lIThe Commissioners appointed to
view and assess damages to the land

We think our hardware merchants
would find it profitable to keep a sup
ply of lightning rods, SO that persons
wanting them would not be compelled
to deal with men whom they suspicion
as being sharpers.
We would say to the men and boys
that we give all our time and ability
for your interest as well as our own.
Remember this,we have goods only for
the men and boys.
