Ora Jon 0rricE is now the most complete
one, not only in the city OF keokuk or IN the
State of Iowa, but in the entire West, and We
challenge the public, and tbe craft generally.
To disnroye our assertion. We have more
fonts of tyne, including all the latest styles,
more presses-sll Of the finest kind, and from
the best manuiacturers-and more material
than can be found in any other one once
West of the AlIegsnies. We have fitted this
nm AT an immense cost, and in few days
shall have every press in the building running
BY steam. The remodeing and repairing o.
the interior OF the building for these appoint
ments will. by that time, We hope, be com
Melted. shen We invite the public to an in
spection of the establishment The business
men of our city, and of the surrounding com>
munity. both in Iowa, Illinois and Missouri,
and all other parties desiring book or job
work done in superior manner, on short no
lice, and on the most reasonable terms, and
by the best 81 wcrkmen, cannot do better
than to send or bring it TO the GATE CRY
office. In fitting up this establishment we
have spared neither time, labor or expense,
as all will agree after passing through It and
seeing its superb appointments, fine ma
chinery. and convenience of arrangement
We intend that il shall be not only an honor
TO the city Of keoknk, an institution in which
every citizen will take an interest, and feel a
pride Of having in their midst, but one that
Sill be an honor 10 Iowa and the Northwest ;
or this We have labored, and shall continue
0 labor, trusting that our efforts will be APP
preciaied by tn. public. and that they will
leal generously by US in giving US that pat
ronage which we shall ever try to deserve.
