II. ". VERT & co.

On Wednesday morning we dropped in at the
model carriage factory Of Fl. W. Wertz & o., and
examined some ofthe fine Work that is stored in
their salesroom, for which they have become SO
widely and favorably known. They have on
hand an unusually large and elegant stock Of fine
carriages, buggies and other light vehicles single
and double, which can be purchased now at un-
precedentedly low prices. Those new and ele-
giant side-bar carriages which are fast becoming
so popular, cannot be bought more advantageous
ly in the United States than they can right here at
home The beauty and durability of the work
turned out by Wertz is SO well known that it re-
quires no praise, but speaks in convincing terms
for itself. To those contemplating the purchase
of any vehicle, we can say that now is the time to
secure unequalled bargains, and we would advise
all such to visit the WORKS of Wertz & Co., Poplar
and Seventh streets, Canton, Ohio.
