its prosperous and growing condition
than the fact that in the past six months
the Banks deposits have had the note
worthy increase of fifty per cent!
The first President of the Peoples
National Bank, was DR.. J. V. Craw-
ford. The late highly esteemed George
VI. D. Hart, of Townsend, who was for
a number of years its President, was
succeeded by the Hon. George L. Town
send, of Odessa, now U. S. Marshall for
Delaware.
MIR James D. DavissJr, formerly of
Galena, Md, was elected to the impor-
tant position of Cashier in 1912, and
manages the Bank s business with equal
efficiency and politeness. Mr.. Robert
Douglas was promoted to the Office, Of
teller in 1913, and Mr.. N E. Letherbury
and Mrs. @argaret Pierce act as book

Its acadia" butter brand has be-
come a household word.

Messrs. Charles H. Cook and Frederick

fire, but there arose phoenix-like from
its ashes the present large and hand
some concrete structure now forming
its home-a modern creamery armed
with every device to get the best results
inmaking pure and sanitary dairy goods
and no cost or. pains is spared to achieve
this end.
The business is constantly expanding,

towns and cities around.
Mr.. Edward S. Lewis became in 1893
its manager. Mr.. Brady's relations to
his employees is ideal, and no employer
was ever more highly esteemed by his
workman. His justice and liberality
to them has become a proverb.
Every farmer should read Mr.. Brady's

Newman in the Town Hall. Mr.. New
man is a highly skilled exhibitor, and
not only has had long experience at the

In few words, heis an artist in his busi-
ness.
During the Holiday week he shows
some especially choice things which no
lover of the Motion Picture drama
should miss.
For particulars read his Xmas week
program in this paper.
If his art on its own merits did not
demand for Mr.. Newman a full recog-
milton at the hands of the public, his
generous donation to the Belgian Fund
of over 500 wherein he himself paid
for the high-priced films shown, and
all other expenses, surely would.
Mr.. Newman is trying hard to cater
to the best tastes Of his Middletown
patrons and deserves the well-flled

Foeel 6 Burstan. Merchants

In this enterprising firm of leading
merchants, MiddIetown has still another
Illustration Of two self-made men who
from very modest beginning have
built up a business which is not less a
credit to their town than to themselves
nov widely and favorably known as
the sFogel & Burstan Department
Store.
About four years ago the firm said,
.sBorh this town and county have long
needed such Department Store, and
Fogel & Burstan are filling that want
and then added this as one of their bus
mess maxims, All goods worth the
money-some goods more than worth
the money, and hence every buyer
pleased-for a pleased buyer is our best
advertisement.
The firm of Fogel & Burstan have
several times enlarged their store and
they are constantly adding new and
better lines of goods to their extensive
and well selected stocks.
Observers can see from year to year
that the firm is more and more reaching
all classes of buyers in this community
even the most fastidious. In fact many
skeptical persons are coming at last to
discover that the firm Of Fogel &
Burstan are really selling much finer
class of goods than they imagined.
Hence one notes every now and then
many new faces.
Mr.. Fogel is young and energetic and
makes no secret of his commendable
ambition to place his firm in the very
front rank indeed, finally, to win for
it the mercantile primacy of the town,
and neighborhood- -and his friends are
convinced he wilf ultimately attain his
high ideal.
The firm is now projecting further
and yet greater improvements impera-
lively demanded to accommodate their
constantly increasing business-a very
agreeable consequence following their
uniformly honorable and CT urteous
treatment of their patrons.

TIE Beacon College


Don't fail to read the large illustrated,
full page cover advertisement Of the
The Beacon Colleges.
Mr.. w. H. Beacon, an experienced
and able educator, especially on COM
mercial lines, and who was six years
with the Goldey College, in 1900 founded
the Wilmington Beacon College
Like most things which grow to big
ness, its beginning was humble, the
school needing but three small rooms,
while now it occupies over 5000 square
feet Of floor space. in the fine Odd Eel
lows Building, southeast corner Of
Court House Square, Wilmington.
Read also in our Beacon College
editorial the eulogy we quote from
Judge Conrad Hist. of Del, Vol /.
p. S2S.
Measured by the growth in numbers
of these two schools, and what is still
better, by the striking business sue
cesses their graduates have SO often
won, it is but Just to say that The
Beacon Business Colleges stand in the
very foremost rank of practical educa-
tional institutions.
Its students are emphatically hand
picked, and it is this careful personal
attention, upon the part of President
Beacon himself as well as of his corps
of able teachers, to the work and needs
of each Individual student, that re,
suits in so many instances in fitting
them for fine business careers.
Nothing short of this honest study of
the individuality of each student will
accomplish such resultss- plus also,
contact with the infectious enthusiasm
of such born teacher as Mr.. Beacon.
The Beacon students are sent all
around the globe-even to Australia,
and the Philippines. r. Beacon makes
a specially of training students for the
Civil Service examinations, and his
graduates have been very successful in
getting responsible positions therein.
Here is what one of Middletowns s
former well known Academy teachers,
rs. Ida R. &c rome, says about Bea-
com:
"After examining carefully the
courses of study used in several busi-
ness colleges, I decided to send my
daughter to the Beacon Business Col
Iege, because it corresponded with my
ideas of what is necessary for a busi-
ness training. The position secured for
Louise was very desirable, and we feel
sure you will be interested in her sue
cess. Your schoo must succeed as it is
founded npon the right principle the
| good OF each student!'i
The high opinion our community has
formed of Beacon College is shown by
the fact that it is constantly sending Its
youth thiuher.th the following four students
now being in attendance there:
Misses Estelle Beasten and Sarah
Hates, Messrs. Theodore Whitloek and
Merritt Lockwood.
