Unless a community is coming to the
front there can be no profit i'm real es-
tate transactions, and the fact that
Messrs. Amer & Son have had good
success during the year they have been
in the real estate and insurance busi-
ness in Tionesta shows well for the
town. Their office is located on Elm
street across from Heath a. Kilmer's
drug store. Mr. Calvin NJ. Arner was
born in Armstrong county, but he has
lived in Forest county of and on foI
the past AZ years. About II years ago
he lost his left leg while handling tim,
Der and after that time was forced 20
pursue less active lines of work than
formerly. After serving four years as
postmaster of Tionesta he was elected
prothonotary of the county which po-
sition he held for three successive terms
nine years in all, showing the esteem
in which he is held by the public. on
Jan. l, 1897, he opened his present office
in partnership with his son, Lewis
Arner' bright, promising young man,
and the result has been fully up to their
expectations.
