himself seven years, and was thirteen
years before that with D. G. Greenleaf,

as dealer in the finest wares of his
line. That reputation Mr.. Egan has
carefully guarded and retained, main
tanning all the old prestige of the house
and adding also thereto. He has skilled
workmen in his manufacturing de-
partment, and can turn out fine work
