THE STAR LIVERY STABLES

The Star Livery Stables of Mr..
b. L. Pickett, is one of the land
marks of Scranton, and it is a
noticeable fact they are now being
fitted up, cleaned, whltewashed and
otherwise put in order as though
no financial depression had ever
been felt in our community.
Through all the financial vicissi.
tides of the past seventeen years
the Star Livery Stables have never
varied in price, except in conformi.
ty with surrounding circumstances,
and these prices have always been
uniform without respect to persons.
Cool horses, nice comfortable bug
gies, neat and clean Offices, warmed
by stove ia winter, prompt atten.
ton night aud day, characterize the
Star Livery Stables. Mr.. Pickett
has now, in connection with his
stables a nice glass enclosed hearse,
as nice as can be had ia any country
town, which be has fitted up SO that
our people may enjoy the luxury of
a decent burial. With these refec.
it must be seen that this insti-
-utiOn is a public benefit, and ed
serves the support OF the citizens.
