To our many customers who have patronized us so liberally during the past twelve years, we think it unnecessary to say anything as to the merits of our goods; but to those who have never handled or seen our Mantels, we wish to say that our factory consists of two brick buildings, one fifty by one hundred and fifty feet, five stories high, and one forty-five by one hundred and twenty-five feet, four stories high. Connected with the factory we have two warehouses, one twenty-seven by one hundred and sixty feet, three stories and basement, and one thirty by one hundred and twenty feet, four stories (just completed), giving us storage facilities for several thousand Mantels so that we can run to our fullest capacity during the early months of the year, when the demand for Mantels is never heavy, and by this means accumulate stock so as to be in position to fill orders promptly when the Mantel season opens up. In addition to the above we have just erected in the suburbs, at Oakwood, a new factory, fifty-two by two hundred and fifteen feet, three stories high. This new factory, as well as our old one, has been fitted throughout with all the latest, improved, labor-saving machinery and enables us to produce the very best quality of Mantels at a minimum cost. With our new factory we have a capacity far in excess of any other Mantel factory in the United States. We have more than doubled our Dry Kiln capacity this year, assuring at all times a full supply of thoroughly seasoned lumber, which is by far the most essential factor in the pro¬ duction of strictly first-class Mantels. Have also placed in operation a new Saw Mill, especially adapted to making our own lumber, and have our own men and teams in our own forest, cutting choice timber for same, so we are today actually operating our plant on the forest to the fire side system. We wish to impress upon our customers that they can now place their orders (large or small) with us, feeling assured that we are in position to execute same promptly. All of our Mantels, regardless of price, are made of thoroughly seasoned kiln dried lumber. The finish and workmanship are first-class in every respect and equal to the best on the market and far superior to most of them. All Mantels carefully packed and delivered at railroad depot free of charge, and in all cases we get for our customers the lowest rate of freight we can possibly secure. We wish it distinctly understood, however, that our responsibility ceases when the goods are receipted for “in good order” by transportation companies, and all claims for freight, overcharge, or damage to goods while in transit must be settled with the carrier. While we are willing to assist in settling such claims, they must under no circumstances be deducted in settlement of our bills. Mantels not quoted are discontinued and will only be made on special order at the usual advance for special work. We respectfully request our customers to confine their orders to Mantels shown in catalogue, as far as possible, as we cannot give prompt service on designs that are not made regularly, and carried in stock. We solicit your continued patronage and will give all orders our prompt and careful attention. GRAND RAPIDS ENGRAVING CO. PRIN T FRS No. 712.
