 Dunlop 's facilities for making telegraph 

 deliveries in distant places. 



Portland, Me. — E. J. Harmon & Co., 

 formerly on Congress street, have re- 

 cently opened their new store in the 

 Baxter block. This is said to be the 

 finest appointed and most up-to-date flo- 

 rists' store in New England, and com- 

 pares favorably with any in the country. 

 One feature that is sure to attract much 

 attention is the electric fountain and fish 

 pond which is in one of the windows. 

 This fountain runs itself, the colored 

 slides passing across underneath the il- 

 luminated water by the use of clock work. 

 The little jets are all brilliantly lighted 

 up, and together with the many fish swim- 

 ming about in the tank below, make an 

 especially attractive display.
