SOME SPECIALLY FINE WORK.
What is being done at Crow anu Mars
toms Car:i:,.re Works.

We doubt if very MANY of our citi-
zens have any idea Of the really
creditable work in the way Of carriage
building that can be done right here at
home. We have seen this week two
vehicles turned out at Crow & Mars
tons coach shop that would do credit
to any builders in any town. One was
a two horse wagon built especially for
Mr.. II. 4. Smithwick. of Steedsyille.
and the other is a buggy made for any
one who may choose to become the
happy owner of such vehicle.
The wagon is special order, some
what larger than the ordinary, and is
extra strong and durable. 1t is built
of the very best material, well put to-
gether and is perfect in every respect.
The wood work was done by Mr.. George
Harper, a master mechanic, and every
piece was made by hand. The ironing
was the work of Mr.. Arthur Smerdon.
one of the most skillful and expert
blacksmiths in the State, and is all
hand forged The finishing touches
with the painters brush were put on
by Mr.. Robert Grow, who is an artist
in his line, and as it stood complete as
it left the shops, it was a irritable
thing Of beauty and will no doubt be a
JOY to its owner for good long time.
The buggy which is one Of the pref
test and best made vehicles of the kind
we have seen turned out anywhere.
was the product of the same master
hands. The wood work is Of the very
best split timber and the ironing is all
hand-forged, even to the fifth wheel,
which in the common makes Of bug
gies is usually cast iron. 1t is COM
pact, we'll proportional and strongly
built. and is flushed in the most artis-
tic and wcrlmanlike manner. 1t is a
beauty and will be a treasure to some
counting man in all probability.
1t is gratifying to be thus able to
write Of a home enterprise, and we are
glad to see merit among our local me-
cllanics receiving the reception and
appreciation it deserves. These gentle
men not only turn out such work as
will compare favorably with that done
elsewhere, but their prices are equally
as low, all things considered.

sink barrel into the ground at some
convenient place in your yard and fit
it with 4 tight cover. Wrap each head
separately in an old newspaper and lay
it carefully in the barrel. Place the
lid on the barrel. some straw on the lid
