were esta blished in 1870, and have had an
unusually successful and prosperous ca

90 II. wide, with an addition. The nickel
work turned out is of the highest finish
and possesses the greatest durability and
longest wearing qualities equal to any
done in this section, or In the country, for
that matter. OF such superior quality is
ii that the company's patrons come from
sll parts of New England as well as New
York State. In addition TO plating the
concern does n business Of great maRni-
