The undersigned wishes to inform the people of
Highland and vicinity that we are better than ever
prepared to furnish anything in our line at
BILE figures. We have one extra good workman, who
understands making all kinds of collars, and we
would ask all to call and examine the kind of stock
we are using. We have just bought a large stock
of that old fashioned oak-tanned leather from c.
Benton & Co., Penn. Now, this leather is very
expensive, by the time We pay the freight, and in
order to have 'small profit we will have to have
a little more for harness than the usual price.
But the investment will "pay big" as a set of
harness, either light heavy, will last, if oiled
twice year, not less than fifteen years more
than thirty Now this is extra leather and it will
not crack break like ordinary, about all of the
oak-tanned leather. We buy through the jobbing
houses Of the West. Our collars will be made out
of the same tanning, and also our leather hy-nets
they will last nearly as long as the harness. if
properly taken care of. We will make a speciality
of double and single buggy harness. Don't forget
the place. NORMAN CASE.
