store is modern and all the latest things in
mems wear that appears on the New York
and Boston markets appears here almost
simultaneously. Prices are equally as low, so
that nothing is gained in profitstyle or work
manshp by buying outside of Bradford. The
department of mems furnishings is new and
brilliant in selections and that of shoes dis
plays the rare Judgment of the buyer. All
the latest styles in hats and caps are found,
and the ladies will be pleased with the accep-
table styles and qualities in capes and cloaks.
The assortment of trunks and bags is COM
plete in sizes and extra qualities as is also the
horse clothing department. In the season
Mr.. Baker is one of Orange county's heaviest
dealers in fur goods, in overcoats, etc., and
in fact is recognized as headquarters in the
line. The gentlemen should remember that
in connection with the sale of clothing Mr..
Baker takes orders for custom work which is
guaranteed to be equal to any obtained any
where in New England. This store through
out is most conveniently arranged and the
stock admirably displayed showing the excel
lent Judgment and taste of the proprietor and
his polite assistants, who do all in their pow
er to render the store a pleasant place to
trade Mr. Baker is native of Thomaston,
Maine, but when four years of age moved to
NewIIampshire where he remained until COM

the requirements of the public and by follow

purpose there is not finer building in Yer

and engaged in this business in the block
which was burned in 1882. After that fire he
erected building upon the present site, which
also burned about two years ago and was fol-
lowed by the present creditable building. 1t
will thus be seen that Mr.. Allen is one of the
oldest photographers now in business in New
England. All these years have been spent in
practical application to the art. and few men
in the prosecution of the details of their call
ing. This long experience, together with the
invarable excellence of his work, has placed
him among the leading photographers of the
state, a reputation which is fully warranted
by the extra large display of fine work now
on exhibition at his gallery. All work per-
tanning to the art is here executed, a speciality
being made of cabinet and larger photographs.
Mr.. Allen is an artist of rare ability, and his
work is conceded to be far superior to any
obtained outside the larger cities. His pat

There are very few villages of Bradford's
population that are able to compare favOraby
In the matter of enterprising clothing and
general dealers. Enterprise seems to be the
watchword in Bradford, and one of the firms
most prominently identified with the trade of
the village is that of Doe Bros. This firm has
been in operation eight years last March.
They occupy nicely appointed quarters on the
east side of Main street-a central location
and utilize three floors of the building. The
stock, as indicated by the heading, is varied,
the leading line of goods being that of cloth
ing, in which they carry n stock that is un,
surpassed for quality and late styles. In
clothing they have built up Il remarkable pat
ronage, which comes from large surround
ing country, and taking that in connection
with their other magnificent lines of mems
hats and caps, trunks and bags,
iewelrv, silverware, boots, shoes, fur goods,
and ladies' cloaks, capes and wraps, the store
is entitled to be classed with the leaders of
Orange county. They display highly cred
liable stock of siverware in both flat and
hollow goods, and in jewelry show everything

Nothing reflects more credit upon Brad
ford as a mercantile center than the presence
of so many od-established stores. That of
j. NJ. Warden. which is among the most eX-
tensve of the village and would do credit to
MANY larger places, was established by that
gentleman in the year 1858, in what was then
known as the Old Pricbard store. He re-
manned in the south end of this structure 10
years. and the end of which time he fitted up
the north end and carried on the business

block was completed. Any attempt here will
fail to describe accurately the choice character
of the stock carried by Mr.. Warden, for so
varied is its character that it must be visited
to be thoroughly appreciated. 1t seems that
the proprietor has been endeavoring to render
the stock elaborate in every particular, and as
to how well he has succeeded large majority
of the people of this section testify by grant
ing him a large share of their patronage. The
most omnivOrous book-worm cannot fail to
satisfy himself in the very large stock of liter
ature carried, both in books. periodicals and
dailies, while in school books and supplies
Mr.. Warden supplies not only Bradford but
many dealers in the surrounding country,
doing an immense business in that line alone.
No pains have been spared to make the de-
partment of jewelry especially attractive, and
it is not only complete in beautiful and tasty
personal ornanentations, but in the best
makes of foreign and American watches as
well, in either gold or silver cases. There is
a nice STOCK of clocks. and the brilliant dis

ware has no superiors in Orange county.

c. II. CARPENTER.
Undertaken and Dealer in all Kinds of
Household Furniture.

The furniture business is nicely represented
in Bradford by that enterprising and whole
souled dealer, Mr.. c. III. Carpenter. He con-
ducts store that is a credit and an orna-
ment to the business. Mr.. Carpenter estab-
lished this now prosperous business 10 years
ago and formerly occupied the Geo. l.. Butler
building. Upon completion of the elegant
and substantial Opinion building in 1899 the
stock was removed to. the admirable sales
room contained therein. The quarters are
3OX60 feet in dimensions, eXcellently lighted,
thus atlording the most advantageous display.
The variety in goods is all that the most eN-
acting purchaser could wish, from an ordinary
dining-room chair TO the finest plush-covered
parlor or antique finished bedroom suit. A
speciality is made of the finer grades of goods.
such as upholstered suits and individual
pieces finished in the richest colors and finest
grades of cloth, along with the latest designs
tured by the most celebrated houses in the
United States. The prices are as low as can
be found anywhere, and on many articles GUS
toners can save money here. The second
story of the building is also utilized, and here
is the conveniently arranged undertaking

burial baskets and funeral supplies. Taken
altogether the stock is highly credtable one.
and is kept constantly replenished with all the
new things that appear on the market. Mr..
Carpenter is Vermonter and was born in
BroOkfield. He came to Bradford at the time
of establishing his business in 1884 and has
been one of the villages most valuable citizens.
He is prominent member of the Champion |

ticular mention is that of bicycles. Doe Bros
carry such celebrated makes of bicycles as the
Columbia, Lowell, Diamond and Gales They
also carry number of second hand bicycles,
and have machines to rent. This is by no
means a small feature of their business. The
boot and shoe department is one of the lead
ing of the village, and they have Il separate
and exclusive department for ladies cloaks,
wraps and machintoshes, in which they carry
the latest styles and patterns at the lowest
prices to be obtained. In nothing will this firm
allow themselves to be behind the times, and
it is on this procedure that they have gained
their valuable reputation. The individual
members of the firm are Nlessr>. f. +. and L..
W. Doe, both of whom are too well known to
need an Introduction to the people of Brad
ford, since they were born and raised in their
midst, and in their relations have always been
known for answering integrity.

