 1 1 i 1 jpi/l Ldi 1 L 1 ^ v/ LI WC« nection whatever with any other company. Do not "be mis- 

 led because you see the name Dingee & Conard Co. imcliaug-ed. Neither Alfred F. Conard or Antoine 

 Wintzer have any connection with that concern, but long since left it entirely, and though that Company 

 still retains Mr. Conard 's name because they tliiiik it their interest to do so, and cannot be 

 leg-ally prevented, he has severed all connection with them years ag-o. All communi- 

 cations intended for Alfred F. Conard or Antoine Wintzer should be addressed to THE C05f ARD & 

 JONES COMPANY, West Grove, Pa., where they will receive pi:ompt and careful attention.
