ances who will see to it that the future

ALBAUGHBABYLON GRO
Gerry co.

In times past the nearest metropolis
was the only advantageous wholesale
market for the country merchant. Be-
cause of its great distance and inacces-
sibility in many cases the visits of tray
cling representatives were few and far
apart, purchases were required to be
made to anticipate needs for weeks and
months ahead, requiring large OUTLAWS
of capital and creating the risks of over
buying, and its consequent loss of stale
and unstable stocks and a general I'M
certainty as to results And these con-
ditions, with large freight bills, and, in
emergency cases, larger express charges,
we're obstacles in the successful conduct
OF the country store. The establishment
throughout recent years of wholesale
houses in many of the smaller towns of
the country has completely overcome
these difficulties, for personal or tele-
phone service is at hand, the business re-
lations sustained are closer, shipments
are frequently made, thereby insuring
fresh goods, and conditions from every
standpoint are better and more satisfac-
tory, not only to the merchant, but to
his patrons as we'll Throughout eight
counties in the vicinity of Westminster,
and which include some of the territory
of Southern Pennsylvania, the travelling
representatives of the Albaugh Baby
lon Grocery Company are constantly WIS.,
iting the trade, supplying every need
promptly, and quoting prices that are
guaranteed against the best efforts of
the largest and most reliable houses of
the country The Albaugh y Babylon
Grocery Company occupy spacious store
quarters on West Main street, and four
warehouses, which have an aggregate
floor area of nearly 10000 square feet,
every inch of which is utilized by their
large stock equipment, which consists
of an excellent collection of groceries,
CONNECTIONS, cigars and tobaccos and gro
GERS supplies, purchased direct from
the grower and producer, and exhibit
ing labels and trade marks, which are
a synonym for we'll established popular
ity and preference The stocks are the
results of years of experience in sup
plying the needs of the trade through
out this section, and of enterprise on the
part of the management to keep thor
oughly abreast of the times in the in
PRODUCTION of new and comrnendable
ideas and productions in line with the
business The officers of the Albaugh
y Babylon Grocery Company are Geo.
w. Albaugh, President; F. I. Babylon,
Secretary, Treasurer and Manager, and
who are among the representative and
substantial citizens and business men of
this section.
This concern is the wholesale agency
for the celebrated Oliver Chilled Plow,
the standard of excellence the world
over. Shipments are made direct from
the factory in car load lots, and distri-
button made throughout this territory
at guaranteed figures. In this, as in all
other departments, a nice business is
done-a business, which in volume of
sales and patronages, gives the Albaugh
Babylon Co. leading position among
Maryland's wholesale interests since
they commenced business in December,
1895.

Shoes and Gents furnishings.
Another instance of the excellent mar
ket conditions that prevail constantly in
Westminster is furnished by the shoe and
furnishing goods establishment conduct
ed successfully by w. c. Devilbiss, and
located in neatly arranged storequarters
on West Main street. Those excellent
conditions are maintained by select
stock equipment which in footwear for

auctions of standard value the world
over, such as the celebrated Walkover
Shoe for men, the Dorothy Dodd crea-
ton for women and large line of equal
" popular makes in variety of sizes,
styles and prices sufficient to anticipate
and provide promptly for all tastes and
conditions. The furnishing goods de-
partment is also popular and proml-
nent feature of local market conditions,
the stocks containing the latest styles in
neckwear, the leading makes in collars,
cuffs, shirts, hosiery and underwear, and
splendid assortment of hats from the
leading makers of the country whose
blocks establish the current fashion In
all the departments of this establishment
the facilities are metropolitan in every
respect, SO that patron can be secure
in the knowledge that what he buys
bears the stamp of the latest and best
on the market, is correct in style and,
above all else, is thoroughly honest
equivalent. w. c. Devilbiss is native
of Westminster and for years was con-
nected with the firm of ]. I. Orndortf
Sons, whom he succeeded eight years
ago. During the years of his ownership
and management, the integrity and rella-
bility of his relations with the public,
and the alertness and enterprise charac-
teristic of the methods employed, have
built up representative establishment in
its line, an establishment which daily
contributes to Westminster growing
prestige as a popular trade center. be-
cause, on its shelves and counters can be
found the best the market offers, and a
service pronounced in its cordially hav-
ing constantly in view the satisfaction
of the patron. AS result nice bust
ness is done and patronage and popu-
larity grow apaee.

HOWARD E. KOONTZ.


