stationery of any kind send your
orders to The REPUBLICAN.
Prompt attention will be given all
work and satisfaction guaranteed.
We make specially of envelopes
at So per thousand. These envel-
opes are white and of good quality.
Money is so plentiful in New
York that twelve months loans can
be made at 4 per cent, the lowest
rate ever touched for a year. One
per cent is the rate for short loans.
The lack of demand for money
means that business men are watch
ing and waiting.
Benjamin II. Sincell, proprietor
of The REPUBLICAN, has put an
engine in his printing establish
ment, and his presses and other
machinery will all be operated by
steam. We are glad to note this
evidence of prosperity. -Oakla
