Title
The Equal of Any Mechanic on the Continent
Description
George Way has learned from the newspapers that the President has been empowered by Congress to raise more troops who will obviously need equipment. He therefore touts his capacity for constructing and supplying, on the most economical terms, the following: carriages, wagons, gun carriages, wheels, and harnesses. He is anxious to serve his country in this manner so enlists Hodgdon's aid in convincing the Secretary of War that he is the equal of any mechanic on the continent.
