The new furnace tor the school house arrive! last week and was brought out by F.lirck Urns. It was found that .-everai days would tie required to Eureka Harness Oil The proper oiling of a harness i- of vital import-ine to the hvither. It is worse than waste to let the harness i:et dry, biittle and rotten. A harness oiled us it should he needs very fe repairs. The beet method of oiling harness is to entirely immerse the same in the harness oil until every piece of leather is made soft and pliable. We have prepared ourselves for the oilini; of harness by installing an improved tip to-date oiler, or hipping Tank, and in connection with this tank we are using Knreka Harness Oil, acknowledged to he the best harness oil on the market. This oil does not merely form a coaling on the surface, but penotartos the leather, preventing cracking and breaking. Eureka Harness Oil (ills the pores of the leather and makes it water proof. It contains no acid and will not become laucid. In short, Eureka Harness Oil nukes old harness like new. Bring in your harness and W" will oil same at a reasonable price, and we are sure yon will be more than satislied with the result. V. E. FOSBERG CO. - 'vv?
