Carriage Manufacturers.

In the mechanical ability and exper-
fence to be found at the factory con-
Quoted by Herr & Babylon; and which is
located at No. Sc West Main street, ex-
ceptional opportunities are offered the
public to secure in quality of construction,
workmanship, style and finish the best
possible values in carriages, buggies and
light vehicles generally. This firm holds
out constantly the very valuable induce
ment of knowing the history of every
production turned out from the raw ma
terial to the finished work, selecting first
qualities of naturally seasoned wood,
iron and steel, using paints, oils and
varnishes that stand the test of durabil-
ity and other like advantages which are
important considerations in securing an
honest equivalent Herr & Babylon make
no made to sell" work, in which paint
and putty are used to cover up imper-
fections in material, and which in use
and wear create dissatisfaction and dis
appointment They work up to a high
standard of excellence, standard which
has created for the business during its
thirty-fve years history en- enviable rep
utation, and won for it the preference
and the continued patronage of the lead
ing and influential people of this entire
section. In their shops Herr & Babylon
give employment to on an average of
ID thoroughly skilled mechanics. whose
efforts turn out excellent types of coach
es, buggies, phaetonsn, runabouts, jaeger
wagons, etc, every one of which carries
with them a guarantee which is as good
as banknote Herr & Babylon's facilities
for manufacturing are such as to secure

appliances in the blacksmith, woodwork
ing, painting and trimming departments.
Frank K Herr and George w. Babylon

ness a place among the reliable enter
prises of Carroll county. Herr & Baby

repair work, executing all orders
promptly, and charging fair prices. In

+. A. DIEFFENBACH.
Meas Depot.

The news depot always reflects the lit
erary development of community, and,
Judging from the large collection of
magazines and current literature coy
ering a wide range of subject-matter
found in the establishment of F. A. Diff
fenback, IS E. Main street, this literary
development in Westminster is both pro-
nounced and commendable Like news
depots generally, this establishment IS
one of the most popular of local enter
prices, and the progressiveness of its
management is well exemplifed in de-
sire to anticipate all tastes and demands
for reading matter The collection COM
prises all the leading magazines, periodi-
Gals devoted to science and art, works
of fiction by popular authors, etc. A
choice selection of the leading brands OF
cigars and tobaccos is kept constantly on
hand and in these lines nice business Is
done. Mr. Diffenback is native of Bal
timore, but is we'll and favorably known
in Carroll county, where he taught
school for many years. Later he became
assistant warden of the penitentiary,
where he discharged his duties with
characteristic fidelity. He began bust
ness at his present location in Decem-
Der, 1905, and has built up a select, es-
tablished and growing patronage. He is
progressive in his methods and is to be
commended for maintaining an estab-
lishment which co-operates effectively
to promote literary tastes and influences.

tory service in professional pursuits. In
the field of medicine and surgery this
knowledge is secured only by a lona
and thorough course of study OF the
acknowledged authorities on diseases
and their treatment and of the nature
and efficacy of drugs and chemicals, all
of which has been supplemented by
anatomical demonstration. For the Sue

essay on Masonry, aud here is what he
wrote.
liking Solomon was man who lived 80
many years in the country that he was the
whole push. He was an awfully wise
man, and one day two women cameto him
each holding to the leg of baby, and
nearly pulling it in two and each claiming
it. And King Solomon wasn't feeling
right good and he said: why couldn' the
brat have been twins and stop this bother 2
'sAnd then he called for his machett
and was going to Weylerize the poor limo

said: Stop, Solomon, stay thy hand.

Then Solomon told her to take the
baby and go home and wash It's face, for
he knew it was hers He told the other

J. w. EBAUGH.
Contracting Carpenter.


Today Westminster stands at the
threshold of bright future and with
improved transportation facilities, either
railroad or electric, which are already
near at hand, it will be the ideal subur-
ban residence location. In view of these
conditions the future will be full OF
activity for the contractor and builder,
for his skill and experience will be the
first to receive recognition and demand.
Successfully identified with the struc-
tural lines in Westminster and through
out Carroll county and mechanic whose
skill and experience are substantiated
in innumerable instances throughout this
section, J. w. Albaugh continues to re-
spond to every demand in his line, exc
cutting all contracts with that promptness
and reliability that has won for his SER
vices the preference of many of the lead
ing property owners hereabouts. 1t would
be impractical to give anything like a
complete list of the structures worked on
and erected during Mr.. Ebaugh's career
as a journeyman, and during the past
fifteen years as contracting carpenter.
A few only will be mentioned in order to
set forth the character of the patronage
enjoyed and the ability to execute ac-
cording to the letter of the specifications.
These are the Atlantic Machine Shops,
and the residences of d. L. Farrar and
Snyder Stephan, of Westminster, and
the handsome home of William Shriver,
at Avondale, and others to be found in
and around Westminster Mr. Ebaugh's
shop is equipped with the necessary me-
chanical appliances to control time and
labor saving conditions, and which con-
sists of lathes, planners and saws, oper-
ated by gas motors of ample capacity.

