The shopping trade of large part of Har-
ford county is still carried on in that part OF
Baltimore known as Oldtown, for the reason
that it was the most convenient when the only
way for the people of the northern and central
parts of Hartford to reach Baltimore was by
way of the Hartford pike. Among all the mer-
chants of that part of the city, none has been
more successful in retaining his hold on
this trade than Gus Dannenberg the we'll
known dealer in ''wet goods on Forrest
street, near Hillen. At this time of the year
he is in particular demand, on account of his
reputation for standard liquors and low
prices.
