post OF duty In the office attending to the
many business transactions during Mr.. Fick's
temporary absence on the outside, delivering
10 their thousands of patrons pure Ice cream
and select oysters, each In their season. They
have an Immense local trade In each of these
branches, because they serve the very best
article this market affords at reasonable rates,
and deliver the goods to all parts OF the city
without any extra charge with promptness
and dispatch. Their business has 80 increased
that they were compelled to look out for
more commodious building where they could
transact their immense trade with greater
facilities. They have shown admirable fore.

and Odors from cooking Will be conveyed
through the roof by pipes, consequently the
entire building will be free from those odors
which are go distasteful ID SO many ladies'.
