Notes |
- J STREBEL.
It is many years ago since the enterprising gentleman above named established his harness manufacturing business. He has, by a course of fair and honorable dealing and turning out of superior work, not only built up a large trade but has made the business popular with the public. Mr. Strebel has had long experience and is an expert workman. He manufactures all kinds of harness, light and heavy, double and single, collars, etc., and keeps constantly on hand a full line of horse goods, blankets, robes, etc., in fact, everything to be found in a first class harness shop.
