Modern Equipment.

In no line of business has there
been such a radical change for the
better. than in that of plumbing in
this city. For several years in the
early history of this city, small
stocks and of only the very plainest
lines were carried by those assuming
to be in that line of business. 1t
might be said too that the character
of the work done was somewhat prim-
tive, as compared to the splendid san.
itary work which is now being done
all round.
Among those who have kept in the
van of the march of improvement is
the O. 7. Trobitz plumbing house.
Mr.. Trohitz has been engaged in tho
business in this city for about four
years and in that time he has kept
right to the fore with everything
known to modern plumbing. The
workmanship of his house is the very
best and no job is called complete
without having passed the critical ex-
animation of Mr.. Trobitz himself.
who gives the final word that the
work is done and complete, so far AS
first class mechanical work can make
it.
Mr.. Trobitz has elegantly appointed
ware rooms at No. 3I9 Main street.
Here can be seen hath tubs of the very
latest models, toilets of every descrip-
tion, water basins. with beautiful
designs in nick ii plated faucets and
connections of every description.
Back of the display room, which is
all in white making it doubly attrac-
tive, is large workroom and beyond
there is still another large workroom
for rough work.
Connected with Mr.. Trobitz in
the capacity of foreman of the work
is an experienced plumber of many
years experience, Mr.. o. H. York and
between these two gentlemen the
work quality has no other mean
ing than that all work turned out
must be strictly first class.
Altogether Mr.. Trobitz' warerooms
and offices and the plant complete is
entirely creditable to him and plumb
ing cannot be left in better hands.

/ fear of being struck down by the deadly

complished fact and those who go to
the Crawford theater will see the thrill

in that far off country, and thereby gain
more accurate information about these
greatest of modern naval engagements
than could be obtained by any other
method. These views have been secured
at great expense and will be seen hire for
the first time in this country. TIL whole
world is talking about the war, anxious
to hear and learn about it and an OPP
portunity to be taken 10 the scene of
hostilties to witness the battles as they
were actually fought is one that should
be greatly appreciated and should draw
crowded houses at each performance.
