First Class Tailor Shop.
J. McKenzie, formerly of Sump

Anderson building, and on the lower
floor will conduct a general merchant
tailoring business. Mr. McKenzie
has had years of experience in this
business, and his opening such an
establishment here will fill a long felt
necessity, and should by all
receive the patronage of all.
A line of furnishings and ready
made clothing of a reliable house,
may be added in the future, but at
present only a tailoring business will
be done. He has already opened
his shop, and while a delay in the
making of tables will inconvenience
him for a few days, he is now con-
ducting his business along these
lines.
