store house in Patent alley and hand
some brick Office building on Boylston
street. A large number of men have
been employed for 20 years in the
Dresser Industries. Before his death,
Mr.. Dresser erected palatial home on
Jackson avenue, which is the admira-
tion of all beholders. 1t is said to be
the most magnificent residence in
northwestern Pennsylvania.
The death of Mr.. Dresser is a severe
loss to the community in which he
lived. He was at all times public spir.
tied and incessantly sought for means
to improve the conditions of Bradford.
Many times he had been offered induce
ments to move his manufacturing plant
to other cities, but always firmly re-
fused to consider such overtures. His
interest in Bradford was of the sub
stantial kind and portion of his large
fortune was always available in cases
where Bradford's interest was concern
ed. He was the type of man whom
any city could i'll afford to lose.
Mr.. Dresser was an ardent republican
and always took deep and active in.
terest in politics. His career as con-
gressman was an able and honorable
one.
Congressman Dresser's death is
deeply deplored by his very many
Cameron county friends, who always
kept warm spot in their hearts for
him. Our sympathy goes out to his
devoted wife and children, whose
hospitality many of us have enjoyed,
both in his palatial residence at Brad.
ford, as well as Washington. 1t was
Solomon r. Dresser who made it pos
sible for Hon. @. F. Barclay to secure
the Republican nomination for Con-
gress.

has resumed his occupation. On the

Evans took hold of beam near one of
the saws and it severed the nerves in
his wrist 1t was thought at first
that he would lose the entire use of his

be that one finger will always be stiff.
