The Grand Opening Will Come OH

Owen, Moore company is one OF tine pes'
known firms in all New England. Ihelf
trade extends, even as far as Mexico, LOT
it will be remembers how. some years
Ego the PRESS gave an account OF Sne
conservation of rose leaves, put up pSsohe
firm, that was in such demand that
the call for it came from beyond the
confines of the States. We mention this
fact simply as an instance of how far
their goods are carried.
Lately the firm has felt that they must
have greater facilities for the transaction
of business. Their desire was promptly
met by the owner of the building in
which they have been established SO
many years, and the structure has been
entirely transmogritied at great expense.
Today it will be opened in it's new and
handsome dress to the thousands Of pa
irons of the house who will vie W it with
admiration.
