Artistic printing is one of the achievement of the pint few
years, and when it can be procured at the same price paid tot
less attractive work It should be eagerly sought for. The estab
lishment of David Bteel, In Portland, is under the mechanical
superintendence of George II. Himes, whose reputation u aa
artistic printer is not confined to this city nor state. Every
thing, from the smallest card to the largest book, is turned out
with promptness, taste and accuracy, and at figures that ought
to be satisfactory to any person desiring good work. Orders
by mail receive ipecial attention. Parties living at a distance
can secure the superior work of this establishment by sending
in their orders and permitting the manager to use his own
taste in executing it. This house is one of the oldest and most
progressive in the city in any line of business.
Spring is upon us and soon the routes of travel will be
thronged with people seeking investments in the west. Their
attention is directed to Vancouver, the terminus of the great
Canadian Pacific in British Columbia, where real estate invest
ments offer special attractions. There are, too, in that growing
province, many good opportunities to secure timber and agri
cultural lands and mining property of great value. Hand
brothers, with headquarters at Vancouver and New Westmin
ster, IS. C, and London, England, are the leading dealers and
investment agents, and should be consulted by everyone seek
ing good investments. They have handled millions of dollars'
worth of property the pait few years, all to the best possible
advantage of their patrons. Their integrity is unquestioned
and their knowledge and Judgment are invaluable.
