Prominent Plumber Who is Handling
Many Of the Largest Jobs in
st. Paul.

con uected with the proper construction of a
business block or residence building than
perfect plumbing. We will all acknowledge
this, and though plumbers are used in the
newspapers as the butt of an endless food OF
sarcasm, they are as necessary to our exis-
tence as the fuel we employ with which to
make US comfortable. Health depends on
II, and the more rapidly we advance into
improvements, the more pertinent it is that
we should consult our own interests BY seek

lures of modern Improvements embraced in
his line. AS in every trade there are many
inferior and incapable applicants for patron
age, and one cannot be too careful in a
matter of such paramount consequence as
bis plumbing.
Among the prominent houses engaged in
this line in 81. Paul we are pleased to note
the progress and envisble reputation gained
bv our wide awake citizen Mr.. John j. Ward,
at Seven Corners. During the past five
years, in which he has been engaged in this
branch of trade for himself, he has accom-

/ the liberal patronage he has been receiving
and the satisfaction coming spontaneously
from every one of his patrons, places him in
4 the front ranks of our many plumbers.
He is D. Paul man by birth, living here
continuously since, and his early
/ training as an apprentice was GER
/ tainly entrusted to excellent hands, working
/ in turn with such well known houses as

dergast Brothers.
In moderate manner he commenced for
himself over five years ago and his business
has constantly increased until it has reached
the splendid proportions evident in his
handsome store at Seven corners.
Besides his specially which he personally
superintends of plumbing and gas fitting he
carries thorough stock of hardware, stoves
and tnware, handling exclusively in our
city the famous sure luck ranges, and Bur
dett, Smith IL Co.'s (Chicago) well known

He has handled many large jobs in the city
and has Just closed tie contracts for the
chamber Of commerce building and the Ram

prominent citizens as J. w McClung, r. A.

engaged are the two elegant residences OF

Mr.. Wards corps Of assistants are all wei
tried, competent workmen, and 1t will be t.

feel confident that he can handle their work
in the most satisfactory manner. He refers
