Ace, Cincinnati, Ohio, are very successful and excellent mechanics. In
the spring of 1851, (one year ago) they put in their "sealed proposal"
for the plastering of the public buildings of the county of
Hamilton--alms-house, &c.--and got the contract, which required ten
thousand dollars' security. The work was finished in fine artistic
style, in which a large number of mechanics and laborers were employed,
while at the same time, they were carrying on many other contracts of
less extent, in the city--the public buildings being some four miles
out. They are men of stern integrity, and highly respected in the
community. David Jenkins of Columbus, Ohio, a good mechanic, painter,
glazier, and paper-hanger by trade, also received by contract, the
painting, glazing, and papering of some of the public buildings of the
State, in autumn 1847. He is much respected in the capital city of his
state, being extensively patronised, having on contract, the great
"Neill House," and many of the largest gentlemen's residences
