Thousands of People Visited The
New Store Last Thursday and
Friday.
The formal opening of the new c..
H. Goss Co.'s hardware store on
Thursday and Friday of last week
Thursday and Friday of last week
was a very successful event and at
tracted nearly 5000 visitors, hun
dreds of them coming from outside
towns Everyone was very favorably
impressed with the fine building and
it's rich hardwood finish. 1t is with
out doubt the best lighted store
building in this section, both day
and night, and the evening illumina-
tions were very effective. Both the
new store and the large garage were
filled each evening of the opening
and MONEYS orchestra furnished
music for the afternoon and even
ing.
All the exhibitors advertised were
present and their large modern ex-
hibits gave the store the appearance
of a metropolitan emporium and a
building alone in it's class for all
northern New England. The exhi-
bitors were very enthusiastic in
their praise of the building and one
of the best informed of them said
he knew of no better building for
hardware purposes anywhere in this
territory.
After the close of the opening Fri
day evening the G. H. Goss Co. serv-
ed the exhibitors, a fine banquet at
the ST. Johnsbury House, there
being 80 in attendance. After the
tables were cleared there were in
formal remarks by the guests and
every speaker expressed high appre-
citation of the store and of the hos
pitality of it's proprietOrs. In addi-
ton to the banquet the company had
w. B. Atwood serve refreshments in
a large booth in the center of the
main floor of the garage.
| Besides the hardware exhibit
there was a fine exhibition of the
Mitchell and Packard automobiles
and trucks sold by the G. H. Goss
Garage. So successful was the event
that the company will make an open
ing and exhibit an annual event at
about the same time of year.
Manassah Perkins of Jefferson, N.
H, and L. A. Darling of East Burke,
members of the firm were in attend
ance at the opening.

Would Vote for Roosevelt.

To the Editor of The CaIedonian:
Our Commercial Club at a recent
meeting took a straw vote on the
preference for Taft or Roosevelt. 1t
resulted in a tie. 1 have regretted
since then that 1 was unable to at
tend this meeting, as 1 should have
cast my vote for Roosevelt which
would have settled the question of
one preferential gathering.
Respectfully,

townspeople, all went away salts

has such a finished production been
seen here. Everyone knew what
was to be expected from Hackett,
but his acting was beyond the expec-

him before and those who had seen
him previously found him stronger
than ever. The quality of the COM
