result of the extraordinarily dense
fog last night. Unable to see owing
to the fog, DR.. Isadore Siegel, of 145

DR.. Siegel says his accident oc-
Cured when he was driving west on

machine was running slowly at the
time. AS he felt it running down the
embankment towards the Central

B. PRATT SAYS THE
LOCAL STORES ARE BEST

Hello COLONEL What are you do
ing in town.
"Why. Pratt. I come to Perth Am
boy every week to market" Well,
Colonel you can buy In Perth Am
boy as cheaply as you can in New
customers from towns and cities for
to me.
Now the Colonel comes from a city
Z miles away to shop and market In
our town: and from my own personal
observation, with a good knowledge
of New York and Newark, / know
the Colonel Is wise and that when
any Of our citizens leave Perth Am
boy to shop they do so at an expense
Of money, time and nerves.
There has been a wonderful i'm
provement in our shops, stores, thea
tres and markets in the past few
years and they attract thousands OF
customers from towns and cities for
many miles away and these people
appreciate our stores, streets and
| also our merchants who are able,
| genial, accommodating and honest.
, They deserve the patronage Of all our
own townspeople.
We should use our best efforts to
Improve our facilities of travel, max
ing it quicker and safer by double
tracking our trolleys, to induce trade
from still more distant parts. The
time Is not far distant when we
should be a great shopping and trade
. center, perhaps the second city for
retail business in New Jersey.
Sincerely,
| WILLIAM B. PRATT.
