BIC CAPITAL FOR
CREW LEV|Ck

Information that the purchasers Of
the Crew Levick Company, which has
a branch in Bridgeton, intend to re-
capitalize it at $20,OO0,OOO came from
authoritative sources when the sale
Of the oldest independent oil distri-
butter in the country was consummat-
ed Monday. The stock was taken ov-
er by Montgomery, Clothier & Tyler
and Elkins, Morris & Co., of Philadel-
phia, acting for tn purchasers. It is
understood that they compose New
York syndicate Of independent OH
men.
By the terms of the sale under
which the corporation passed out of
existence, the entire issue of $780,
600 common stock brought $5,O0O,OOo
The preferred stock, of which there
is $1,250,000, will be called later at
S125 share. Eighty-fve per cent.
of the stock had been deposited up
TO yesterday afternoon With the Com
mercial Trust Company of Philadel-
phis. o,~-
For the time being no change will
be made in the management of the
company. The purchasers will de-
velop large refining and exporting
business on 'Petty's Island, in the
Delaware River, where recently
tract of so acres was bought. This
site will be extended considerably by
another purchase 1t is understood
the incoming interests will push the
exporting business particularly and
will increase the fleet of tank steam
ships. The Crew Levick producing
properties are at Titusville and
Warren, Pa.

PATENT THAT
IS INGENIOUS

Two Bridgetonians with places of
business On South Laurel ST., Howard
L. Irons, wheelwright, and Francis
G. Brewster, blacksmith, were recent
ly granted a patent which is destined
to prove welcome innovation in the
manufacturing of wagons for farm
work.
The inventors of this device have
provided a very simple and ingenious
means for attaching and detaching a
slip tongue to a wagon, and at the
same time have combined with this
means an arrangement Tor preventing
the strains usually delivered through
a wagon tongue from injuring the
draft horses when the vehicle en-
counters rough or uneven roads.
The daft pole or tongue may in an
instant be detached from the vehicle
and placed upon the wagon body or
stood in the corner of the barn or
shed when it is desired to house the
vehicle, thereby avoiding the neces-
sity of cutting an opening in the barn
or door to permit of the tongue pro-
jecting through.
On July 9th Messrs. Irons and
Brewster received the patent papers
and will have one of the wagons on
display at the Changers Picnic at
Tumbling Dam Park. Their present
plans contemplate selling the patent
rights for all parts of the country ex-
cept the local territory, which they
will take care of themselves.

TWO men
FOR COUNCIL

A number of representative men of
Bridgeton are discussing the Council
mans election which will take place
this Fall. Two of the present mem.
bers OF City Council will retire, thew
oeing President John H. Evans and
Thomas o. Esibill. At least one of
these gentlemen will not be a candi-
date for reelection under any circum.
stances and probably both will decline
to accept re nominations.
Those in touch with the local situa-
ton realize that the affairs of the citv
are in most chaotic condition, and
not in twenty years has there arisen
such absolute necessity for men of ca
pacity to be in City Council. It is no.
toriously certain that it is almost i'm
possible to interest men best fitted to
be in Council as candidates, but the
situation is such that it will require the
skill and judgment of capable men to
bring the city affairs into ANYTHING
like satisfactory condition. Regard
less of politics or prejudice, it is abso-
lutely essential that the best thinking
men of Bridgeton should use their ut
most endeavors to get men of business
ability to give some of their time to
the affairs of the CITY.
