store has had a successful career for
many years. Four large floors are

and freight is prepaid to all points
within one hundred miles. This store
was among the first to utilize motor
cars for delivering the furniture to
buyers in Harrisburg and vicinity. Re-
cent alterations. decorations and new
llghttnS fixtures have made the store
room very attractive and in stock and
appearance. this furniture store com
pares favorably with the leading ones
in Central Pennsylvania
Frank Boush has been associated
with Nj. a. Hoff as manager of the
store for several years, and having had
ten years experience in one of Har-

ing his going to the NJ. A. Hoff store

qualifying as an expert electrician,
opened little electrical shop in Har-
ris street From the very first, Mr..
Dowhouer had practically all the cleo
trfcal repairing 1t was possible for one
man to handle. This was undoubtedly
the result of the careful attention
given to the small details of his work.
FROM time to time the business in
creased in volume and 1t was not long
until larger quarters were required.
When this move was made necessary,
a new shop was opened at 21 North
Firth street. About this time the big
hre in the Aughinbaugh State Print
cry occurred. The fire seriously dam
aged between forty and fifty electric
motors and for a time 1t was thought
II would be impossible to put them in
nrst-class running order again. How
ever bids were put out and the job of
repairing and rewinding the motors
was awarded to Mr.. Dowhouer AS a
result. many of these motors, at one
time about to be discarded as totally
worthless, are still in active service.
Mr.. Dowhouer has made a speciality
OF rewindtng motors. generators, etc,
and has numbered among his patrons
some of the largest manufacturing
plants of the capital district, many of
them being some of the first accounts
opened by Mr.. Dowhouer.-Advertis

H. c. MURRAY BUILDS UP NICE
SMITHf TRADE IN FIVE YEARS

b. c. Murray. toolmaker and black
smlth, OF 19 Jonestown Road has an
interesting story to tell of the rand
expansion of the business started about
nNe years ago. Until that time Mr..
murray was connected with a large
rporatlon with little or no chances
OF advancement He knew from his
superiors that his work was whoIIv
satisfactory so he reasoned that If he
could make profit for such a large
corporation, he surely could nut a
business or his own on a paying basis.
When the business was first started
finances were low and his only asset :
were ms expert knowledge of the tool
makers and smithy's trade and a firm
sotutloh TO stick to it through all
the hard bumps he knew were quite
apt to come his way. BY the apnIica
tion OF the same careful princinles Of
workmanship to his own trade no soon
had very neat little following of
customers who always come back TO
MIN when tools needed dressing or
resharpening, and they in turn told
tnelr frlends. Soon, Mr.. Murray, with
all mis- long hours in the little shon
was unable to take care of tbe go
increasing patronage without helm He
looked about him and finally located
mechanic of unusual ability. and the
payroll of b. c. Murray was begun

working to full capacity. The bust
ness is not limited TO that of tool
making or that of the smithy. THE

tools, including lawnmowers. scissors
