Licenses

facilities for this purpose. In answer to a query, he advised that
he did not supply any of the local grocers with his products and was

finished. It was explained to them that the weather got too cold to
finish the job, but that it would he finished in the spring and that
the scheme called for the payment of the work in advance.
