The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1898-11-23

1t is understood that by the death of a
tune in the Klondike last year, the
Joneses have come into very tidy for
tune and mean to get all the good out of
it that money can secure.
Hon. Thomas Jones has purchased a
building site from h. f.. Downing, the
hustling real estate man, in a very pleas
ant location, and will erect a modern
twelve room cottage to cost about $500
thereon. The walls and floor of the bath
room will be covered with white tiles and
the floor of the vestibule with mosaics.
Tom, Jr., and Winifred insisted that there
should bea bicycle room, and the architect
readily evolved one that will be adopted
in many of his future plans for modern
homes. Mr.. Downing also showed Jones
some very fine farms, and practically
closed the sale of a 100 acre place, having
on it 20 acre vineyard and fine peach
orchard. Jones says Downing is a square
dealer and can suit anyone who wants a
farm, both as to location and price. He
also showed some fine village property,
but Jones preferred building his own
home.
The Joneses have decided to give re
ception on the completion of their new
house, in order to get acquainted with
their future townspeople.
JoNEsEs AT THE DYCKMAN HOUSE.
Mr.. Thomas Jones and family were
registered at the Dyckman House, Mon
day, and occupied rooms 10, II and "a
and the parlor on the second floor. Land
lord j. M. Longwell reported them as
very desirable guests, knowing exactly
what they wanted, and acceding without
demur TO the very reasonable charges of
the Dyckman. A representative of the
True Northerner found the Hon. Thomas
Jones enjoying cigar in the hotel lobby
and was granted very pleasant inter
view. The reporter learned that the
family was in Paw Paw for the purpose
of contracting for the materials for and
the building of their new house, purchas-
ing supplies, and arranging for its furnish
ing in all its details.
Mr.. Jones believed they could complete
their buying in two days, as they had in
mind nearly everything they wanted.
They had obtained copies of the True
Northerner some time ago, and from
close study of its advertising and local
news columns had learned of the people
who kept the goods desired. After max
ing their purchases, they would leave for
visit to Mr.. Jones' boyhood home in
Fulton county, n. Y, and return only
when their house was nearly completed
They like the Dyckman House so well
that they will make it their temporary
home on their return.

Free IL Hagerman will furnish the
lumber for Thomas Jones' new house.
as well as the SASH doors, blinds, orna-
mental woodwork, interior finish, and
the lime, etc, to enter into its construc-
ton. Everything is to be A l, and Free

crowd in the building of Hon. Thomas
Jones house among their extensive con
tracts. Free q Hagerman having fac
tory full of planning, moulding, sand
paper and polishing machinery, are fully
equipped to build large and artistic
dwelling for a small amount of money.

reputation for good work and fair deal

entire confidence of Mr.. Jones.
SECURE THE ORDER.
There was considerable competition
to sell Jones his builders hardware and
there was not much difference in prices.
The men who advertise secured the
