Bloomington (Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana) Republican Progress, October 5, 1881, p.3. For five years John C. Voss has been carrying on the watch repairing and jewelry business in this place, and in that time he has established a reputation for skillful workmanship, fair dealing and honesty, that any young business man might envy. Last week, learning that Geo. Rouse of Bedford, was desirous of selling out, in order that he might take the road as a commercial traveler, Mr. Voss went down and closed a trade with Rouse, paying him $2,000 for his stock. Having had an intimate personal and business acquaintance with Voss, we take great pleasure in recommending him to the people of Lawrence county as a man in whose skillful hands they can trust the most delicate work, and upon whose honesty they may invariably depend. He is a No. 1 young man in every particular.
