DON'T wait till mid-summer or late in the fall. Commence now before the rush, while you can get plenty of material cheap and while meohanics are not crowded with work. Every season repeats itself: A big rush late in the season and a lull "in the early spring time when the violets bloom." We have a fine stock of lumber and we are equipped to get out detail work for the finest kind of finish. A superior quality of buildings are what we are looking for this season, now that the permanence of the town and. country is assured. J. B. STODDARD, Manager.
