One OF the many prettily decorated
Christmas trees of Pleasantville is that
of Mr.. Joseph B. Thomas on West Yer
ona avenue. Among the branches are
small electric lights, while at the base
of the tree is an electric railway, with
ear i'll operation, small dynamo and
lamp post. These are all lit by electric
ity OF course we can understand why
Mr. Thomas should have things running
by power as he is a capable and thorough
electrician always busy. This accounts
for his having such a pretty electrical
display and tree.
