BUSINESS MEN JOINING "GYM'
A number Of the business men cf
the city are taking advantage of the
opportunity offered them for physical
exercise at the gymnasium. After ~
first of the year the number will be
greatly augmented. For the business
man who is in his office or store the
greater part of the time, no tonic is
better. As the season is partially over
the cost will be one dollar per month
The use of the gymnasium and shower
baths twice a week for this amount is
indeed, very reasonable. And, if you
join, you assist in supporting an instr
tuition Of real merit.
