Yours"

Interesting conclusions are drawn
from a study Of the different ways
writer's subscribe themselves. The
curt Yours and s'Yours truly are
found not only in business letters,
but in personal notes as well. for
there are plenty of correspondents
who don't believe in gushing, and who
think that 'sYours truly or sincere
ly'' means about all they wish to con-
vey. Opposed to these sensible ard
essentially practical persons is that
class of writer's, made up of young
and enthusiastic persons. usually of
the gentler sex, who throw words
about as careless on paper as they do
in conversation, and those who sign
themselves ssaffectionately yours" even
when writing to casual acquaintance.
Cordially yours" by the way, IS
seen more and mole frequently now
in notes between a~cqnaintances who
are on distinctly friendly or cordial
terms. After all, sincerely yours,
when it can be used truthf1lly. is a
simple and satisfactory way Of ending
friendly letters. Some people have
the habit of not ~prefacing their names
with any set form of words at the end
of letters. They stop when they get
through and simply write their sigma
lures. this being an easy way ont OF

Germany has almost entirely ceased

Trolley Consolidation in the State.


The Brunswick Traction Company, the
New York q Philadelphia Traction Com
pany, and the New Brunswick City Railway
Company have been consolidated as the
Somerset n Middlesex Traction Com
pany. Gottfried Kruger, of Newark, is
President Of the company, Andrew Fl.
Radel, OF Bridgeport, Conn.,, is Vice-Presi-
dent, and Edward 81. Radel, of New Bruins
wick, Is Secretary and General Manager.
The ceHi1cate Of consolidation was filed
with the Secretary Of State OF New Jersey.
The consolidation OF the three companies,
all OF which had the same stockholders and
officers, was effected In order to avoid COM
plications and red tape In the part which
the company expects to take In building a
trolley Hne across New Jersey from New
York to Philadelphia. The New York and
Philadelphia Traction Company. absorbed
by the new company, holds a franchise
from Bound Brook to New Brunswick on
the south side OF the Raritan River. The
validity ofthis franchise has been attacked,
blu will, 1t Is believed, probably hold good.
The Brunswick Company has operated a
line on the north bank of the river for over
a year, but the south bank franchise Is de-
sirable, as the proposed route from New
Brunswick to Trenton includes this road.
The route will be by way Of Milestone and
Kingston; from the latter place to Prin se-
ton, where the Trenton-Princeton line will
be connected with. The Somerset and Mid
dlesex Company intends to revive all Of the
old franchises OF its progenitors. 1t Is the
only candidate for franchises in this sec.
ton, and as it controls a system from
Plainfeld to New Brunswick and Bound
Brook, II 1t secures franchises to Kingston
and Princeton, its system will form an i'm
portant link In the translate company.
