Paper BUYER Excited.

doubt yesterday that the paper which
was used TO wrap the part Of the wom-
ans body was Of the same make as
that bought from S. H. Hurwitz, a
druggist. of No. 1855 Eighth avenue.
It was here that a man came one day
early last week and called for two
sheets Of tar paper. Significance is
given 10 this from the fact that the
druggist. while not able TO give an
accurate description of the purchaser,
recalled that he seemed excited.
The druggist also recalled that the
man asked the size Of the paper. When
told it measured 40 by IS inches he
without hesitation paid for two sheets.
The fact that he did not make many
sales of tar paper at this time Of the
wear created an impression on the
druggist. He said the man was in his
early thirties, about feet II inches in
height. weighed about $50 pounds and
was Of lark complexion and in need
OF shave. He was in his shirt sleeves.
hatIess and his general appearance was
untidy.
Byrd Walker, president Of the White
Tar Company. the manufacturer OF
the tar paper. said yesterday afternoon
after examining the paper found
around the second part of the womens
torso that he felt sure the paper was OF
the same make that was bought from
Hurwitz. His opinion was shared by
Jacob Scheuch also an officer Of the
company.
THE paper is manufactured in a
paper mill up the state" Mr.. Walker
said. and is known as kraft paper.

THE
GORHAM co.
Goldware


in Corham chronology
1881 - Manufacture OF silver
ware began.
1868 - Started making plated
ware.
l003-Added goldware to the
list.
In some respects the latter is
the most significant date. Not
that any such volume OF gold ar
ticles is produced as OF the other
two, but that the production OF
A. and l8-karat gold articles in
variety and quantity signifies
magnitude, a clientele and crafts
manship enjoyed by only the
greatest firms.
Gorham's is one of the very
few firms in the United States
that make the goldware they sell.
The others could be counted on
five fingers. 1t was perfectly
natural step for Gorham's TO be-
gin making goldware. As IN
other instances of Gorham expan-
sion. it was to meet the demand
OF customers for goldware OF fine
workmanship and design.
The variety OF these gold ar
ticles. made in the Gorham shops,
is very large. In fact, it IS SUR
prisingly large when YOU consider
the intrinsic value OF the metal
and the expensive workmanship
that is required.
Itisobviously superfuous to say
that upon these articles the Cor
ham shops have lavished their
highest skill. Gold artihce reaches
back beyond the Homeric age
and here it attains to triumph OF
skill and beauty never Letore
realized.
Almost a kings ransom OF gold
articles are made up and on daily
display in, the Gorham stores.
Here is list of the most notable
Of these articles, any or all OF
which the Gorham statesmen
would be glad to show YOU:
Gold loving cups, gold toilet
sets, gold desk sets, gold picture
frames, gold clocks, gold novel
ties, variety OF gold articles suit
able for golden weddings, gold
coffee sets, gold articles for chill
dren consisting OF bowls, plates,
porringers, cups. porridge spoon,
knife, fork and spoon; gold cigar
and cigarette cases. gold match
boxes, gold cycglass cases, gold
TASKS. gold vanity cases. gold
card cases, gold poudre cases, gold
bon bon boxes, gold vases, gold
candleSticks, gold sugar bowls
and cream pitchers, gold jewel
cases, gold shaving sets. gold
reading glasses, gold sewing sets,
gold paper knives, gold napkin
rings, gold pocket knives, gold
teaspoons, gold coffee spoons.
OF course, in addition to these
Gorham's has a complete line OF
gold watches and gold jewclry.
All Of these articles are made IL
II or IS karat gold. The de-
signs are created i'll the Gorham
studios at Providence and in New
York. They are the work OF
artists who have won fame and
distinction in their profession.

Ate many years experience in deal

Many children living in the rural

and Ii is expected that their interest
in the competition will stimulate great
or interest among the parents. Bad

who originally selected this plat of

| Even now Captain Wright lives In

him. and the home he built in the
large section he reserved for his use
| is one of the finest in the entire County

are a large number of magnificent

in the near future Greater Richmond.
| Unquestionably, the Realty and FL
nance Corporation of Virginia. who de-
veloped Wrights Park. looked far into
the future when they decided on the
plans and regulations for their new
subdivision. They reflect the broad eX-
perience gained from the successful

In every detail. the building restric-
tions and advantages Of Wrights Park
are such that the home-builder is pos
lively assured of neighboring homes
of the highest possible character The
avenues arc without exception broad
and beautiful. Wide granolithic side
walks. deep sewers and electric lights
and other city advantages are enjoyed
! by the Wrights Park home-owner
We are informed that there will be
an opening day sale at Wrights Park
on Tuesday, April %, and no doubt
| there Will be great number of WISH
tors TO look over the property and Sc

Men who know predict another great
success for the company developing

exceedingly attractive and the terms
very liberal. 1t will form an exceed !
ingly desirable portion of the city
