Middletown transcript., 1897-03-20
on THE MOVE.


| ing day in Middletown and throughout
New Castle county. and the annual up;
heaval has already begun. Some people
move from choice, being cronic samplers,
liking change, and are hardly settled in
one house before they are, mentally al
least, measuring the windows and floors Of
some other house, TO see how near their
curtains and carpets would come to fit it,
If perchance they should want to move nexc
year. But most people move from necessity,
either because of too much rent, inconYen-
lent and out-ofrepair houses. unpleasant
locations, ETC., for the old saying that two
movings are equal to a fire, is accepted by
nearly everybody who has tried il, and the
majority will put up with great deal of
Inconvenience before suffering the moving
ordeal. And landlords, knowing this, very
often impose upon their tenants. But Mid
dletown, doubtless. has as good landlords
and tenants any other town, and the paper
hangers, painters and plasterers are likely
to be busy enough for a time. for when Ma
ture begins to ''slick up" and look fresh
and new with the coming of spring, it's an
instinct with mankind. especially those of
the feminine persuasion, to brighten and
freshen their homes. The following per-
