during the most severe weather without
suffering from the cold. While the first
cost of these coats is considerable they
will last for long time, making them
very cheap coat to purchase.

partment stores in the city during the
holidays. When the sale opens there will

The new gasoleue engine purchased by
E. s. Welch has arrived. 1t is a fifteen
horse power engine and will furnish Mr.
Welch excellent power for his business
This is the third engine of the kind placed
in the village during the past few years
each OF them producing above five horse
power. These engines are costly and when
once installed the owners will not feel that
they can throw them out for some Other
power at once. When everyone who has
use )r power of any kind is supplied witt
a gasolene engine the village will decide
that it is time to arrange for electric power
and then sonnet hing will be done aoont it
The matter should have been taken in hanC
long ago and these people who are usine
gasolene engines should be supplied will
electric motors. 1t will cost sonnet hing tt
get the plant in readiness to furnish power
but the investment will then pay muct
better than it is paying at present.
