W. F. Shaner has been a resident of Ottawa for twenty-one years and conducted the Shaner Hotel seventeen years, and it is safe to say that there are few men in Franklin county so well and popularly known as he. He buys and sells buggies and carriages and rents rigs of all kinds to those who may want a vehicle. He sells watches and in his stock there are many genuine bargains. Mr. Shaner is noted for his fairness in dealing and his word can be depended upon under any and all circumstances.
