Gnatzig Carriage House

05 08 1902

Ed Gnatzig, proprietor of the new carriage house, 5th street,

says to prospective buyers of carriages and wagons:

We have just completed unloading and putting into our repositories the largest and most complete line of high-grade vehicles. The new 1902 Break seat runabouts. Stanhopes, driving wagons, heavy and light top buggies and surries, trimmed and finished up in the latest patterns, with steel or Goodyear rubber tire, built by the Racine Wagon and Carriage Co., the largest manufacturers in the world of high-grade vehicles. This is our first shipment, so that we have no old style or shop-worn goods - all new and fresh from the factory.

And as we want to get started in business here, we have made the price on them to meet the price you have been used to paying for ordinary cheap goods, so that if you are a prospective buyer of any kind of vehicle it will well pay you to come and at least give us a chance before buying, as we have twenty different styles of vehicles to show you, and are sure to satisfy you and save you some money.

Come while the line is complete and get your first choice. If we cannot sell you a new rig let us repair your old one, as we have the most complete repair shop in the city. And we are still building the best and easiest-running milk wagon on wheels.

Also all kinds of special delivery wagons out of the best timber and bone-dry at Ed. Gnatzig's, 107 to 115 5th Street, Zautner's old stand [Reinhold Zautner, blacksmith, 111 5th, res. 107 5th], where first-class repairing and horseshoeing is done by practical mechanics. All work warranted.