BOSTON CLOTHING STORE.
One of the Largest Clothing Houses IN
Eastern Vermont.

Eastern Vermont.
The very familiar clothing house of Mr.. o.
r. Baker, which was established by that gen
tleman in 1888 and Is known as the Boston
Clothing House. is without doubt one of the
largest houses of the character in Eastern
Vermont, and enjoys Il patronage worthy of
the capital invested. Mr.. Baker first began
operations in what Is known as the Franklin
block and later removed to the Bliss building.
The present admirable quarters in Stevens
block have been occupied only about two
months. The store consists of two floors, di-
vided into various convenient apartments,
coyernga together 5000 square feet of floor
space. The stock may be said to represent 10
distinct departments, namely: Clothing, hats
and caps, mems furnishings, horse clothing,
trunks and bags, ladies' cloaks, capes and
wraps, boots and shoes, rubber goods. and
fur goods. In each of these lines Mr.. Baker
carries most elaborate stock composed of
the choicest goods the market affords, and

became sole proprietor of the business in 1885,
since which date the store has been collecting

G. c. Bagley. 1t is located on South Main
street near the Opinion Manufacturing Co.'s

to the work in hand. The entire building is
utilized-the lower story for the departments
of iron work, wood work and construction,
and the upper story for painting and finish
ing. The plant is thoroughly equipped with
all the necessary machinery, and a sufficient
force of practical and long experienced work
men are constantly employed. All classes of
vehicles are here turned out or rather we
should say kinds, for Mr.. Bagley manufac-
lures only one class of work and that is pro-
nounced by everybody as first class. Mr. Bag

ton AS an expert workman to place upon the

Ii was two years ago last February that Mr.

HOTEL Low.
One of VermOnt's Modern and Well X cpt
Hotels.

| The Hotel Low, which forms such an APP
precative item in the attractiveness of Brad
ford as a summer resort, was erected five
years ago, and opened TO the public on June
l. 1890 We are pleased to present a good
picture of this now popular hoStelry, but no
attempt of ours will fully describe the beauties
of its location and surroundings of the gener-
Gus and open hearted hospitality that it is to
be enjoyed within its walls. The Hotel Low
is undoubtedly one of the most desirable sum-
mer hotels in Vermont. Contrary to the some
what misleading impression created by its
name it occupies a site high above the beauti-
full green valley of the Connecticut which for
miles up and down that historic stream lies
spread before it like landscape painting. As
pleasing background to this the hills of the
New Hampshire side and the White Noun
tains are in plain view, while the views in all
directions are the most pleasing. The build
ing itself, as will be seen in the picture. is
model of architecture. Its interior is most
conveniently arranged and affords first-cass
accommodations for 80 guests. No luxury
afforded in situation, surroundings, modern
convenences or expert management in any
hotel in the state is lacking at the Hotel Low.
The house is heated throughout by steam, as
well as ornamental fire-places, hot and cold
baths are provided and electric call bells COM
to every room. Above all the house
is supplied throughout with ever running and
neNer-lalllhS pure cold spring wafer Wnlle as
regards sanitary arrangements the Hotel Low
is unrivalled The halls are large, light and
airy, and the parlors luxuriously furnished.
A fine billiard hall and first-class livery are
among the necessities of modern hotel life,
and are supplied for the use of guests. The
cuisine is worthy of special commentator,
being under the most experienced manage
ment and kept up to the highest standard of
excellence. The dning-room is situated on
the first floor, large airy we'll LIGHTED coy |
and comfortable as home. and the service of |
its corps of agreeable and polite walters is |
what il should be and adds much to the COM
fort and enjoyment of guests. 1t is well to |
here also that the manager, Mr.. ii. |

OLIVER CORWIN.
The popular Dealer i'm Fine Hand and
Machine-Made Boots and Shoes.

There is but one exclusive shoe store i'm the
village of Bradford, and we doubt whether
there is a shoe concern in this section of the
state that is building up a higher reputation
for the excellence of its stock or enjoys Il bet
Ter trade from the better class of people than
that of .. Corwin, located in the Bank Block.
This store in appearance is one of the neatest
in the village, and the salesroom is ample for
the accommodation of his large and well-se-
lected stock. At no time since starting
this business ID years ago has this house been
willing to sacrifice its reputation for keeping
a line of first-class goods, that will bear the
most rigid tests. II has valued more a perma-
ncnt reputation for durability and taste than
the temporary triumphs of deprecated pro-
auctions. which are now so extensively plac-
ed upon the market. This fact explains why
this house commands such a liberal patron
age. The assortment il complete in ladies'
mems, youths, boys and children's footwear
and for good goods the prices are lower in no
t-wn in the state. Mr.. Corwin has had
long and varied business experience. He came
to Bradford in 1876. and hadn't been in the
village more than II till he engaged i'm the
livery business, which he continued three
wears. Previous to that he had been travel
