The New York, Chicago and st. Louis
Railroad company has issued an order

the railroad officials, this Is the first
time in the history of this country that
a road has publicly announced that 1t

petition of other roads.
Receiver Murray, OF the baltimore

pair work alone. We intend to over
haul and repair every locomotive and
car that will justify the outlay. We
intend to order 5000 freight cars and
seventy-five locomotives. but these Or
ders will be given to outside concerns.
We propose to encourage local business
in every way possible, and shall place
a division freight agent at some central
point with power to make equitable
rates on coal, lumber and similar pro-
ducts, and to see that shippers obtain
prompt car service. We propose to
maintain our passenger service at as
high standard of efficiency as possible.
The present equipment will be over
hauled and new cars added where
needed.

in Scranton and Is metropolitan in
style and appearance.
, The success Of these young men has
been due to their unfailing courtesy and
indefatigable attention to business.
Their experience in this line of trade
covers a number of years. but not until
four years ago was the partnership
formed. John and II. NJ. Reynolds are
the membe"s of the firm. What they
have ACCOMPLISHED IN to the present is
a fair criterion of what the future holds
in store for them.
: In their new quarters the most COM
plete equipments are arranged. The
store Is fitted in seasoned oak, i'm ma
tural colors. and the furnishings are i'm
keeping with the artistic style Of the
surroundings. The show cases are
models of elegance, and the display in
the show windows are faithful index
of :he large ard assorted stock carried
for sale.
The passerby is at once attracted to
the windows by the splendid arrange
ment of articles and invariably the inn
preston is gained that the store con-
tains the most elaborate stock of any
of the stores of the kind in the city.
The prices are satisfactory in every
particular. and the stock so varied that
one can go 10 lteEnoluS Sfos. store ana

this policy of giving first-class quality
for the lowest price tnat has brought
this firm 20 the front in the trade of
this llourishing and progressive city.
The beSt that could b" said of Rey-
nolds Bros. is to say that they have
kept pace with the active progress of
Scranton. and that they represent to-
day the best stationery and office sup
ply business here.
The location of their new place is one
of such prominence and convenience as
to attract the buyer, for outside of New
York city there is not better equipped
nor more artistically furnished store
in all its appointments and arrange
ments. 1t is with pride and satisfac-
tion they can contemplate the success
they have achieved. and by the eXer-
else of the same fair treatment and
courtesy they can rely on continu-
ance of the success that has crossed
their business pathway.
