Low Rates. Perfect Service
EGON0UIcaL, CONVENIENT, HEaLTHFUL

In no field has there been a greater
advance within the past decade than
in the manufacture and use of gas
for household purposes.
In Morristown the sale of improv-
ed appliances for the use of gas for
domestic purposes alone, within the
past few months has wonderfully in-
creased, and in every instance the
verdict has been great comfort,
food better prepared, expense cur
tailed.
AT this season of the year, when
Jack Frost is preparing to knock at
the door, heat from the furnace,
steam or hot water boiler is oppres-
sive; frequently there is trouble with
the draught of open fireplaces, or, per-
chance the house was erected without.
this valuable adjunct What can be
done under this apparently perplexing
state of affairs? Why, consult the,
Morristown Gas Company, where may
be found gas logs and heating appli-
ances of the most modern manufac-
ture. They are just what is needed
to remove that chilly feeling,
morning and evening. A few minutes
will suffice to make dining room or
library comfortable, then the gas can
be turned off 1t is not necessary to
keep the temperature up to an unbear-
able degree during the day. In addi-
tion to being economical it has been
proved that gas heat is healthful, and
can be utilized at little expense and
trouble. An inspection of the appli-
ances for heating and cooking at the
Morristown Gas Company Office,
Savings Bank Building, will repay
those who have not heretofore given
the subject much consideration.

DIR. f. W. Owen also spoke at some
length.
Miss Walsh's recital of "John Jor-

An interesting number of the pro-

Lieutenant John O. Smith, of the

LOCAL CIGAR TRADE.
They Declare the Products of Muller g
Son to be All Right

The cigar trade in Morristown and
in fact throughout Morris County is
one of the most discriminating in New
Jersey. The smoking" public APP
parently have been educated to the
consumption of cigars of high
standard
Probably no manufacturer Of cigars
is more generally and favorably
known hereabouts, than Messrs. Henry
Muller & Son, proprietors of the
Dominator" Cigar factory, No. 103
Prince street, New York City. Both
members of the firm are practical
cigar makers and are accounted
among the best judges of tobacco in
the country. Henry Muller, the
senior member of the concern, estab-
lished the business i'll 1866, which
owing to the high class of goods
manufactured soon took the lead
wherever introduced. This reputa-
tion has since been maintained The
factory is extensive and fitted with
all the modern improvements. A large
number of skilled workmen are en-
ployed; manufactured goods are sold
in every State in the Union, requiring
number of travelling statesmen. Some
idea may be formed of the extensive
stock carried by this concern when it
is stated that the cigars now being
made are from stock imported in 1894.
In addition to personal visits to Cuba,
the Messrs Muller are also extensive
buyers of high grade domestic
tobacco. For many years, Henry
Muller, the senior member of the con-
Germ gave his personal attention to
the trade in New Jersey. Since
Henry Muller, Jr., became member
of the firm he has looked after their
increasing trade in Morristown and
vicinity. Today there are no more
justly celebrated and popular cigars
to be had in our city than the
Fishers Sport "My Own,
key West" and Ella Danza' ALI

GROWING INSTITUTION.
Morris County Savings Bank-One of the
Strongest in the State.

The Morris County Savings Bank is
one of the most prosperous and sue
cessful financial institutions in the
State. Since it's incorporation in
1874 there has been steady growth
in the number of depositors, the
amount of deposits and the accumu-
lated surplus, which is carefully kept
for the protection of depositors and
which now amounts to about 5000, 600.
| The judicious management of the
bank may be readily seen from the
fact that not a single bad debt has
been incurred under the present
management.
That is all the more surprising when
it is remembered that hardly a single
financial institution in the country
did not suffer seriously from the
shrinkage of values during the
depression of 1919
The officers and managers who en-
joy the confidence of the whole COM
munity are Henry W. Miller, presi-
dent; Aurelius B. Hull, vice-presi-
dent; H. I. Hull, secretary and treas
urer; Managers, Henry W. Miller,
Aurelius B. Hull, Charles Y. Swan,
M, D., H. Q. Pitney, Phillip H. Hoff-
man, Paul Revere, Guy Minton
and Eugene S. Burke.
The deposits have almost reached
so, 600, 600 while the member of ac-
counts number over 1900. The annual
statement published January 1st, 1899
was as follows:
