OMB had no reply forthcoming.%u00ae LETIQUETTE A New Shop!H IA tla n tic G a rd e n s 539 A tla n tic A venue B ro o k ly n , N.Y. 11217 875-2059Giftware, Accessories, Glassware,andHand Silkscreened GreetingcardsHAIRCUTTINGFORMEN & WOMENThe Cutting Denn HAIR CARE CENTERShampoo & Cut $8.75and upLocated in Hotel St. George Arcade(C lark & H e n ry Sts.)
