Bowlby & Hall, with their fine stock of
goods, their steam coffee and spice mills and
facilities for furnishing those articles pure

.houses in any inland town in Northern Ohio.
We take pleasure in noticing the evidences
of their prosperity and success which their
constant efforts to meet the wants Of the
public so richly merit.
