lights.
AT Menlo Park, New Jersey i'm
1850, Thomas A. Edison, the great
est inventor of the world, the wiz
ard OF the impossible, in the secret
recesses of his labratory, snatched
the glare of lightning from the
skies, harnessed it and gave to the
world light and power never
dreamed Of before. Progressive
Bedding, ever awake to its oppor-
tunities, soon felt the need of
Electric lights In 1899, the Cit
liens light company was organ
lied, the organization being af-
fected in March, 1899, and the first
officers of the concern were
Frank r. Chase, President; John
Greenop, sr., Vice President; and
NJ. a. Reed, secretary and treas
urer. On September 1st, the same
year, their first lights were turned
on in this city.
From its very inception up to
the present time the Citizens Light
Co. has been a power in our midst.
For five years, they furnished the
lights for our streets. The power
is obtained from the dam at
White S Bridge on Flat River and
is the same power that lights our
sister city of Lowell. A noticeable
feature of their lighting is the all
night service, twenty-four hours

OF constant use, and at low rate
for all who desire to use it.
In addition to the lighting
proposition, the company fur
nishes power for various industries
of the city. The cost from power
standpoint is remarkably low, and
too much can not be said of the
advantages of power of this kind.

Since its formation about thir-
teen years ago, the personnel Of the
Citizens Light Co. has remained
about the same, slight changes be-

Midst pleasures or palaces
though we may roam, be 1t ever
SO humble, there S no place like
home. This touching sentiment
so fittingly expressed by John
Howard Payne has rang down
through the ages, and will con
tinue to ring as long as mortal
man exists. Truly has he told the
thought Of a large portion Of the
inhabitants of the world today.
There is no place like home. Home
with It's joys and comforts, its
pleasures and its sunshine. If any
one would have IA truly happy
home-a home where pleasure
dwells supreme home where all
Of the business worries Of the day
are left on the outside and forgot
ten for the time-a home where
peace and prosperity are the
emblems that adorn the outer
door, it must be well kept home.
True there is often happiness to
be found in the humblest home
but the true happiness exists
where the man Of the house has
cared for every want that may
come along the line of furniture.
Belding has always been favored
with advantageous trading places
along the line Of furniture. but
never so well as now. a few years
ago Mr.. A. Nj. Hall of Hastings
came to this city and opened a
furniture store in the Belding
block. in the store next adjoining
the present location of the post
office. Mr.. Hall was a member Of
The Miller-IIarris Furniture Co. of
Hastings. a stock company, with
capital Of $50 900, and the com
pany thought that the Silk City
looked good for the opening of a
second store. The Miller-llarris
Furniture co. was first organized
in 1902, and out of the organlza-
ion thus formed. three stores
have grown. the third being locat-
ed i'm our sister city of Greenville.
With ample capital to conduct
the business, and with the man
ager Of each store a stakeholder
in the company, success has been
theirs from the very first. They
buy i'm large quantities from all OF
the markets Of the world and have
made many direct importations
from the lands beyond the sea

CITIZENS LIGHT co.

About 5000 years ago, the cave
man. living in the stone age, dread
eel the coming of the night. To him
night meant darkness and dark
ness meant fear. The Cave Man
had enemies-the Mammoth. the
Behemoth, the Ichthyosaurus-
animals SO large that the elephant
OF today is small in comparison.
and all that the cave man had with
which to defend himself was a
weapon of stone-a stone sledge
hammer-a stone spearhead, and
when night came on he dreaded
the darkness.
One night, so history says, while
filled with the terrors Of darkness
the cave man rubbed two bits of
dried wood together and some
sparks flew out. Who can picture
his JOY, his asonishment, his
wonder at the discovery. Gather
ing some rotted wood and twigs
he caught the spark-fanned it to
a blaze, and glory, he no longer
knew the darkness Of the night.
Light had come to him-and Sc
curity-and this was the first
dawn of light Of an artificial kind.
Gradually as the years rolled in
to centuries there came various
forms of light. The bible speaks of
oil lights and of lamps but our
fore fathers knew only the tallow
candle and the tallow dip. Gas
