accommodations for the travelling

many years by Samuel Hagenbuch, is
now owned and conducted by J. w.

formerly known as the Snyder stand,
and was the property of the late John
Snyder who was its landlord for long
time. Frank Ricketts,, at the Rick

for the general public. The old
Unangst stand has not been licensed
for some years, and is used as a pri.
