are both young men and have ap-

making fast progress in his plans
for a new ice plant and is sparing
no expense to equip it with the
highest grade machinery. A limited
amount of stock at 500 share is,
available and Mr.. Denton is anxious
to complete the subscriptions within
the next few days.

a most serious stage In Paris ana
