When Nails Were Dear.

When Henry G. White, of this
borough, began the alterations in
the house of George Thatcher, on
the Hardwood farm, he discovered
that all the nails were handmade
throughout the house. The man
sion was erected more than a cen
fury ago by Jacob Peirce; who
with his own hands moulded and
burned the bricks of which it is
composed, and doubtless, too, he
made most, if not all, of the nails,
for ne had a forge where he did a
great deal of the work needed on
his farm, and he was a marvel of
industry. But think of hammer
ing out nails by hand for building
a house at the rate of dozen or
fifteen an hour, and compare that
with going to the store and buying
a pound for four cents.-Kennett

shoe business is constantly in

honest, are the kind we aim to
buy and we seldom make mis-
takes, for we think we know how
to buy shoes. We say to a
maker: Make this shoe as we
want it. Put a little better leath-
er in the sole or upper CT wher-
ever the shoe needs it and We'll
buy some; otherwise we refuse to
have them. But then again there
are certain lines which are as good
as it is possible to make them.
