 Ut is fact worthy of mention and ought to attract general attention that it don't make any difference what in the world you want done, you can get It done in Russellville; anything made or repaired, anything wrong put to right, and the old made new; anything built from trunk key to a steam engine. There is more mechanical genius in Russellville than in any place of it's size In the United States.
