The installment plan" so called,
has always had it's critics, but it has
never been without merit. That it
suffices for distinct and needful re-
source in connection with the affairs
of the household, is evinced not only
by the great and growing field it is
lndustriously occupying, but by
the character OF its patrons and the
permanency with which it asserts its
presence and legitimacy.
1t is true of every commodity i'm
piled in matters of clothing, furniture,
jewelry, house building and even in
railroad construction, that it is being
accomplished on the plan of Install
ment payments. In fact, the United
States government pursues this me-
thod in many of it's contracts with
individuals. So much for the "plan. !"
But it depends very much on the
installment house one deals with as
to whether the system is good
one Or not; and it also depends on
the character, merit, and suitable
ness of the goods and the price too.
A firm which has invested extensive
capital and is putting all its energy
and property into this interest, having
branches in a dozen towns and ia
cilities of supply almost inexbaustablc
such an installment house must be
pretty solid and responsible con-
Germ.
And such a house is that of L.
Sternberg & Co., whether it be the
main emporium at Newark or a
branch store at Morristown or else
where Of this firm may be purchased
on easy payments every article of
clothing from top to toe and every
commodity of household furniture,
carpetings, stoves and Furnishings from
the kitchen to the attic. Sternberg
q Co. will guarantee to fit up your
home in every conceivable material
of the first-class and at low cost, on
installments.
AS to clothing, hats, shoes, under
wear of the latest styles and lowest
prices, the Morristown branch of this
mammoth manufacturing firm is an
accessible and we'll equipped head
quarters just at this season of neces-
sary renewal in all lines of wearing
apparel. Drop in and examine the dis
play. You will see much to suit you.

nODING & co.
Fresh and Salt Meats, 20 Washington
Street.

In all cities of commercial import
ance there are constantly appearing
new asplrants for public favor and
patronage and Morristown is no ex-
ceptlon to the general rule as the
gentlemen heading this sketch will
testify. 1t is now about four months
ago since Messrs. Moding & Co. sue
ceeded to the business so successfully
conducted by John D. Guerin during
which time they have not only sue
ceeded in keeping the old patrons of
this house but by methods of business
which are sure to be successful
gained many new ones. 1t is not all
thosescalling themselves butchers who
are able to properly prepare the best
meats as it requires tact ana skill
which does not come without long
and careful study.
In the above connection, Mr. Moding
can be thoroughly relied upon as his
twenty years experience in the bust
ness can testify and as he personally
superiptends every detail of his bust
ness satisfaction is assured all who
patronize this model market. 1t is
with pleasure we state that this firm
has gained in comparatively short
time reputation az purveyors of the
finest lines of fresh and sailed meats
which is truly commendable. The
order trade is quite large, Mr.. Moding
supplying a great many of our best
families who are quick to appreciate
the fact that the best is always the
cheapest. The three delivery wagons
are kept constantly busy and goods
are delivered to all parts of the city.

HENRY w. ARMSTRONG.
Livery and Boarding Stable, Bank
Market Streets.

Among the different firms engaged
in the livery business in Morristown
none are better equipped to serve the
public in a thoroughly up-to-date
manner than the gentleman heading
this sketch. Mr.. Armstrong needs
no introduction to the people of
Morristown and vicinity as he is q
native of this city and his successful
business career is we'll known, but IN
a review of this character it is emil
nently proper to commend him for the
high standard of excellence maintain
ed in the conducting of his business q
line with which he is thoroughly famil
lar and which he has followed since EN-
barking on business career. The prem,
Uses occupied by Mr.. Armstrong are es-
peciaIly adapted for the successful pros
ecution of the business while the service
is the best in the city and patrons will
find only the best in the line of handsome
and stylish turnouts of various kinds
from the light and stylish trap to the
more cumbersome four seated carriage.
The horses are thoroughly reliable and
the most timid of the fair sex may here
procure an animal that is perfectly safe
while those who desire more spirited
horse may also be accommodated. A
special feature which must not be over
looked is the boarding of family road
horses and in that respect this stable en-
joys we'll merited reputation as the
charges are moderate and Mr.. Arms
trong gives all animals confided to his
care personal attention. The manifold
advantages to be gained by patronizing
Mr.. Armstrong are self evident to all
who have accorded him their custom
and it affords the Chronicle pleasure to
reiterate the above facts concerning one
of the model livery and boarding stables
of Morristown..

