OUR experience in the business which we adver-
tise to conduct, and our thorough acquaint-
ance with il in all its branches, enable
the public that any work entrusted to will be
executed in the most workmanlike manner, and
with the utmost dispatch. Having stood to their
posts in the Confederate army during the four
years struggle which it so manfully encountered,
they have located in their native county, where
their services are offered in building up the waste
places and in carrying practical reconstruction.
Particular attention given at all times to the
drawing of plans and specifications; and in the
construction of
GEOWETRICAL STAIR WAYS,
where calculation is required. they are confident
that they cannot be surpassed by any workmen in
the Valley OF Virginia,
!ks- Being well known in the community, they
deem il unnecessary to say more, than that orders
left for them viii receive prompt attention.
