The West Side District

1t is a great pleasure 10 those who
are interested in a better and greater
Wildwood to see how the new and i'm
proved West Side district is looming
up. 1t was a matter of deep interest
to many what of child the new
district should be. The character of
the ground as given to the owners of
lots by Baker Bros. and the style of
the houses so far erected leave no doubt
in the minds of any observer that this
district will in the very near future be
of the most desirable parts of Wild
wood. The JOURNAL congratulates
Baker Bros. and the of houses
70 far erected and joins hands in n
movement toward a greater and better
Wildwood.

Letter to Jas. M. Slaughter,
Wildwood, N. J.

Dear Sir: We suspect you'd like the
tale, how a oma beat two hardware
dealers in Girard, Pa.
We tried our best to get those men to
sell Devoe lead and zinc in that bright
town; and failed. Reluctantly took
Mrs. K. r. Bowman, druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint for
more than $l.25 a gallon. Mrs. Bow
man can. She has sold about all the
paint, that has been sold here since.
She knew Devoe; had sold our artists
materials. Had some sense and force
besides; she easily learned that cheap
is dear in paint, and told the people.
Mr.. Burt Young bought a gallon De-
voc for rooms that had always taken a
gallon of other paint; had half left.
Mr.. E. H. Hitler, jeweler. painted De-
voc, and says it goes further-no par
ticulars.
Mr.. John Hanna, grocer, thought it
expensive before he bought it; brought
back nearly half of his paint, and said
it was the cheapest job he ever had.
Mrs. Bowman reports universal salts
faction. So much for a cheap-paint
town with a bright woman in it.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEvoE 81 Co.,

Autos on the Farm,

a new and special type of automo.
bible has recently been put on the
market in Scotland which is designed
especially for farm work, and which
is not only suitable for blowing, but
may be equipped as cultivator OF
reaper. 1t will prepare the ground
and sow the seed at one operation
and can be operated at a better speen
than a horse. Thus when blowing il
can cover from six to seven acres a
day, and goes over the field SO as to
leave it in final shape for cultivation
When not in use in the field, the mo-
tor can be used to drive all farm ma
chinery, and when blowing, the cost
of fuel, labor and depreciation has
been computed at 81 per acre, or less
than one-half the expense of plow'
ing by horse. 1t is interesting to note
that the cost of the machine is about
$1,000, an amount that does not seem
prohibitive for large farm, where
thorough test of the new machine
could readily be made. The automo
bile, unlike the farm animal, does not
have to be fed when it is not work
ing, and it is here that substan
tial element of economy can prob
ably be secured.-Harper's Weekly
