RESUMPTION OF THE GILLILAND 
COMPANY.

    The Gilliland Electric Company, Adrian, Michigan, has resumed, on a large scale, the manufacture of telephone and electrical specialties. The Gilliland Company, which was organized in 1887, for many years manufactured all the pins and brackets for the largest telephone and telegraph companies in the United States.
    Mr. James F. Gilliland, the manager of the company, is one of the best phone men in the telephone business. He comes from a family of well-known telephone men, and himself has invented and patented large numbers of electrical and telephone devices.
    The Gilliland Company has installed complete wood and metal working machinery and is prepared to furnish at the lowest market prices all forms of cabinet work, pins and brackets, and is also equipped to manufacture many articles which ordinary manufacturers could not handle at a reasonable price.
    The Gilliland Company, which was organized fifteen years ago, has made for itself an enviable reputation for high-class goods, and respectfully solicits correspondence with any one interested. Its plant, with the capacity for one thousand men, enables it to fill all orders with promptness, and its favorable situation gives it exceptional advantages with regard to the cost of manufacture. Every article manufactured by the Gilliland Company will be of the highest grade of quality and absolutely guaranteed.
