E.(Edward) P. Denn, the reliable horseshoer, at Dorchester Avenue and Barnes Street, Ashmont, has reduced his trade to an exact science and is recognized among horse owners as one of the leading representatives of his calling in this part of Massachusetts. Mr. Denn established his business in 1893. His shop is 30 by 60 feet in dimensions, has three forges and is equipped with all of the latest appliances and mechanical devices for the successful operation of all kinds of work. Four skilled mechanics compose his staff of capable assistants. Mr. Denn attained such a degree of perfection in his skill that he is able to guarantee to stop interfering and lameness in horses and to correct overreaching, cross-firing and other peculiar gaits and to successfully treat corns, quittors. quarter cracks, thrushes, rot of the feet, as well as wounds received from nails picked up in the street or elsewhere. He guarantees complete satisfaction in everything he undertakes to perform. Rubber tires are also repaired in his establishment, promptly and effectively and automobilists patronize his shop in large numbers when their tires receive disabling and vexatious punctures, while on the road. A good stock of Hartford and other high-grade reubber tires is constantly kept on hand.
Mr. Denn was born in Troy, N.Y. He has been engaged at his trade for the last twenty-three years and has made a close study of all its details and, for that reason, has attained the remarkable proficiency which he now possesses. Telephone Dorchester 114-4.
