Hitch Barns and Rest Rooms

real interest in the comfort and pleas
ure of the stranger within it's gates.
The best that some towns do for the
farmer who drives in to spend his
money at the local stores is to put a
row OF hltching posts along Main
street. If there is even shed under
which he can shelter his horses it is
usually an adjunct to the tavern and
a strictly private institution. Some
times one or more of the churches in
small towns will provide sheds, but
these are usually out of the business
district and the farmer who happens
to be Hardshell Baptist frequently
objects to hitching his Orthodox
horses in a Unitarian shed.
Barn Helps Town.
One of the marks of a live town of
today Is the community hitching barn.
Not long ago l visited little Wiscon-
sin town where the local business men
were thoroughly organized for the
common good, and saw the hitching
barn they had built for the free use
of farmers and everybody else who
had occa sion to drive into town. There
was room for at least fifty teams in
this big, tight-walled. well-roofed build
ing substantiol enough to provide
ample protection to the horses even in
the coolest weather, and with hay and
feed for sale at the lowest prices for
those who did not bring their horses
fodder with them. The blacksmith had
moved his shop next door, the wheel
wright was just across the street and
the agricultural implement and ferti-
lizer warehouse next door on the 9th
er side. And right around the corner
was Main street and the rest room for
the women.
My trade has doubled in the two
years since We established the hitch
barn and the rest room," said the lead
ing general mercb/lt to me as he was
loading up one or two automobile de-
| livery wagons for a trip out into the
country. And all the other merchants
on Main street told me substantially
! the same thing.
Hitch barns and rest rooms are on
/ ly a beginning. The town of the fu-
ture is going to extend its community
spirit until every one who lives with
in radius of many miles regards
himself as a part of the community,
and is recognized by the people of the
town as one of their kind.
There is no other way in which
Richmond can get such big returns
for such a little expenditure of time
and money and human kindness.
II fyour commercial organization is
not interesting itself in establishing
rest rooms and hitching barns-or
what corresponds to them in the way
Of courtesies TO strangers-it ought to
be.
There isn't any doubt that a public
spirited organization like this one in
your town would interest itself in
these things if every public-spirited
individual like you were helping it,

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
IN SAME BUSINESS
w. HI. Duning Celebrates
Anniversary of Start in
L0cksmith Field.

One of Richmond's business estab-
lishments that has just celebrated its
twenty-fifth anniversary, is that es-
tablished by William II. Dning in
1883. Five years after he arrived in
Richmond from Germany, Mr. Dun
ing set up in business as a loeksmith
and gunsmith. His original quarters,
which he shared with a shoemaker.
were on South Ninth street. As his
business increased he moved from
these small rooms 10 portion of the
building now occupied by Green's liv-
cry stable. and, as necessity again de-
manded left these quarters for the

rooms on Main street, now occupied
by Ed. Cooper's grocery.
During the time in which these
moves were made MIR. Duning had
been adding new lines TO his business.
and bicycles and umbrellas were form
ing a great part of his sales.
The last change of quarters occur
red three years ago and since that
time Mr.. Duning has remained. on
Eighth street. Pope motorcycles have
been added 10 his line of goods. He
has been ably assisted in building W
the business by his son. Raymond
Duning, Mr. Duning also makes keys
repairs umbrellas, adding machines
and typewriters.

| don't know what town first
thought of a public rest room for the
benefit of people who came to town
for a days shopping. If II did | would
start a movement to present to that
town some sort of testimonial from
the grateful farmers wives Of the
whole United States, in appreciation
of the public spirit and self interest
that prompted the innovation.
For hundreds of years farmers and
their wives have been driving to town
to do their trading, but it is only a
matter of a dozen years Or SO since it
began to be realized that there might
be better place for the wives than
sitting in the buggy on Main street
while the husbands were buying plow-
shares and fertilizer And when that
idea struck some bright mind, it was
rapidly Crystal1Zed into fact, and pref
ty soon the rest room. established by
community effort, began to be one of
the things you could find in almost
every little town in the Middle West.
Established Rest Rooms
There are as many ways of estab-
fishing and conducting a rest room as
there are of doing anything else Once
in a blue moon some individual mer-
enough to set off part of his store or
rent the adjoining store if he hasn't
room enough, and furnish 1t as a rest
room for women and children who
came to town from the farms. Where
there is an interurban trolley line it
is usually not particularly difficult.
if the people of the town really insist
upon it. to get ii to establish a rest
room at the trolley station. But the
favOrite style Of rest room is the one
that the whole community takes part
IN establishing and maintaining-lik
Che one at Svea, MINI. Here the local
ctx ic organization not only established
rest room. but the women of the
town got together and arranged
among themselves SO that one of them
would always be in attendance at the
rest room to see that visitors from
the country We're not annoyed by per-
sons who had no business there, aud
to help make things cOmforta BILE gen
orally Then. they went a little far
Their and made the rest room a station
for the state travelling libraries and
saw to it that there was always sup
ply of books, magazines and news
papers in both English and ScandinaV-
ian, which those who were waiting,
could read. and under certain condi-
| tons. could take home with them. One
result Is that farmers living very
| close TO the much larger town OF Will
mar, nine miles away, drive to Svea
to do their trading, because the WOm-
en- folks have such a good time when
ever they go there.

There is a popular idea that des-

Black Java about completing our
list of general purpose or practi-
cal varieties, We had the Polish
and Hamburgs for the ornamental
breeds. i'll which there have been
no changes or additions in all
these years.
At that time we thought We had a
complete assortment, with the Plym-
outh Rocks (barred), Wyandottes (sil-
ver), Black Javas and Dominiques for
the middIeweight class, laying and
market fowls, the four varieties of
COchins and two Of Brahmas for the
heavyWeights or rooster varieties, and
the White and Brown Leghorns for
the strictly laying breeds, with the
Hamburgs and Spanish thrown in for
good measure.
But the passing OF years shows US
that we were only just starting with
varieties.
We have manufactured the five ad-

the six Of Wyandottes. Then came the