MILTON 4. SULLIVAN.
Groceries and Feed.

Exercising a pronounced spirit of en-
terprise in anticipating and supplying the
needs of patrons in staple and fancy gro
ceries and feed, and enforcing in all
trade relations the utmost integrity, Mil
ton A. Sullivan has during the one year
in which he has been in business for HIM
self, built up an established patronage,
which continues to increase every day.
Previous to establishing himself at his
present location, 90 West Main street,
the stand formerly occupied by John I.
Wampler, Mr.. Sullivan was the partner
of William N. Keefer in the same bust
ness. His store is stocked with great
abundance and variety of the choicest
brands in pure food commodities, and
it is his constant aim to satisfy every
purchaser, as to quality and price of all
goods, believing that satisfaction for pa
irons means success for his business.
The display of goods at Mr.. Sullivan's
store leaves little to. be desired, the at
tractiveness of the goods shown, as well
as their freshness going far to convince
a customer that he is securing value for
his money. Mr. Sullivan is alert and
progressive, genial and convincing, and
being reliable in what he represents, and
in the manner which he fulfills his rep
reservations, his efforts as trade build
er are effective, and cannot but develop
an enterprise of growing magnitude in
future years. This new store is one of
the signs that predicate Westninster's
future trade conditions, and its enter
prising and popular owner is doing
successful business.

GEO. r. GRUMBINE.
Groceries and CONNECTIONS.


In every community there is always
present an opportunity for enterprise and
business ability. This observation is sug-
gested by the progressive career of Geo.
R. Grumbine, whose young ambition
prompted an early business career for
himself when, furteen years ago, he en-
barked in his present enterprise and be-
gan the uphill effort of trade building.
AS the months and years passed, his
well-dircted efforts brought forth results,
and today in both stock equipment and
patronage, as we'll as m excellence of
reputation, his business is among the
representative of Westminster's retail in
terests. At his storequarters, located at
Main street and Pennsylvania avenue 10
cally known as "the Forks" Mr.. Grum-
bine carries full and complete stocks of
staple and fancy groceries and splen-
did collection of candies, CONNECTIONS and
stationery, which anticipate promptly ev-
cry demand in these lines He is also
sales agent in this section for the Mark
er Gem" -four, a prime production, and
gives special attention to supplying coal
oil for incubators and brooders, in which
linen he does an extensive business, Mr..
Grumbine is among Westminster's popu-
lar and progressive younger business
men, of established reliability and integ-
rity, and his husthng methods as trade
builder have contributed in no small de-
gree to the excellent trade advantages
that prevail in the community. At his

THE WESTMINSTER FERTILIZER
COMPANY.

And now that Nature must be assisted
by substances whose properties are soil
enriching, and there being SO many
brands of fertilizers on the market, each
containing more or less merit, it is pru-
dent and wise to patronize home people
and home enterprises for needs in this
line for their interests and associations
are such as to render the best values. In
the sale and distribution of fertilizers it
can be truthfully said that the Westmins-
ter Fertilizer Company, which succeeded
Charles Schaeffer in February of the
present year, enjoys every advantage and
facility to render to the farmer of this
section the best values, reliable represen-
tation and a prompt service. This tirm
handles in bone fertilizers, the Big Gun,
Governor, Leader and Super A brands,
and supply all orders for bulk goods,
carrying constantly in stocklarge supplies
of ammonia, muriate of potash, nitrate
of soda, phosphoric acid the several
grades of tankage, etc, which are guar
anteed chemically pure and which is OF
fered in any quantity at guaranteed
prices. The officers of the Westminster
Fertilizer Co. are, Rev. Ezra G. Brown,
president; Geo. H. Hunt, vice-president,
and A. H. Huber, secretary-treasurer,
and the executive committee comprises
such well-known men as w. y. Marker,
H. S. Roop, John D. Schaeffer and M.
Chew. All the above individuals are
men of established integrity and reliable
ity throughout this section and their
identity with this enterprise is guar
antee that all trade relations will be of
the most satisfactory nature. The West
minister Fertilizer Company is also the
local agency for the Celebrated Ash
land Stock foods for horses and cattle,
a food that is popular all over the coun-
try, because of the excellent results Sc
cured in its use.
Since its inception the Westmins-
ter Fertilizer Company has done a graft
flying business and its future is bright
and encouraging. 1t is the aim OF the
management to handle goods that will
stand the test of the most careful analy-
sis, ask fair and honest prices, render
prompt and an accommodating service,
and by liberality in trade methods fos-
ter the most cordial relations among pa
irons. With such advantages and such
policy the Westminster Fertilizer Com
pany is justly entitled to preference, II
for no other consideration than the broad
one that money kept at home and spent
with home people finds investment at
home and tends to the improvement OF
local conditions generally, in which all
are directly and indirectly benefited.
