Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Republican Progress, February 4, 1885, p. 3

From all the surrounding counties the people flock to Bloomington to examine Tobe Smith’s wonderful display of beautiful goods. His store is a sort of museum, in which every article ever hear of is kept. He is a skillful watchmaker, and turns out some splendid work. The famous five cent counter attracts great crowds when the weather is warm enough to spread the goods out doors. No Store in Indiana carries a better stock of fine jewelry, silverware, watches and clocks.
