comfortable street of Old-faslnoned, rOomy houses,
with front yards before and gardens behind, into a
crowded, bustling thorougbfare Of business, i
learned for the first time of Il manufacture, OF
which il seems to be my duty to apprise you at

"toga Victory Manufacturing Company" l knew
very well that great deal of capital was invested
