In Business Forty Years,

A. L. Bailey was in Burlington Thurs
day to celebrate the 10th anniversary OF
his business career. A musical program
was rendered in the upper parlors, and
a photograph concert in the basement
where refreshments of sandwiches, cake
and coffee were served.
Few Burlington merchants have had
as long business history as Mr.. Bailey
says the Free Press. Forty years ago
Mr.. Bailey. young man. scarcely out OF
his teens, began to sell Estey organs at
St. JohnSbury, covering a large territory
in upper New England. From that
modest beginning. has grown this very
large business. with ten stores scattered
over northern New England and north
eastern New York. Mr.. Bailey's home is
still in St. Iohnsbury, where he has a
large interest. and for Is years he has
been president of the Citizens Savings
bank.
Mr.Scammou says: Il have known
him fifteen years. was a factory repre-
sentative selling 10 dealers, up TO the
first of this year. Mr.. Bailey was one OF
nv customers and very soon we became
close friends, and this acquaintance and
friendship accounts for my being in
charge of Burlington district. Although
the home Office is at St. Johnsbury, there
are really two general otfices.-the one
there and the other here.
Theodore ST. Antoine has been with
the Bailey house nearly fourteen years,
and two other men are still selling pianos
for A. L. Bailey, who have been in his
servce,-one for % years and the other
for rs. One otherimportant personality,
! in connection with the executive work
at Burlington. is Miss Carrie Drew, who
has had charge Of the books tor some
| FIVE years.
Col. Henry W. Hall came to Burning
ton in 1879 to represent A. L. Bailey.

Another Springfield Fire.

St Johnsbury friends ofC. A. and W.
D. Woolson of Springfield have great
sympathy for them in their recent losses
BY FIRE. Two months ago {. A. Wool
sons house was burned causing loss
OF $4,000. And last Wednesday three
barns owned by William D. Woolson'
near his handsome residence in Spring
field. were burned with 80 tons OF hay.
The loss will be about $4,000, partly
covered BY insurance. Some valuable
stock including horses and cattle, were
saved. as were also some carriages
tools. and two automobiles. The fire
started from an unknown cause and had
made good Roadway when it was dis
covered by the hostler, who had suit
of clothes and about $50 in money IN a
closet in one of the barns. When be
opened the closet the clothes and money
