is fixed at the British capital.
The raw skins are shipped across
the United States in barrels and

Among high Grade wheels
the Monarch is in the front

1t is made OF the most eXpen-
Sive and best material. 1t Is
made with the greatest care
and attention to details, by the
most competent and experienc

the latest catalogue, the manu-
faCturers say:

pains, no expense, no time or
trouble has been spared to put
