The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1912-06-14

no greater hustlers than were
Messrs. l.. Blumenthal and r. J.
Murray, the Board of Trade commit
tee, empowered to use all means
possible to secure this industry.
They were on the job from morning
till night making trips to New York,
Rochester, Scranton, Carbondale and
other places to secure signatures to
get the consent of owners of proper
ties which the committee held op-
tions for the purchase of same. BY
keeping persistently at it and not
allowing the grass to grow under
meath their feet they won the
victory. To them the people of
Honesdale owe a great debt for Sc
curing this acquisition to the town.
The undertaking was a tolerably
large one but the Board of Trade
committee and the banks were equal
to the emergency. Great credit to the
Board of Trade and its hustling COM
mittee.

of travel of material from the time
it is received in its raw state until
