this fall and can give abundant refer-

The greater portion of my lumber
was worked at the mills of T. H».
McGraw & Co., in Bay City, Michigan
and the quality of mill work is unsur-
passed. My stock was all bought for
cash and the greater portion in the
Summer previous to the advance in
freights and prices. I will deliver to
any point required at reasonable
prices by rail, team or vessel: I guar-

cases where it is desired furnish piece

not heretofore visited me,
