They Build Good Bridges.

The Berlin Iron Bridge company of East
Berlin, Conn, are again running full time.
10 hours per day, six days every week The
fact that this company have been able to
give employment to their force on full time
during the year past, when almost every in
dustry has been more or less seriously af
fectcd, i. surely good recommend for the
management and the quality Of work which
they manufacture. With the exception Of
March and March is the duh month in the
bridge business. this corporation has run
fun time FOR the past year.
We do not think there is a corporation in
the State of Connecticut if there is one in
the United States, that can boast of similar
record. The company now has contracts
ON hand sufficient b keep their full force
employed ON fun time until the first of July
and as at that time the busy season in bridge
building opens the company hope to he able
to continue full time during the entire year

year. Nearly everybody will
serve some kind of Wine or
Liquor, and there is no place
where you can be suited so well
in your selection as at the Cali
fornia Wine House. Some peo-
pie think Wine is an expensive
article, but since the introduction
of pure California Grape Wines
by the original California Wine
House hundreds of Helena fami-
lies have found out to the con-
trary, and we do sell them within
the reach of the most moderate
purse. You can have them by
the gallon or bottle as you wish,
We have no wines under 3 years
old. All brands OF Whiskey,
Brandies and Imported Liquors
and Wines in stock. Look over
the following list and pick out
what you want.
