Mandatory in Alexandria, has hitherto
been severely felt by builders and 9th
ers, who have been compelled to make
use of wood, which is neither elegant nor
durable. The various forms into which
the metal can be shaped have given 1t a
decided superiority, and thu difference in
he price is very tr'f'ng. The subscriber
has been at considerable expence in pro-
curing the necessary prepara''ons' agd
relies on public enterprise for success In
the undertaking.

the dimensions of their sa.hes, can have
them made at the same price as il in town.
