We took Roberts in on our return trip . . .
We took Roberts in on our return trip and spent a few hours pleasantly among her business men. Meserve & Hubbard, bankers and grain dealers; Thompson & Lyman, hardware: Floyd & Newman, R. B. Chambers, Pfaat & Gose, and Anderson & Campbell, dry goods; Thos. McNeish, boots and shoes and harness, and A. D. Wyckoff, drugs and books. The latter is a new comer from Chebanse and will prove a valuable acquisition to Roberts. We must not forget our brawny armed workers, Taff & Tinklepaugh, who run the wagon and blacksmith shops, and was fat and rich at the same time. Roberts has a fine country surrounding it and just as fine a set of business men and citizens as any town in the west can boast.
Geo. H. Thompson was at his post again, after a visit of some weeks in the East, and finds the prairies more attractive than the hills and rocks of New York.
The hotel de Newman is a marked improvement over the same house as we remember it several years since. A dinner enjoyed at that house is not soon forgotten. We can commend it to the wayfarer as the place where the money's worth is always to be had.
We had contemplated taking Melvin in our route, but wind and weather said no, and we shall be obliged to set apart another day and accept the invitation of our friend Charley Ellis to hunt chickens with him, though we have not the most remote idea that we shall be the death of any.

More Observations from 1873
Part 2 of 3
Her little business world is peopled by a genial crew. J. B. Meserve, (whose absence prevented our scraping his acquaintance) presides over the finest steam elevator on the G., C. & S. Railroad, with J. V. Riggs as assistant, while Thompson and Lyman dispense Lumber and Hardware; Montelius & Co., Gose & Smith and Flora & Newman do the fair thing in the line of Dry Goods and General Merchandise. Tom McNish looks after the good of men's soles, and does the agreeable in a well appointed boot and shoe store. E. A . Bushor, horse tailor, presides with urbanity over his department, while Samuel Tapp and A. Orr, play the anvil chores to the hum of industry. Peter Pfaat kills the beef, while H. Tinklepaugh divides his time between selecting the choicest places for the guests of the City Hotel -- of which he is proprietor -- and making and mending the wagons and carriages of his neighbors. Miss E. McMasters supplies those airy nothings, which the ladies dote upon and de?? bonnets, while G. H. Waldo belongs to that much abused class -- station agents.
