New Tents—Further Information.
ELD. J. SANBORN: We immediately forwarded your inquiry to Bro. Adams of Chicago, from whom we now receive the following additional information: Gilbert, Hubbard & Co., 207 South Water St., Chicago, Ill., will furnish 60 feet tent-tops of 12 oz. duck, wall, 7½ feet, of 8 oz., with center ring and hooks, guy ropes, ropes and tackle, everything complete and ready to set up, for $425.00, excepting the wooden poles, both center and side, and irons for the guy poles and stakes. The poles and irons will cost from $40 to $70, according to finish. I think it would be best to get poles and irons where lumber and labor is cheaper than here, and also to save freight. Where practicable, it would be best to write the makers before ordering, as it may be to your advantage. Duck has declined in prices since the 1st inst.
