OF S7,4OO SWINDLE
Morley, Called "Wiretapper"
Chief, in Prison Here as Do

Despite the fact that Fred Morley, one
of the reputed heads of the wireless wire-

Claude l.. Clehourne. II young English
man, was in prison when the larceny
took place last September. he will be
charged with the crime just as soon AZ

$4,000 and that there was doubt that
he could have paid the bet had he lost.

TILFORD,A A
FIRM, rs YEARS OLD
First store Opened in Green

Of a Century Ago.
1000 EMPLOYED NOW

Just three-quarters Of a century ago
to-day two young men opened the doors
Of a small sized grocery store on Car
mine street. in the old Ninth ward. To-
day. after seventy-five years. during
which New York city has spread itself

Harlem and East Rivers, a thousand em-

and several factories.
The two young members Of tho Arm

Village was then the most aristocratic
section Of New York. To get to Harlem
was a long and tiresome journey. II
vas a bold venture indeed for the two
ambitious young men to locate their store
In so wealthy a district, for between
them they had only $500. But somehow
they bought a modest stock Of staples
that satisfied the comparatively simple
demands Of their customers. Breakfast
foods were unheard Of then and canned
goods still IN the distant future.
Joseph Park and John NJ. T1lford at
FIRST sold the goods themselves over the
counter. The problem OF delivering
them was not pressing, for usually the
housewives came equipped with huge
baskets. n they shopped until the
baskets were full. The more fortunate
women came to the store In company
with a black footman who did the tot
Ing" n these housewives were consid-
cred aristocratic
The business Of selling groceries TO
Greenwich Village prospered and as the
mine street store. The city too was
growing and Park & Tflford followed
their customers aorthward and located
at Ninth street and Sixth avenue. II
was here that wagon deliveries began,
for the store was beginning to supply a
greater area. Every year brought new
articles of food to satisfy the palates Of
New Workers. and the sale Of this new
class Of groceries was profitable.
n business eventually divided into
branches. of which there are now ten in
the city, not to mention those In various
suburbs. In addition a cigar factory
was started In Key West and a six story
warehouse at 529 to $40 West Forty-sec-
and street was erected to hold huge
quantities OF goods before distribution to
the branches. A candy factory is MAIN
tanned for the manufacture Of confec-
tionery. The delivery service consists
Of hundreds Of horse vehicles and motor
trucks.
In 1905 Frank Tilford. a son Of one Of
h founders became president Of the
company and under his guidance the
greatest ratio Of development has taken
place.
