These popular g.ocers made display that
was not only credit to their Justly popu-
lar house, but to the celebration itself. In
| fact, a representation of the commercial pur-
/ cnitc nf IlnlIou yt,ithApt Of Epaiharce u
Co. would be incomplete. 1t is questioned
If there is larger ar more COM

CRADDoCR's BAR
Was the most thorough representation, per-
haps in the entire procession, and attract
ed universal attention. 1t was a representa-
ton of bar complete with all the etcetras,
including the famous bell punch, and every
time the crank turned ring
from large bell improvised for the purpose
registered the drink. A crowd
sat around table drinking beer and other
liquors, while the willing witness sat aside in
one corner, taking down, in sneaking way,
the names of those who drank, keeping a
sharp lookout to SEQ that the bell punch
rang. II WAS a good get-up,
in keeping with Craddock's we'll known
saloon, corner of Main and Austin streets,
the branch Of which is located under the St.
George hotel. None but the very best brands
Of liquors are dispensed to customers, and
the more temperate drinks sre prepared in a
style to suit the taste of the ,aost fastidous.
This popular house has gained for itself a
most enyiable reputation, because Craddock,
its gentemanly proprietor, will keep none
but the very best goods and urbsne and ac-
commodating employees.
