their personal appearance.

often the case where less care is taken.

enterprising and: progressive gentle
man, who believes in giving the Gus
toners the benefit Of any improvement
which may be made in his line Of busi-
ness and in making the chnges as in
vilerate as is compaluable with conser-
vative business methods. They turn
out work with the utmost dispatch,
and will be glad to call for and de-
liver orders, and telephone calls will
receive careful and immediate attention.
