NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
Since the residence of J. A. Kleinbekman has been quarantined, I have
removed the tailor shop from its old location next to his residence to the
corner, just north of Pete Goebel’s residence and south of its old location.
The shop and all its contents have been thoroughly and carefully
disinfected, although the sick person never entered it, and the Board of
Health authorities and the physician in attendance announces it free from
all disease germs. During Mr. Kleinbekman’s absence, I will conduct the
business and cordially invite all old as well as new customers to call. ~
