t ne Best
Screen
We Know.

w TENE been making
wv fly Screens for the
past twenty five
years-and improving our
past work all the time. The
Screens we offer today are as
perfect and substantial as
Screens can be built. Select
ed lumber is used, and it is
kept in our factory for year
before using. 1t dries out
thoroughly and cannot warp
or crack. De Wits best wire
cloth is used. All frames are
rubbed down and finished in
hard oil when used inside the
window-and three coats of
paint are put on them il they
are going to be exposed out
side to the weather.
They are hung with long
guides-the entire length of
the window, and can be used
either up or down as the de-
mands of ventilation may re-
quire. They are held in posi-
ton with two tempered steel
springs, and can be put in po-
sition or quickly removed
without the assistance of a
mechanic. That's a particu-
lar convenience when the
windows are to be washed
or when the Screens are to
be taken down to be put
away for winter. All lifts are
cOunter-sunk "a convent
ence, too, and an improve
ment in appearance over the
old knobs.
We're selling two and a
half times as many Screens of
this kind-as we did of the
old kind. They must be bet
ter.

been to all the people had we been as
free from strikes and boycotts as In
the days Of yore. under normal con-
ditions we would undoubtedly have
ranked as the greatest and most sue

fortunately the labor troubles struck
us like terrible cyclone and to quite
an extent checked the years prosper

Many of our citizens think real es-
tate has been dead during the year.
That IL not correct. Large and costly
structures have been and are now in
course of construction In the heart OF
town. Others will follow during the
new year. The number of new homes
erected in different parts of the city
are. ! think quite up to former years.
A visit to the outskirts of our city Will
convince the most skeptical that hum
dreds OF pretty homes have been erect
ed. Naturally their would have been u
greater number under more favorable
circumstances. The very few houses
for rent in Scranton certainly indicates
that our city continues to grow. Weeks
and months are spent by new residents
in finding suitable homes these people
are surprised at the great scarcity of
vacant houses in so large city.
With the present strike and boycott

trys prosperity, with all mines and fac

and all pull together, to make ii the
most successful year in Scranton's his
