Mine host, the genial Bob Maher tenders the warmest of seasonal greetings to his clients and the town generally, and extends the “spot” of good cheer which all true gentlemen cannot afford to ignore. J. H. BURNS. There is no need to introduce the merits of J. H. Burns’ tip-top bread, or in fact any of the well-known products of this bakery. Residents have long been conversant with the high standard of food values in every article of diet which leaves the premises.

The art of cycling was evolved about 1780 when the inventor astounded the citizens of Manchester by gliding downhill on a two-wheeled contrivance which would have done credit to Robinson Crusoe.

Well, to see the progress made since then, just make an inspection of Morris and Gibson’s stock in lower Sloane Street.
