The other afternoon while a number of gentlemen w“re standing near Messrs Johnson and Gwillim’s stab Ls. they were somewhat startled by something whizzing in close proximity to their faces and striking with considerable force the building close by.

Tan-ol (which is a cream put up in bottles) is used in thousands of homes, because it is really the best article for linoleum, as ii not only polishes, but cleans and preserves it.
