IMPORTANT N0T1C*F ^^ reply to frequent inquiries, w^e would say, we have no connection 

 \ \J I iv^L^. whatever with any other compan3^ Do not be misled because you see 



the name Dingee & Conard Co. unchanged. Neither Alfred F. Conard nor Antome Wintzer have an> 

 connection with that concern, but long since left it entirely, a nd though that Company still retains 

 Mr. Cpnard's name because they think it their interest to do so, and cannot be legally prevented, he has severed all 

 connection with them years ago. All communications intended for Alfred F. Conard or Antoine Wintzer 

 should be addressed to THE CONARD & JONES COMPANY. West Grove, Pa., where they will receive prompt 

 and carefiil attention. Please be careful to always address.
