sclenCouS plumbers, lHLo WHOSE nandS
the plumbing of some of our best build
ings is given. Beginning his apprentice
ship when but fifteen years of age, Mr..
Duffey has now an experience of eighteen
years as practical plumber.
The value of this experience is shown
In the fact that he has been EMPLOYED to
plumb such buildings as the Brown Block
and the building occupied by Hooper,
Son & Leighton, furniture dealers on
Congress street, the l.. D. Austin resi-
dence, Thomas street, and the n. NJ.
Deane residence, Spring street, both of
which buildings are plumbed in the most
approved manner in what is known as
open plumbing" and finished in nickel
plate work. He also does all work
needed on the harrington estate. To say
more for him would be superf1uous. Mr..
Duffey is most conveniently located at No.
63 Union street, where he carries full
supply of plumbers materials.
NJ c. Hutchinson
Mr.. NJ. G. Hutchinson IS a native Of
Pembroke, Washington county, and
brings to his business of plumbing, that
keen intellect and determination to excel
in all things undertaken, that is SO
characteristic of Maine men in the affairs
of life. &lu ssa I'd
Located at No. 10S Bracket street.
Mr.. Hutchinson deals in plumbers sup
plies and specialties of the best grades
and the most approved modern sanitary
appliances. Here scientific plumbing
and the very best workmanship are the
standard, and patrons take no chances OF
poor material or cheap labor, but can
rely on all contracts or orders for plumb
ing, ventilating, conductors, or general
1o5bing, receiving the full benefit of his
practical knowledge and personal super
vision.
Poor plumbing means foul air, foul
ar means sickness, doctors bills and
death: Good plumbing is conducive to
good health, therefore the bill of good
plumber should be met with more sat
isfaction that of the doctor.
With a personal knowledge of Mr..
NJ. Z. Hutchinson's long and progressive
experience from apprentice to master
plumoer and expert engineer in all that
pertains to the ventilating and plumbing
OF modern building, the PRESS is in a
position to assure the public that work
committed to the care of Mr.. Hutchinson
Will be performed in a manner that the
laws OF health and the proner sanitary
CONDITION of our homes, Offices and fac.
tories demand. Ivy
A thoroughly competent plumber
should have a full knowledge Of the
building and inspection laws of each
city in the State. This Mr.. Hutchinson
possesses and he gives especial attention
TO making plans and figures on contract
work. The reconstruction of improper
~ plumbed buildings is a part of his
business, which his practical knowledne
OF the trade makes him well qualified TO
care for.
An investigation of such admirable
structures as the new Baxter Block, the
Portland High School, and the plumbing
In the residences of Messrs. Hamlen and
TABOR, and the mansion of Hon. Payson
Tucker at North Conway, will prove the
Justice OF our commentators of M. C.
HUTCHINSON as practical and scientific
plumber.
w. A. Lowe.
At the head of the plumbing business
in Portland stands W. A. Lowe, whose
office and supply rooms are located at No.
16 Free street. Mr.. Lowe has been
practical plumber for 20 years, for % of
which he has been engaged as master
plumber. That he is a master of his
trade is we'll illustrated by the fact that
many of the other master plumbers in
Portland mention with pride the fact
that their apprenticeship was passed
under his instruction.
Modest to a fault in presenting his
claims for public recognition, the fruits
of his labors command notice when Port
lands building interests are mentioned.
The plumbing of the Union passenger
station on ST. John street, the elegant
residence of A. S. Kinds in which the
piping and general plumbing is of the
very best, and in the mansion of Mr..
Fred E. Richards, the plumbing Of which
has been attended to along the lines of
modern sanitary construction and artistic
design and finish without regard to ex-
pense, are masterpieces in the mechan-
ism of correct sanitary plumbing, were
Tho plumbing in the Union Safety De-
posit & Trust Company's premises, the
Checkley House at Prout's Neck, aud the
House at Scarborough are also
evidence of the skill, care and attention
which Mr.. Lowe gives to every detail.

men who attend to and do much of their
own work is of any value and RESPONSE
bility in the plumbing of building, then
