3
a manufacturer of display fixtures, which involve the use of stamping
machines and spray painting.
President Finney suggested the company become acquainted with the

Fischer Porter $39 more
Wallace Ternan 305 more
Everson 173 1more
All companies could make delivery in one or two days after receipt of the
