And with that end in view they have in part accomplished their desire, and will keep on improving their work and facilities to make until they feel in reality that they have a first class carriage for very reasonable price. They claim for their work
 GOOD MATERIAL, WORKMANSHIP AND The cheap trade they are not catering to :; but to good, healthy trade that has business reputation, and is desirous of keeping it by dealing in good goods. They warrant all their work to be of good material and workmanship.
