Transcribed from the page image and checked against the original; spelling and punctuation are as printed, and words broken across lines are rejoined. The trailing printer's code is omitted. Capital letters are also as printed: papers set the first line of each ad in capitals, so the capitals stop wherever that line ended, sometimes in the middle of a word.
