ANNOUNCEMENT!
Realizing that my plumbing contracts diverted my activity as electrician, and in my bicycle business, I decided to dispose of the former to the experts I was em-
ploying, viz: Messrs. Jones & Clew, to whom I have sold my entire plumbing business and equipment, and to whom I most heartily recommend old and new
customers. Meanwhile, 1 wish to announce that 1 shall now give my undivided attention to my electrical and Bicycle business and all orders will receive my
prompt and careful attention. Thanking my patrons for their past splendid support, and soliciting a continuance of same in the electrical and bicycle line.
