snead & Co.-ArchitecturaI Iron Works

This concern has been in operation near 80
years; they make iron fronts for stores, iron
ratings and gates, jsils and cells, verandas
and balconies, sash-weights, air CRATES and
every description of iron work used in build
ings.
Iron work is very low now, and every one
putting up new store should have an iron
front; they are durable, do not obstruct the
light, and are ornamental. Iron ratings are
almost as cheap as first class wood ones.
This concern is now doing large amount
of work in Cincinnati, and have executed
lstely large contracts in st. Louis and Chicago;
they propose to compete with any one in
prices and quality of workmanship

MY DEAR AMELIA:
