strip of ground at Pittston avenue and
Brook street, bordering on the cree k.
Mr.. William Connell owns the land
and how true the fact is. of any dis

tend to state, as Mr.. Connell was away
on a southern trip when the rumor
first got atioat, and since his return
home has given himself up to much
needed rest. thereby not warranting
any intrusion in business matters. Al
though the location Of the hose house
at present is, no doubt, central enough,
it is not close enough to the large silk,
woolen and button mills. if blaze at

generosity Of Mr.. Connsll in his deal

sible for the crsdence given to the

WILL GIVE AWAY S2,soo
Era of Free Gifts to Be Inauguratsd at
Erown'j Bee Hive.

III" VA EIee ciits 10 Dc lnauRurated AZ
Erown'J Bee Hive.
M. Brown. the enterprising proprie-
tor of the Bee Hive store, 224 Lacka-
wanna avenue, has hit on a novel and
ingenious plan whereby to help his
customers tide themselves over the
prevailing period of hard times.
Beginning on Monday next, he will
give to each customer who purchases
goods to the amount of 81 or more an
envelope containing card on which is
printed the name of some useful arti-
Gle, the same to be given to the Gus
toner free of charge.
The gifts range in value from 81 to
$40, the list including such useful
presents as cloaks, shirts, waists,
Indies trimmed hats, mackintoshes,
ladies' capes. mems hats and caps, neck
wear, sterling silver scarf and stick
pins, besides many other valuable
articles.
The customer will have a sure thing
as there are no blanks among the
cards. The article named on the card,
no matter what it be, is found in stock
at the Bee Hive. and all the customer
will have to do Is to make a selection
and take the present home.
This scheme is certain to prove pop
ular with the public. but will not be
alarmingly profitable for Mr. Brown.
Still that makes no difference to him
"a he is bound TO do the fine thing by
his patrons and the more he gives
away the better he will be suited.
Do not forget that this era of gifts
will be inaugurated next Monday.
Now wait and see the shoppers pro-
cession as it files into Browns Bee
Hive. drawn there by the tree distri-
button of 50, 500 worth of presents.
