Owing to the condition of my health it has become necessary for me to give up nearly all my work in Mrs. Green’s bakery, and must now turn my attention to some other kind of employment. By trade I am a carpenter, but my physical condition will prevent my attempting anything but light carpenter work. I can, however, repair furniture, sharpen edge tools, file saws and fix many things that need repairing about your house. Satisfaction guaranteed. If you have any furniture to dispose of give me a call; perhaps I can use it. J. P. Green, South Weston Street, near Phone 477.

The repairs for both were made free of charge. Henry went across the Detroit river into Canada, spending a few hours at the town of Windsor. Both had a fine trip, returning home Thursday evening.
