more than the heading Of this article i'm
plies. Having a practical knowledge Of
twenty five years in the business, he
knows to a certainty what he is doing
when he starts out to build a fine vehicle,
and invariably accomplishes his object.
Possessed of this knowledge, he naturally
abhors shoddy work that in the past few
years has become so prevalent. There
fore he handles none of it, and al
though he has been frequently solicited to
do so, he has never allowed a job of this
kind to enter his house except for repair.
Our young men oftaste and knowledge as
to what a vehicle should be, in all partic-
ulars, las to styles elegance and durability
are we'll aware ofthis fact, and as a rule,
drive a Lilly buggy. We found in his
warerooms doctors buggies, extension top
phatons, light top buggies, road wagons,
etc, etc, perfect models in their respective
lines; modern in style, elegant in finish,
composed Of the very best selected mate
rial, and built blythe very best mechanical
skill in the country. As a reward for Mr..
Lilly's perseverance, in producing nothing
but the best in his line, we found him
head and soul in business, with several
orders for different kinds of vehicles
ahead. Give him a call ond examine his
stock, fine has nothing to suit you, gel
him to build you what you want, and you
will ride securely in an elegant vehicle
that will last you a lifetime.
