WANT THEM TAXED HIGHER.
Petition Will be Presented to Council for
Maximum License Fees.


The man that sold goods from a
wagon on our streets several nights the
past week and only paid license fee of
three dollars each evening for the
privilege, aroused some OF our business
men so much that petition was circu-
lated to be presented to town council
requesting that the burgess be instruct
ed to charge street sellers, canvassers
and peddlers the highest license fee
provided for in ordinance No. 3S for
such privilege, which is $500 day.
Following is copy of ordinance No. 3S =:
Section /. That every person can
vassing from house to house in the
borough of Reynoldsville, for the pur-
pose of selling or soliciting orders for
books, pictures, photograph albums,
clocks, watches, pocket knives, silver
plated knives, forks or spoons spect-
acles, eyeglasses, carpet sweepers, bak-
ing pans, bed spreads, patent medicines,
plaster paris goods, bronze and plain,
soap, tea, coffee and spices, tin ware,
gents shirts, furnishing goods, clothing,
by sample, carpets, hosiery, handker-
chiefs, laces, needles, thread, embroid-
cry, blankets, rugs, stationery, grocer
les, piece goods, boots or shoes, grocer
les to private houses, by wholesale or
retail, peddlers of wagons, sleighs and
carriages, whether selling by sample or
otherwise, shall take out license from
the Burgess and pay the fees herein
after required, before doing or Offering
to do any business in the said borough.
Section 2. The fees for license
under the ordinance shall not be less
than ten dollars (Sl0) nor more than
twenty-five ($25) per day for each and
every day so engaged, provided that
this ordinance shall not apply to those
holding mercantile license within the
borough nor to persons resident in the
county.
The merchants who have to pay
mercantile and other taxes and who
also help to keep up the town should be
given some protection from street
sellers who pay a paltry two or three
dollars for privilege of getting out on
the street and by song or funny story
attract the crowd and then sell their
stock in trade 1t is surprising how
readily people buy from the man who
sells on the street corner and canvass
ers, and then generally pay more for
what they buy, when quality of goods
are considered, than they could buy
from home merchant. We were in
formed by one of our business men that
on Friday evening people were almost
crawling over each other in their
anxiety to get bunch of articles the
man on the wagon was selling for S1.5O
when the same lot of goods can be
bought at his store any time for Sl.03.

STOKE AND FEIcHT DRUG CO.
Will Buy Five or Six Drug Stores and
also Manufacture Supplies.

H. Alex Stoke, of Reynoldsville,
Charles M. Feicht, of Punxsutawney,
and three other persons have organized
stock company to be known as the
Stoke & Feicht Drug Company. This
company will buy five or six drug stores
in towns of this section and conduct a
chain of stores. The company has
bought one of the finest drug stores in
Clearfeld, and the Feicht drug store in
Punxsutawney and Stoke drug store in
Sykesville are now included in the
chain of stores, making three stores in
control of the Stoke & Feicht Drug Co.
at present. They will buy at least three
more stores. Mr.. Feicht, a member OF
this company, expects to open drug
store in Reynoldsville, but it will not
be included in the chain of stores and
Mr.. Stoke will not be connected in any
way with the Reynoldsville store.
1t is the intention of the Stoke g.
Feicht Drug Company to manufacture a
line OF pharmaceuticals, physicians sup
plies, &c, for wholesale.
Mr.. Stoke and Mr.. Feicht are both
experienced druggists, thoroughly
understand that line of business. and
there is no doubt but this new drug
company will make success in the
chain store venture.
Mr.. Stoke went to Clearfeld Monday
to take charge of the store at that
place until a capable man can be se-
cured to take charge of the store.
