By straightforward business methods,

Their Interesting His ory.
In city which is constantly improving
and widening its boundaries, the lumber
trade becomes naturally active, and enlists
some of its best talent, as well as consider
able capital One of the first points al
ways to be looked at by the consumer is
the reliability and standing of the firm
with which he deals, and there is surely
no mistaking the popular estimation in
which this firm is held when one observes
the stream of customer leaving their yards
loaded with lumber, coal or slate. The
high character of j. w. Smith and j L..
Reifsnider, Jr., in either business or pri-
vate life at once places their methods above
criticism, while securing for them a large
patronage among Carroll county citizens.
They handle all kinds of hard and soft
coal, besides heavy stock of lumber,
bridge piling, timber and building mate
rials, roofing slate, etc., for which there
is an incessant demand. Their yard at
26 West Msin street covers two acres of
ground, where they keep in stock generally
/, 900, 900 feet of lumber and 300, 900
shingles, while its capacity for coal storage
under cover approximates 1000 tons.
Here at present five men and eight horses
are constantly employed.
The business was established in the Cos
BY Smith, Dell & Reifsnider on the
present site; Joshua Smith. the original
senior partner, having been an uncle of
the present senior member Of the firm, and
Jesse Reifsnider his partner, the grand

to rejoice at the venture

An able writer has well said that great
deal regarding the wealth, resources and
prospects Of city may be predicted from
the number, extent and standing OF its
banking institutions. Now the city of
Westminster is not only willing, but proud
to be gauged by this standard, for in no
other direction does it show to better ad-
vantage
When a bank has existed without the
slightest intermissionn for period Of
eighty-two years, during which two gen
erations have come and gone, and third
one arisen, it is not.an exaggeration to de-
clare in trumpet tones that such an lnstl-
tuition ranks among the guardian enter
prises of Westminster. Panics, financial
disasters and periods of business stagnatlon
and depression have over-swept the coun-
try time and again since its doors first
opened in 1916, but, like some sentinel OF
stone, the Union National Bank has jeal-
ously guarded its trusts. apd deposits, IN
creasing them, indeed, through the flight
of years, and throwing its mantle of pro-
lection around the savings of its patrons.
Eyes long dimmed in the churchyard
mould have perceived this bank S advan-
tages; nor are those now bright with the
fires of life and love slow to appreciate this
sterling institution, over whose green por-
tails may be inscribed Esto Perpetua =
