Among the newest established of our business places is the first-class laundry carried on by the enterprising gen- tleman above named who purchased from Messrs. Halstead Bros. a short time ago. In going into this basiness he is well qualified by experience and ability to make it successful and judging from the trade already worked up, a success he will make. The laundry is equipped with all modern appliances and first-class work turned out. If any of our reader's have been in the habit of sending their laundry out of town we would advise them to try him.
