Railroad track. Grain can be thrown into a small car from the cars on the track, and run directly into the elevator.
The whole value of the mill elevator, and machinery is about $30,000.
KIPPER'S MILL
is owned by Messrs. J. C. Kipper and Wallace. It is two and a half stories high, built of stone and brick, and is one of the most solid buildings in the city. It began operations in 1881. It has four run of burrs, and all the latest improved machinery. Its capacity is seventy-five barrels per day. Its value in round numbers is $17,000. The owners now have in course of erection a large brick elevator adjoining it.
B. S. REMBAUGH'S MILL.
This is a frame flouring mill, located on the west end of Main street. It was built and began operations in the winter of 1881. It has three run of burrs, two sets of rolls, and all other pieces of machinery of the latest ® patents and best quality. The mill can grind five hundred bushels of grain daily. The steam sheller can shell four thousand bushels of corn per day. The mill possesses every requisite for making the finest quality of flour, and already does a large business, and is taxed to its utmost capa- city. The building and machinery are worth about $9,000.
MI'NEESE'S ELEVATOR .
is the first one erected in the city, as an experiment. It is a small frame building, not intended for the storage of much grain, but furnished with the machinery necessary to transfer grain from the wagon to the cars. It can elevate and load about five thousand bushels of grain a day. In 1880, the first year it ran, it handled over seventy-five thousand bushels of wheat. It is owned by W. A. McNeese.
THE BREWERY
is owned and run by Messrs. John Helm and Jno. W. Siebe, and it is owing to their energy, intelligence and enterprise, that it has reached its present dimensions. The establishment is now worth, at the least, $50,000. The brewery was started in the spring of 1866, on a small scale by Messrs. Zeilliger & Heller. In 1867 the latter became sole proprietor, and erected
.
535
HISTORY OF SEDALIA.
the first brick building, three stories high and sixty by twenty-two feet. The cellar and malt house were enlarged. Until 1873 the brewery did a fine business, when Mr. Frische became a partner. That year the malt house burned. The loss embarrassed Frische & Heller, and in 1873 they sold out to F. Schill and John Helm. In 1876 Schill sold his interest to Jno. W. Siebe. At the time the present firm took hold of it the brewery had a capacity of twenty-five barrels per day. From 1873, on to the present time, the proprietors have added brick buildings, new cellars, new ice houses, almost every year.
The main building is 50x55 feet, two stories high. The mash tub has a capacity of 120 barrels. The brewing kettle has a capacity of eighty-five barrels. The establishment now covers over an acre of ground, has cellars that will hold 500 barrels of beer, and over them are ice houses which will hold 1,000 tons of ice. From top to bottom of the establish- ment is the best machinery known in this line of business and the estab- ishment is an excellent one in all respects. The annual business done by the Sedalia Brewery ranges from $45,000 to $65,000 per annum. Fred. Helm has a large bottling establishment in connection with the brewery and sends off large quantities of the beer put up in neat and convenient shape.
CITY MILLS.
This flouring mill is located on the corner of Lafayette and Third streets, and is owned by Chas. Neeson. It began operations in 1877, and has increased its capacity year by year. The mill has three sets of burrs and all the modern mill machinery. It has a capacity of grinding from 250 to 300 bushels of grain in a day. The property is worth about $7,000.
THE CAPITAL MILLS
is the oldest in the city, having been established in 1867 by Messrs. William and Theodore Hoberecht. The building is of brick and frame and is the largest in the city. In 1881 $7,000 was expended by its new proprietor, John F. Antes, an additional story to the building, and a complete new lot of machinery for the interior. Every late invention in milling machinery has been placed in it, and it is now as perfect in all respects as a mill can be. The mill now has a capacity to grind 130 bushels per day or 39,000 barrels per annum. The value of the property is about $25,000.
BRUNKHORST'S SAW MILL
was established in this city in the winter of 1SS1, and began operations early in the spring of 1882. This mill makes a specialty of sawing hard lumber native to Missouri, such as black walnut, wild cherry, maple, oak, sycamore, linn and cedar. The property is worth about $7,000. Not
536
HISTORY OF SEDALIA.
only ordinary lumber is produced, but timber is cut into shapes and sizes suitable for such establishments as manufacture furniture, mouldings, etc., etc. The mill has a capacity to saw 8,000 feet of lumber' per day and now has all the work it can possibly do.
WOOD AND COAL YARDS.
There are four regular institutions of this kind and a few which deal in fuel in the winter only. The following is an estimate of the business done by them:

INTERNAL REVENUE.
A deputy collector of the United States Internal Revenue is stationed at Sedalia-Mr. Harvey R. Wheeler. No figures of the amount of rev- enue collected in previous years could be procured. The brewery gets a large amount of beer stamps outside of the city and these are not included in the estimate. The proprietors of the brewery say that they pur- chased in 1881 about $4,000 worth of beer stamps. The following figures for 1881 were furnished from the collector's books:

BRICK MAKERS.
There are two regular brick yards in the city which do a large business and are compelled each season to bring in brick from surrounding towns to supply the demand.
W. E. LASHMET,
in 1880 made and put into houses 580,000 brick, the estimated value of which in the walls was $4,850. In 1881 he made 1,000,000 brick, a por- tion of which were laid in walls by his workmen. The estimated value is $11,460. The increase over 1SS0 is considerable, but could not be exactly estimated.
537
HISTORY OF SEDALIA.
JOHN POHL.
In 1881 made 1,800,000 brick, and the average price for which they sold was $6.50 per thousand. He employed twenty-two men at an average price per month of $35, and five teams at an average of $3 per day. He consumed during the season 450 cords of wood at an average price of $4.50 per cord, or a total of $2,025.
The total number of brick used annually is estimated at 3,500,000.
THE MISSOURI PACIFIC STOCK YARDS
are located in East Sedalia, and cover an area of about five acres. They have suitable buildings for offices, stables and granaries. All the yards are furnished with an abundant supply of water from the city water works. They will accommodate about 1,500 head of cattle and there is sufficient land adjoining them, owned by the railroad company, to enlarge them at any time that it is necessary. Mr. John R. Skinner is the pres- ent manager.
GENERAL BUISNESS.
Nothing is more suggestive to the thoughtful mind than statistics, the actual array of tangible facts about any subject set forth in figures. The business history of Sedalia can be understood by those who live after this generation is dead and gone and by those who have never seen Sedalia by simply examining the figures relating to her business. The writer has devoted a great deal of time and labor in the accumulation of the following tables of figures. They were procured by a personal can- vass and interviews with merchant after merchant, firm after firm, from the beginning.to the end. The reader will at once see what branches of business were represented by wholesale houses in the year 1881 and 1882, and the amount of business done in each branch, by an examination of the table:
Boots and shoes, hats and caps, books and stationery, dry goods and notions, hardware, stoves and tinware, glass and queensware, agricultural implements, wines and liquors, rags and scrap iron, hides, wool and furs, grain, proprietary medicines.

This does not include eight retail firms which do an aggregate of $25,- 000 worth of wholesale trade annually. This would make the total trade for twenty-three wholesale and eight retail firms amount in 1881 to $2,301,930,
The above gives a general idea of the wholesale trade. The amount done by each separate branch can be seen from the following table; also the increase on the diminution of trade.
