G S H APPLEGET, wishes to inform
the public at large, that he is prepaied to
furnish Plans of all kinds of buildings,
with working drawings in full, which will
be found much plainer than those of any
other man in the State, he being a practical
builder, having an experience of 15 years in
three of the largest cities of the United
States- He can answer any question or give
any information in regard to the construc
tion of any part of the building, .as he is
fully qualified to go and do the work him
self. With 15 years as a builder and 14 as
an Architect, he knows just what is neces
sary tor a mechanic to get along with, and
with this experience you will at once see
that he has a pretty good knowledge of the
business. You can judge for yourself as to
whether a man is an Architect without be
ing a practical builder. Some in this State
claim to be Architects when tlty have no
knowledge of the business and can only be
called draftsmen, and need some one to in
struct them at all times should they under
take a job. For the last six years he has
been employed in this State, and has don
all the best buildings, with only a few ex
ceptions in Raleigh, Goldsboro and Greens
boro, and almost all over the State, where
persons can see his work.
In Charlotte he would call attention to S
P Smith's Iron Front Building, and Sims Sc
Dowd's Store, and a number of the private
residences here.
He refers to all who have employed him
as Architect ana Superintendent, as to his
ability, He can furnish, if any desire them,
the name of parties and buildings, but can
not do so here for the want of room.
He can show as many fine buildings as
any other man of his age, and will take
pleasure in doing so, Any person visiting
Charlotte is invited to call and examine his
drawings, which be has at least 500. He
guarantees to have 50 to-1 of any other per
son in the State. All are invited to exam
ine them whether they are going to build or
not. The ladies are specially invited.
