For example, Mr. Ramsey not

A wealth of authentic Colonial design in dining room groupings of enduring beauty
Whether you want just a taste of Early American flavor or a bountiful banquet, put
American Review by Drexel on your menu. Every chair, every table is history, interpreted
in fine cherry veneers on native appalachian hardwoods (cherry, maple, birch, beech)
and finished with an heirloom look. Have everything in warm, mellow Vintage Cherry,
or choose selected pieces in dark brown English Tavern reminiscent of “Merry Oide

Spain. Come admire the antiqued and bottle-glass doors in the china cabinets. Examine

J. O. Bacon said, "and the cost
keeps going up.
"We’ve installed litter barrels
along many of our roads,” he
explained, “but we still have
to pick up trash that has been

directions from these barrels.”
Mr, Bacon urged motorists
to take a feu extra seconds to

"The little time spent by every
driver to properly dispose of
waste,” he said, "can save them
a lot of dollars that will help us
keep their roads In better re

Mr. Bacon said he was thankful,
too, for the day's help by the
