Haines & Kirk have placed a blue
stone step in front of their hardware
store which is a fine block of stone.
While the borough is shipping in
these blue stone sidewalks and
crossings the citizens have good
chance to obtain flags and steps for

cost as the freight is obtained at car
load rate when coming with the full
car load. This stone is not only
beautiful but is cheap, and not only
Haines & Kirk but Jos. S. Pogue
saw this chance; also the church
and j. Leroy England, the latter
having obtained 800 square feet.

ments are not only for life time
