referred TO by the Observer:
The publishing house of Sheldon & Co.

accession of two sons of Mr.. Sheldon, So
that the firm now consists of the father

Gated and trained men Of business.
This house is one of the oldest,

also to see SONS and brothers united in

and it is sign and seal of strength.

Everybody knows That railroad freight
tariffs are fearfully and wonderfully
made. Concerning this the Pittsburg
Manufacturer says:
AS one of the curiosities in oilfreights,
it is said that barrel of oil can be
shipped from Plttsburg by river to Gin
cinliati and then reshipped all the way
by rail to Lancaster, Pa, at twenty-five
cents less cost than the same can be
shipped direct from-this city to Lancas-
ter. Perhaps some scientist can tell us
why it costs so much less to ship Oil one
thousand miles than it does to ship IL
two hundred miles.
