A SUCCESSFUL HARNESS MAN.
John A. Rank. 122 S. Broadway, has
a stock of harness, sadlery and all
harness fixtures that is creditable
alike to the city and •<> himself. The
store Is jamed full of "horse millinery"
and equipment of every description.
The workshop also is large and also
contains surplus stock. No. 1 oak tan-
ned harness leather is put together by
him and his assistants who know the
business thoroughly. What people
want in harness is something that will
last as well as appear well. These
qualities are embraced in goods
bought here. Repairing is a specialty
and this, like goods sold may always
be relied upon as most substantial.
Mr. Rauk has been here for 17 years.
He served a full apprenticeship at the
harness-making business and has had
an experience of over 40 years. There
is no half way work turned out from
this shop and people who don't know
this are rapidly finding it out. Rest
stock with careful, substantial work,
reasonable charges and clever trea'-
ment of the people are his rules, with
always a large stock to select from.
