Will Open For Business Saturday.  New Billiard Parlors Pretty Place.  Mr. Aaron Rubin, manager, announces that the Brunswick Billiard Parlors will open for business Saturday, March 19, This new amusement lace is located in the Ferrell store room, Masonic Bldg., and is one of the most attractive places of the kind to be found in the State.  The building has been completely remodeled and many necessary additions made.  The place is equipped with seven billiard and pool tables.  These tables were purchased from the Brunswick Company and are the best made.  The place is brilliantly lighted and there is every convenience for those who patronize it.  Mr. Rubin, the manager, says that he will conduct a place that will appeal to the very best class of citizens of the city; that nothing will be allowed to go on that would in any way injure the reputation of the place or detract from it.  Mr. Rubin says that the fees for games will be reasonable and every attention given the patrons.  Mr. Rubin before coming to Somerset to open this business worked as a watch repairer for Mr. E.H.