1t is universally admitted that no
county within the confines of New

had a tendency to develop the Unborn

animals, the horse. The large num-

makes the profession so ably repre-
sented here by Dr. James Mosedale a
most important one and his extern
sive and growing practice which ex-
tends throughout the county is a
splendid testi nonial of his acknowl-
edged ability in the practice of his
exacting profession. DR.. Mosedale
has at times been called upon to
treat some very difficult ailments
peculiar to horses and cattle and in
variably his methods have been sue
cessful.
DR.. Mosedale, who is having house
built on Mt. Kemble avenue, intends
to erect hospital for horses and dogs
on the rear of the lot The basement
Will be divided into roomy boxes for
horses and the upper part will be es-
pecially constructed for the recep-
tion of dogs. The entire building
will be heated by hot water and
lighted by electricity. 1t is expected
to be ready for the reception of pa
tents by June 1. This new enter
prise will undoubtedly meet with
popular approval.
The large practice enjoyed by DR..
Mosedale throughout the county has
necessitated the establishing of
branch offices at Madison, Demands
Vile and Mendham, where orders may
be left and immediote attention given.
Night calls are promptly attended to
in any part of the county. 1t affords
us pleasure to state that the doctor
is one of the very few veterinarians
in this country who has the distin-
guished honor of being member of
the Royal College of Veterinary Sur
geons of London, England, the fore
most institution of its kind in the
world and whose highly priced dip
Iona stamps its pessessor as master
of his profession fact which is evil
dent in the splendid professional
career of DR.. James Mosedale in Nor
ristown and vicinity.

The old established firm Of Fair

and progressive energies and business
OF Morristown that to omit them from
compendious review of this kind
would be illogical, not to say unac-
countable.
The gentlemen respectively COM
posing this substantial hardware and
house furnishing speciality establish
ment are not only progressive and
successful examples of the mercantile
element OF the community, but thew
are also mechanicians and artisans
whose skilled workmanship projects
itself into the best CONCEPTIONS and

sanitary equipment for the home
and the public building of the first

The large and conspicuously locat-
ed store of Messrs. Fairchild and Oil

the strangers alert eye, being situate
at the flank of perhaps the most i'm
posing business block of this section.
and its interior contains an elabora
ton OF ranges, furnaces, stoves, heat

tools, brushes in innumerable vari.

AS has been limited, sanitary piping,

have been identified in this particular
with the most praiseworthy and sus-
tanned plumbing which has been done
in connection with local building and

responsibility, promptness and cour-

achieved the business success which is
associated with the firm name.

PERSONS LAUNDRY.
j Willard Pierson, 81 Speedwell
Avenue.


That cleanliness is next to goodness
no one can have the hardihood to ques-
ton. Indeed, there may be cleanli-
ness where there is not godliness.
Both these attributes belong 60 our
civilization, though they may we'll be
quite separately pondered The main
problem of the plain mortal of the
perod is, first, how he, habitually,
may have himself personally clean;
second, as to how best he may do
this, and third, as to how cheapest
he may do it. That easily resolves
itself into a main issue involving
cleanliness of linen. No person ad-
dicted to cleanly habits of under at
tire could be uncleanly OF person. By
this rule the safest direction toward
sanitary exemption and secure clean
illness lay through the approved laun-
dry process of removing all semblance
of lmpurity and discoloration or dirt
from those garments that are to come
in contact or in contiguity to our
bodies. All systems of laundrying,
let 1t be said, do not conduce to the
hygienic results desired to be reach
ed. But those of the highest class
accomplish all that can be wished in
the whiteness, sweetness and purity
OF the fabrics and garments that have
been subjected to the best processes
of washing. The Pierson Laundry,
at 81 Speedwell avenue, is one of the
very best aud most reliable in the
business and 1T is one of the best
known and patronized. It's work is
unexceptionable, prompt and moder-
ately priced. The establishment sends
for and delivers the work of patrons.
