BETHLEHEM.

TUE NEW RESIDENCE OF JARVIS THOMP.
SON.
Jarvis Thompson and family are now
settled in their new house, and have with.
out doubt the most modern and up.to.
date dwelling, with possibly one excep-
ton, that there is in Bethlehem. As will
be remembered Mr. Thompson's former
house, q fine old brick mansion, was
burned to the ground, during one of the
coolest days Of last winter. The family
made their home for the winter in the old
house owned by Mr. Thompson on Hard
Hill. In the spring the contract was let
for the new house which stands on part
OF the old foundations. The plans were
son-in-law of Mr. Thompson, and the con-
tract was let to G. W. and T. f. Atwood
of Watertown, who have done the work
in their customary thorough manner.
There are 10 rooms In the house, exclu-
sive of the attic and closets. The kilch-
en- Is on the east side OF the house, and
connected with it is pantry and work
room for the ladies of ample dimensions.
In the rear of this is room fitted up for
Mr. Thompson's National separator which
he secured through the agency of J. T..
Parmelee. Adjoining the kitchen is Il
dining room of ample dimensions and
opening from this ia q cczy music room.
On the ground floor also is sleeping
apartment and in the front part the time
honored parlor and hall. The rooms on
the second floor are all light and airy and
we'll supplied with closets, q necessary
feature OF the modern house. The cellar
is large and roomy and we'll fitted for the
storage of vegetables. In the ell part Mr.
Thompson has fitted up room to use
in butchering time for trying out the
lard and heating water. Taking it alto
gether Mr. Thompson has a model house,
which has evidently been secured at q
moderate expenditure.

THE CITY,s CONVENIENCE AND
SUMMER RESORTS COMFORT.

If has been asserted that the excellence
of ths United State Postal Service has
been the direct instrument for the removal
of something like SO. 900 travelling statesmen.
The significance Of this fact is evident IN
the routine of every well organized lnsutu-
ton.
The mail-order department OF several
large concerns consists of a small army OF
workers who are kept busy nillng orders
from out-of- town people with as much Ia
cility and fewer errors than is otherwise
made The Meyer Store, of this city, mas
a staff OF mal-order clerks as Wei organ
lied as any other part OF their extensive
establishment; IN fact their system is so
perfectly arranged that an error is almost
impossible, and if a mistake should occur
II would be recttfied inside of eight hours
without a complaint.
This method for serving customers at
long range ought to be of interest to the
head of every family, especially SO to
those who spend the summer away from
the city. The Meyer Store Mall-Order
Department combines the city's conven-
fence with the summer resorts comfort.
One OF the most interesting features OF this
store is their extremely reasonable prices
for very high-class goods. Price by mail
is the same as when purchased personally:
besides your purchase is delivered free Of
charge, If you live within one hundred
miles of Richmond. All standard toilet
preparations, summer fabrics, tlXings and
accessories can be had at this store for less
than you pay elsewhere. A request for
samples or any other inquiry will meet
with prompt response The Meyer Store
Mail-Order Department accords to the peo-
pie the right 20 Gull for goods advertised
in any of the great selling events which
occur from time TO time. If you are going
away write the Meyer Store for what You
want.
