We can sell anyone tne tumoer tor a house, the wagon to haul It on. the harness for the team, the shingles tor the roof, the nails and other hard ware, and the tools for erecting the house. Then we can furnish It from kitchen to Darlor of course, after It ts painted with colors that we can fur nish. Then we can iurnisn me pants with clothing, can stock them with groceries, medicines, with every thing needed to have a complete and Derfect establishment.
