Everybody Just aoU is looking at fast

iorse worth, il he is not harnessed up in a
ip-top vehicle, either for individual or tami-
y use ? And, again, what is fine vehicle
worth, unless it Is made in throughly sub
staniial and workmanlike manner ? A car
riage may look handsome, and yet be run to
pieces in q few months, while a well made :
carriage will last last for years and always
look well. We ask our readers TO think of
these things; and if they want a first.class
article, we would remind them that one Of

aud superior skill. Mr.. Preizschner's fac
tory has had celebrity for over twenty
years, second to none In point Of excellence
in material or construction. The sale will |
take place on Wednesday morning, Septem-
ber 2ed, al II O'Clock, when fine opporlu-
nifty will be offered TO purchasers 10 get good |
bargains from this valuable stock.
