81 YEARS AG0NE.
A Resume Of this Period of Time Shows
Remarkable Changes and A6vanc-
ing Conditions.

Beyond a quarter of century ago the
things of to-day were either in their in
fancy, or as yet not in existence. This is
true of railways. electric equipment, or
whatever you will.
Coming briefly TO the subject of this
sketch, the year 1867 first saw the entrance
of William X. Gillespie into the grocery
arena-First as an employe; in two years
member of the firm "a position won by
merit and WORTH, then serving in that
capacity until 1890, when he is found oe-
eupying spacious and commodious build
ings on Seventh avenue, Pittsburg, Pa.
However the growth of the business un-
der his direction was such, year after
year, that another change was necessita-
ted. so that to-day finds the wholesale
grocery firm of William X. Gillespie
housed in a complete modern, fully APP
pointed, up-to- date warehouse at 9th
street and Duquesne Way, Pittsburg. Pa.
Aside from the convenience that vast
stock Of staple groceries, as well as spec
ialties affords to the trade, the Wholesale
grocery of William X. Gillespie offers
many facilities rarely found in the best of
ordinarily equipped establishments. The
building now occupied was constructed
on approved plans calculated TO, in every
manner, greatly facilitate business des-
patch. To this end railroad connection
1.-TWO private switchesl, was made direct
with the warehouse, eifecting alone, an
enormous saving AS computed in time
and haulage expense.
Wordy description fails to give an ac-
curste idea of the new warehouse, or the
business therein conducted by William
X. Gillespie, 9th St. and Duquesne Way,
Pittsburg, Pa The best way is TO drop
in and take look around. This invita-
ton includes not only the houses present
trade (which is drawn from three States
and morej, but casual trade visitors to
this city as well. A hearty welcome

Enlarged in Behalf of The cabans.
The Children's Aid Society of this coun-
ty has decided to extend temporarily the
scope of its charitable work. and will
strive TO aid the Associate Society of the
Red Cross in relieving the suffering Of
the Starving Cubans. The Children's Aid
Society therefore ask the generous co-op-
Grafton Of the people of the county and
would suggest that all persons who feel
able to do so will contribute one or more
suits of cotton nDdergarments. All con-
tributions should be made of new goods
and when forwarded to the Secretary of
the Society, at Somerset, they will be
promptly shipped 10 the headquarters OF
the Red Cross Society. in Philadelphia.
The appended letter speaks for itself:
Miss MARY L. BAER:-Owing 10 thu
great distress in Cuba, where over 10000
have persisted of hunger within the pas.
two years, the Red Cross of Philadelphia
solicits the cooperation of the PEOPLE
of Pennsylvania, and hopes that volunteer
auxiliary Cuban relief committees of
men and women, will be formed in every
county and town, for securing money,
food aud summer clothing. Immediate
relief will have double value in this great
emergency, which appeals n the sympa-
thy of generou people. Railroads and
steamship lines have been granting free
transportation. Clergymen Of different
denominations have already combined
for this purpose. 1t IS earnestly hoped
that you will assist Us.
