Source: Clinton Semi-Weekly Age, Clinton, Iowa, December 17, 1895
A LONG LIST OF PROSPEROUS BUSINESS HOUSES.
Clinton a Great Wholesale as Well as Manufacturing Center.
That Clinton is a desirable point for manufacturing, and wholesaling as retailing can best be illustrated by publishing the long list of business houses which are either exclusive wholesalers or being manufacturers or retailers give considerable attention to wholesaling and retailing. Those which are exclusively wholesalers are extive ones. In groceries, tobaccos, meats, etc., traveling men cover territory as far as three hundred and fifty miles from Clinton, and in factory products 1200 miles is not an unusual journey for a shipment:
