Livery, Feed and Sale Stable, cor. Walnut and Adams Street
These well-known and largely patronized stables were opened about 15 years ago by J. M. Thomas. After a time the firm became Thomas & Bowers, then Bowers
& Weeks, then Weeks & Son, then Weeks & Kimbrough then C Kimbrough, but soon gave way to Smith & Gilbert, who in March, 1883, were succeeded by the
present enterprising proprietor, Mr. Web Gilbert. These stables are conveniently located on the corner of Adams and Walnut Streets and are 120 x 40' in dimensions,
to which is attached a buggy shed 60 feet in length. 65 head of horses can be conveniently accommodated. From 12 to 18 first-class roadsters are kept for
livery purposes and Mr. Gilbert is prepared to furnish as fine a turnout in the shape of a single or double livery rig as can be had anywhere in this section.
His patronage is large and lucrative, his being one of the leading stables and Muncie. Mr. Gilbert is a native of Monroe County, but came to Muncie
24 years ago. He was identified with the median grain business before taking charge of his present enterprise. He is reliable, prompt and courteous in all his
transactions, is establishment being a representative one in every respect.
