enlly pur-diased tlie livery stock, (rood

ntl'-ineti caiii have a business inde
pendent of the livery business so that
Harrison makes a gain of the new firm
without the loss of the old one from the
,.ir,.e of Imsmess men. The new firm is
ompowd of two young, energetic husi

exiK-riem e ut the liverv business and all

be w ell (-:irl for by them.