Creamery.
Of such Importance to the general
health of the masses is pure milk and
cream that in recent years the most rigid
regulations have been devised and pro-
NOTED by the health authorities of the
country and the utmost vigilance eXer-
cised between dealers and consumers.
In the creameries conducted by Howard
E. Koontz, at Westminster and Frlzzel-
burg, all the facilities are possessed to
turn out cream and butter which for
absolute purity reaches and maintains
constantly the high standards estab-
lished. At his Frizzelburg plant, Mr.
Koontz has installed a Pasteurizer ap-
pliance, which destroys every injurious
germ in cream and butter, thereby secur-
ing absolute purity At this establish
ment are to be found the latest and best
equipment in testing machines, separa-
tors, churns and butter mixers, and ev-
erv facility to handle milk throughout
its various processes to the best advan-
tage. Shipments are made daily from
the Westminster and Frizzelburg cream
cries to the Baltimore market of cream
and butter, and large proportion of
these productions are supplied to the
inhabitants of Westminster Mr.. Koontz
deals also in eggs and feed, and car
supply all demands in these lines with
the best qualities to be secured direct
from the producer. Howard +. Koontz
is a native of Carroll county, near Frlz-
zelburg, and when a lad, and years be-
fore he attained his majority, started
in the creamery business at his native
place. Being naturally of progressive
disposition and hustler, he increased
the business from year to year, and n
June, 1901, established the creamery at
Westminster, which like the one at Friz-
zelburg, does nice business. In the de-
velopment of his enterprise, Mr.. Koontz
has maintained the very best market
conditions for the farmers of this sec
ton, guaranteeing to them constant
revenue for their milk productions His
enterprise is likewise appreciated by the
citizens of Westminster, for through his
efforts are secured high-class produc-
tions in cream and butter-commodities
which in their purity, are factors con-
tributing to the health of the community.

HOOD e WILSON.
Butchers.

Maintaining in the completeness of its
equipment the best facilities for supply
ing fresh meats, the butcher business
and meat market conducted by G. M.
Hood and E. Wilson, on West Main
street, opposite Bond street, can we'll
be classed among the important, popular
and progressive of local retail enter
prises. Through the operations of this
establishment the choicest meats are
served to patrons from cattle selected on
the hoof and slaughtered by expert
workmen, under the most sanitary con-
ditions. These are advantages which
eliminate completely for patrons the risk
of tainted and impure meats, as re-
vealed in the recent Investigations of
wholesale meat interests, and in the light
of these revelations, they are invaluable
and should be so estimated. Mr.. Geo.
M. Hood and Mr.. E. Wilson compose
the firm. Both are young men and ma
tees of Carroll county, Mr.. Hood
having been employed as butcher in
Westminster for seven years previous
to establishing at the present location, on
October Ist of this year. The firm kills
all the beef, veal and lamb used and buys
hogs dressed from local and reliable
sources and pays highest prices for beef
hides. A delivery wagon is kept con-
stantly employed and its constant use
reflects the volume of the business done.

WIN. ~. KEEPER.
Groceries and Feed.

In these days when pure foods are
the subject of popular consideration the
question of where to buy is of as
equally great Importance as what to
buy" During his career in supplying
the popular demand for food commodi-
ties, William N Keefer, whose estab
lishments are located at Nos. $500 East
Main street, has insisted upon purity and
freshness as being the essential to posi-
tive merit and on which qualities alone
representation can be fully substantial
ed These qualities are in evidence in
the many stocks that make up 5rst-
class grocery equipment and as esq
a satisfactory service is rendered. MIR.
Keefer also handles feed, baled hay and
straw, exercising always his established
policy of securing the best on the mar
ket, and in this department he enjoysfa
nice patronage among local horse own
ers. VIM N Keefer is a native of
Westminster, and for the past twelve
years has been successfully identified
with his present business, during which
period his methods have been thorough
ly established and approved by select,
representative and growing patronage
and reputation built up which places
his business among the leading and en-
terprising of local retail interests. In
view of these facts, the question where
to buy" is answered by the excellent
stock equipment, by the liberal policy
pursued and by service which has con
stantly in view the conveniences, desires
and satisfaction of patrons 4

In the event of either the temporary or
permanent absence of dear relative or
friend, or ones separation from the
scenes so intimately associated with
ones life, what possession affords great
er consolation to its owner, or is mo-
highly priced from the standpoint of the
purest sentiment, and is above and be-
yond money consideration than the

To the inhabitants of Westminster
and its adjoining territory, the stulio
conducted by S. S. Wilson, located at

COURT HOUSE.

The floor is sub-divided into dressing
rooms, studio, operating room, dark
room, work room, printing room and
stock room. This studio makes special
ty of portrait work and the departments
are presided over by S. S. Wilson, an
artist of pronounced ability and exper-
fence, and who confirming his efforts to
this particular line, cannot fail of secur-
ing the very best results. The patron
age comes from all over Carroll county,
because the equipment is of such pro-
nounced excellence in lenses and Gamer
as as to make it an easy matter to rem
der the best satisfaction. Mr.. Wilson,
who owns and operates the studio started
in business in Westminster six years
ago, after gaining experience in New
York and Philadelphia, succeeding at
that time J. H. Krechton. The imprint
of the Wilson Studio can be read on in
Vulnerable photographs in the homes OF
the people of this section, and this is the
surest test of the constantly growing
popularity of this establishment. In this
respect the service is unequaled and the
studio enjoys pronounced advantage in
all that pertains to modern photography,
executed by experts at the camera and
in the dark room.
