Messrs. First & Allmon, on the N. W. Corner o!
Seventh and Shipley Streets, where there can be
seen at any time a large stock of beautiful CAR

Der OF the firm are both practical workmen and
give the business their undivided attention. We

well to give them call, as they viii find them
pleasant and accommodating and will spare no
pains or expense to suit those who may favor
them with their patronage.
