Patrons of the newspaper -- "These are gentlemen whose advertisements appear in the Review"
Mr. Harter is a very liberal advertiser. In the space of a half column, the very round, Uncle David keeps it before the public that he has an elegant stock of dry goods, carpets, notions, etc.

Review 27 Feb 1897 p 5
Oldest man in the city
is the father of Dr. Ensminger
living on Main St who is now in the 98th year of his age. He is in
fair health. Next oldest is Mr. Rice, father of John Rice. Should he live until April he will be
94 years old. He walks once or twice a week from his home on South Washington
street to his son’s house on Water Street, a distance of four squares and is
not complaining much of his health. The next is Mr. Paire living on Market Street. His age is
claimed to be 92. This man is a wonder
at that age. He works daily on the street and is as good a man as the average
laborer of 50. He aided in cutting the
big ice crop for Martin & Son last month and made a full hand. He earns
generally from $1.25 to $1.50 per day and is ready to work at any employment.
It seems entirely out of place for any one at his age to be engaged at work.
The next aged men are David Harter, IF Wade and Elder MM Vancleave whose ages
are about the same, being we believe 87 years.
