S25 REWARD

/ had 2 shoe shine machines stored
in a small sheet iron building at the
yard of the Currie Co, n. S. Carolina
and Mediterranean avenues, Atlantic
City. This building was sold to a par
ty who removed it. The building was
taken to Absecon, to be erected there
as an oil house. My goods, consisting
of 2 crates and a box, were removed by
someone without my knowledge or con
sent. Upon investigating the matter l
found one of my crates in the posses
sion of the party who bought and re-
moved the building. This crate was
returned, as the party said it was of
no use to him. Several days after the
other crate was returned to the yard
secretly. | received no notice of it,
but found it there by accident. I have
reasons to believe that the party that
returned this second crate has the box
in his possession. This box contains
6 bronze foot rests, the shape of the
above cut; one electric motor, one
eighth horse power, fastened to a cast
iron base with 4 grooved wheels and a
switch to operate it; 2 flexible shafts
2 feet long, 6 circular brushes, about
so feet of flexible wire, and some fit
tings. | think this box is stored some
where in Pleasantville or Absecon. 1
will pay the above reward for any in
formation that will lead to the recov-
cry of the above mentioned goods.
