4 church of Roxborough is erecting
handsome Gothic edifice on the
northwest corner of Ridge and Rox-
borough avenues. The site is a his
toric one and was long revered by
the older residents for the part taken
there during the revolutionary war.
The old stone dwelling has been de-
molished. but the large barn in the
rear not only has been preserved, but
Is being used as house of worship
while the buliC.ag Of the church

Both the barn and the house fig.

the winter Of 1777-177S, while the Brit

Washington's army was at Valley
Forge. enduring the hardships of that
terrible winter and scouting parties
were frequently sent out from the en-
campment there to the outlying dis
tricts of the city. One December

extensively relieve the strain on the
postal service. A tail dry goods
merchant receives consignment Of

utes to ring up two or three dozen
of his best customers who would be
especially interested in such goods
and ask them to call and examine the
laces The fiattery of such an invita-
ton appeals strongly to many persons.
Decentralization has been carried to
such an extent that much of its eff
fectiveness is frequently lost and
many circulars never reach the buyer
to whom they are addressed. whereas
the telephone call can usually be a
direct communication. A haberdasher
