WAYS on the alert. and when ground Is
broken for a new house. all sorts or ques-
tions are asked in relation 10 the charac-
ter OF the proposed building. The new
building is under the eye OF the committee
until after the first story Is completed
and when IL shows no sign OF a store the
committee feels that Its labors nave oeeh
concluded. and rests easy
Some time ago a well known Plainneld
street grocer purchased a corner lot In
the vicinity and he was called upon ana
asked not 10 build a store, and the COM
mittee reported that he promised not To-
but now the lower part OF the new pullo-
ing plainly shows that II Is intended Tor
a grocery store and market Then the
committee was called upon 10 oranch out
on n new line OF thought and they de-
cided upon the boycott" system. and

| white the names OF SS OF the 400 VINO
promised that they would not purchase
| even a pint OF milk at the new store

! and is credited with saying that pretty
! soon there will be a whole week or rainy
| weather and later there will be bliZZards
| and that the 400 will not only forget
/ the promise that they made to the COM
mittee, but will really thank them for
| locating a store so handy TO them He
was not I'm the least bit OF doubt but
what the committee will by spring draft
a set OF well-worded resolutions for his
| thoughtfulness. These. he says. he will
| have handsomely framed, and hung like
| a license IN a most conspicuous place
where II can be seen by all who enter
| and leave the store.
