The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1913-11-28

Dickens story, "a Tale of Two Cit
ies," the Hawley depot is really a
tale of two depots and an old post
Office Look at the interior and you
can readily see where two buildings
were Joined, looking very much as if
some giant had taken a building in
each hand and then showed them to-
gether like an old accordeon. You
have noticed the small part on the
west end that is used for baggage.
That part of the depot was at one
time a little building that stood all
by it's lonesome on the bank of the
Middle Creek near the bridge, and it
was used for a post office. 1t was
the property of the Pennsylvania
Coal Company.
The original depot for West Haw-
ley used to stand farther up the
track towards Honesdale. All
freight for Hawley was handled at
the Eddy. A few years ago it was
decided to remove the freight depot
to West Hawley. The Eddy people
objected, protested and injoined the
Erie Company. 1t was then learned
that John Atkinson gave the land
for the depot and the Erie Company
accepted the gift with the under
standing that a passenger depot
should be maintained at the Eddy
and could not be removed; but the
Company was not obliged to main
tain a freight depot. That is why
the freight depot is now up town
and why there is only q stopping sta
tion at the Eddy with an agent who
goes to attend the passenger busi-
ness only.
Previous to the removal of the
freight depot from the Eddy to vest
Hawley the only freight station
West Hawley ever had was in the
days of the gravity railroad when
there was freight store house not
far fom the foot of No. 13. Dick
Taylor was the truck runner, and
much of the freight was leather from
Robertson & Gales tannery, and dry
hides that were bound for that es-
tablishment, which cut big busi-
ness swath in the place that is now
called Clemo.

In every way winner,
At Baschons you can get it,

The price won't make you feel thin
