OF ROCK COUNTY following the City
of Beloit]
-
- CLINTON JUNCTION,
- located at the crossing of the Chicago
and Northwestern and Western Union
- Railroads, is one of the finest villages
in the County, possessing equal railroad to any other town. The
trade of the town is good, being surrounded by a very rich agricultural
district. No better evidence of the business prosperity of the
place can be had than to see the number of business places all
well stocked up in their respective lines of trade. The buildings,
public and private, are good, reflecting credit on their owners
as well as the town. The society of the place is good, and schools
and churches are supported with a zeal highly commendable. The
present school building is a commodious frame structure, sufficiently
large to accommodate the public who patronize the school. At
present there is but little manufacturing done in the place.
The carriage-works of F. P. WALLIS & Co., located
here, belong to a thriving business. The reputation they hold
has been well earned by turning out a superior class of work,
excelled by none, and equalled by but few in the State. They
make fine work a specialty, and are shipping all over the country.
A view of their buildings can be seen in this work.
