HossACK 4 MORRISON
Are the leading painters of the city, and We
think that no painter ever welded the brush
With more artistic skill. Some Of the finest Jobs
Of honse painting, granting, frescoing, &C., in

formed a co-partnership, and their success in the
outset was greater than was expected Their es.
