HOTEL FOR IRVING CLIFF.

The possibilities for summer
boarding hotel upon slightly and
beautiful Irving Cliff are good. The
property, which is now for sale, is an
unequalled site for building of this
kind and that new hotel may be
built to replace the one burnt some
years ago is gratifying news. 1t is
something that everyone of us with
the welfare of Honesdale at heart
would like. We are going to shout
and continue shouting until every
man in town with a business, every
man in town who works for wages,
in short every person who is depend
ent in greater or less degree on the
life of Honesdale for his prosperity,
will want a hotel that will fill the
bill and want it so badly that he will
be willing to invest just as far as his
capital or credit will carry him.
1t is one of the most important
propositions that Honesdale has
come to our notice since the Cliff ho-
tel was destroyed by fire. Another
summer should not be permitted to
come and go (and it may be accom-
plished this year, without positive
action being taken either by the
Board of Trade or the parties inter-
ested in the sale of the Cliff, toward
the building Of big new Honesdale
hotel to care for the summer bust
ness.
Messrs. Morgan and Weyrauch,
representatives of the Brooklyn
Daily Eagle, who visited Honesdale
few days since and remained here
few days, claimed that Irving Cliff
and the surrounding scenery was
far ahead of other places that were
entertaining thousands of summer
guests every season. Honesdale has
number of advantages over other
towns and although it is not entirely
dependent upon the revenue of sum-
mer boarders, this business can and
should be cultivated. 1t is very evil
dent that If town wishes

YOUR NEXT SUMMERS ICE BILL


1t is going to be larger than usual,
if you are so unfortunate as to live
in Scranton. If you are so fortunate
as to live in Honesdale you may not
have to go down in your jeans after
larger roll than usual to satisfy the
ice mans demands. We hope you
live in Honesdale.
The unfortunate part of the ice
subject is that, while the ice men
claim they have to boost prices be-
cause of the short season, the fact
remains that much ice was allowed
to go unharvested that might have
been stored. This is notoriously the
case at Lake Ariel where the entire
crop was allowed to go to waste, des-
pite the fact that plenty of help
might have been secured to do the
harvesting.
Ice is a necessity, and it is as cruel
and unjust to so manipulate the
prices as to make it's use burdensome
to the consumer, as it is to corner"
articles of food in order that those
who have them to sell may wax rich
at the expense of suffering public.
1t is announced that the price for
small pieces in Scranton the coming
season will be a cent a pound,
which is certainly double what it
should cost. Furthermore, we ven
ture the suggestion that the larger
the ice prices the smaller will be-
come the chunks that are served out
from the ice wagons to the swelter-
ing public.

FRAUDULENT ADVERTISING
BILL SIGNED.

The business men of Honesdale,
more especially those who signed
cards asking Hon. H. c. Jackson and
Senator Harvey Huffman to give the
fraudulent advertising bill their
hearty support in this legislature,
will be pleased to learn that Cover
nor j. X. Tener signed the bill last
week. 1t is now unlawful to make
false or misleading statements in ad-
vertising in any newspaper, periodi-
cal, circular form, letter or other
publication published, distributed or
circulated in this Commonwealth" 1"
The enactment of this law will no
doubt lead to a marked change in
the advertising policy of some mer-
chants and in the character of the
advertising printed in some medi-
ums circulated in Pennsylvania. 1t
will not, however, affect the policy
of merchants who have been using
The Citizen, or impose new stric-
lures upon the censorship of Citizen
advertising. The law which now
governs every advertising medium
and every advertiser in the state has
long been an unwritten law govern
ing Citizen advertisers and adver-
tising as self-imposed restriction.
The value of The Citizen to it's
advertising patrons is traceabIe as
directly to its hold upon the conf
dence of its readers as to their num-
erical strength, their intelligence
and their financial capacity as buy
ers. They needed no law against ad-
vertising frauds to uphold their con-
fidence. The newspaper which pro-
tected them against such impositions
before fraudulent advertising was
outlawed will continue to WELD a
greater influence with them than
publications which become converts
to the cause of reliable advertising
only under the lash of primitive leg
islation.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1913-04-04

to have many guests it must be
easy of access, and pleasures
for those who come. Now that
Honesdale has made arrangements
for Chautauqua it is quite probable
that it will continue to have them
each succeeding year. This would
entertain a large assemblage for
week. In addition to this Honesdale
has a first class theatre, good bands,
and many other attractions which
would attract and entertain. Be-
sides these bathing, boating and
fishing on Bunnell lake or climbing
hills and wandering along quiet
brooks would please others.
The hotel accommodations offered
in Honesdale at present are made
quate to take care of summer board
ers outside of regular transient
trade.
If no single individual can be
found to furnish the necessary capi-
tai, stock company might be form
ed, and the business men of Homes
dale subscribe to the stock. This
method has been adopted in many
towns. The business men have had
their troubles and may not care to
assume any more obligations at pres
ent. They at least want one first
class hotel in the town. City people
leaving for a vacation avoid all
towns without suitable hotel accom-
modations and comforts. If they
cannot find them in Honesdale they
will go elsewhere.
Modern improvements are all
right. A sewer system is necessary if
Main street is paved. The new school
house is one of the best in the
country, but they all cost money
and increase the burden of taxation,
These expenses, these taxes, have
to be met; and they can be met only
by increasing our income. We must
enlarge our business; we must at
tract larger numbers of guests to our
doors. But to do this we must Of
fer some inducements, chief of
which are comfortable hotel accom-
modations. The hotel need not be
for summer only. There are a num-
ber of people who go north to winter
resorts as we'll as those looking for
place to spend their summer vaca-
finn HnnnGdaln nnnCf nffpnd m
these things if she is to hold her own
among other resort towns. Outside
of civic improvements the most i'm
mediate and crying need of Homes
dale is a first-class hotel on Irving
Cliff.
Honesdale has long had the repu-
tation of making quality goods. It's
industries are varied and give en-
ployment to native born citizens,
most of whom own their homes and
the majority of people have them
paid for. The Greater Honesdale
Board of Trade is planning to secure
other industries to locate here, even
though they are small. Small in
dustries will grow and before long
will become big manufacturing
plants. If you want to see Homes
dale grow, (and by the way it will
mean more business for you,) you
can give an expression to the secre-
tary of the Board of Trade when he
| calls upon you for the purpose of
boosting Honesdale industrially.

Tuesday morning at 6 o'clock,

very severe illness of ten days.
during which time she suffered
intensely, Notwithstanding all

partial paralysis of the left side,
which added greatly to her SUI

old Varnado home on Main Street
for more than two score years,
and raised a large family, there
being quite a number of grand
children and even great grand.

In 1908 she was married to

had given up his seat in the Leg

couple has lived rather a placid
lite thru their last declining days. |
Always an active, energetic
