Without this information, it is impossible to expect that you will ever re trieve any article you may lose.” Can Claim Articles Just a look inside that green cabinet will show shelves of text books, several watches, a dozen assorted class rings, wallets, pur- Shoup-Mong Mr. and Mrs. Russell Mong of Tionesta R.
