Township, Montgomery County, who
lives about three miles from Hatboro,
committed suicide in an unusual
manner.
He took an endless roller-towel from
the kitchen of his house, and, going to
the henery, inserted it through one of
the strong roost-sticAs, placing the
lower loop or fold of the strong, coarse
towel beneath his chair. He leaned for
ward, threw his weiSht on the towel
and deliberately strangled to death.
When his daughter entered the chicken
house at feeding time she was Mortified
to find her father kneeling there dead,
with his neck in the towel and his
broad hat still on his head. Mr..

and leaves a family. Financial trouble

A Card Of Thanks

While the rulers of nations and the gov
ernors of states have been in the habit of
issuing Thanksgiving proclamations, and
often saying what they do not mean, we
feel it to be our pleasant duty to return to
the people of Waterbury and surrounding
towns the sincere thanks which they so
richly deserve for our wonderful prosper
ity and phenomenal growth since 1888. In
these days of heavy failures and unbridled
rascality in the commercial world, the
swindling of customers and the misrepre-
sentation of goods, we cor fess that we
were almost discouraged in the idea of
building up a business upon the priuci-
pies which alone should win success,
namely Upright conduct in every partic-
ular, honest dealings in all its details, and
keeping close eye on tho market so as to
give the whole people the benefit of the
lowest prices on earth. How we'll we
have succeeded we will let the people
Judge.
1t is refreshing to ourselves to know that
| a firm can be successful on these princi-
Piles in these degenerate days when every
enc is trying to test his neighbor, and it
| must be source of satisfaction to the
people at large to witness it, Four years
ago we outgrew our capacity in the
| :irand street building, and ever since we
have been struggling for more room. To
thuse customers who have borne with US
| when we could not show our goods to ad-
vantage, when we could not deli, er always
on time, we feel indeb. ed for their
kind indulgence. We pride ourselves on
| one point, however, that no one ever made
| a complaint to us about any article Of
goods that we did not make satisfactory.
In opening up our new establishment
which is larger by 800 square feet than any
other furniture house in this section of
the state, we have brought to our assis-
lance men of large experience in some of
the best houses in the country who como
to us recommended as gentlemen of the
highest character, who are thoroughly
eonversant with the furniture trade in all
its details. We hope to be open Saturday
April s. We are selling goods right
along from the South Main street
store but we cannot open our doors as tho
finishing touches are not completed The
Grand street entrance will take you to any
part of the new building, where you can
inspect our stock. Our Undertaking de-
partment will be up stairs on the Grand
street side, where our patrons will be able
TO select what they require at prices that
will merit their confidence. Again thank
ing the public for their liberal patronage
we will continue to remain the publics
obedient servant.
