STANDISH & IVES, PORK PACKERS, &C.
This firm was established in 1856 by 6. D. Standish, Esq., and carried on very
succesfifully and extensively until two years ago, when he associated with him Caleb
Ives, Esq., (President First; National Bank, Monroe,) since which time they have
greatly increased their business, packing troln 5,000 to 10,000 hogs annually, thus it
will be seen that this is the place at which to trade, as the larger the bus'lness the
greater the advantages offered. They also deal largely in wool, handling from
500,000 to 1,000,000 lbs. annually and do a general commission business making n
speciality in hogs and wool. They have a very prominent location, being on the
market square. Tile public will find this n reliable and well established firm and
one in which the iullest confidence may be placed. Their house is 88 Michigan
Grand Avenue.
