Of the most popular clothing
mercantile institutions in
Fairmont. The Hub name
became associated with
quality merchandise that
won favor with hundreds of
families in this vicinity. Its
clientele grewandgrew until
the fact became evident that
larger quarters, a more COM
modious house and greater
stocks would be a necessity
to properly and prohtably
uphold its reputation which
The Hub name so honestly
cherished.
Fer months larger quar-
tiers were sought. Every
means, every energy, every
legitimate avenue was en-
ployed to secure these more
commodious quarters which
The Hub wanted and which
it knew it must secure in
order to thrive-but a new
home could not be found
that would accommodate
the ideas Of advancement
which the manager Of The
Hub termed progress.
Therefore it was decided
that because its present loca-
ton at l23 Main Street was
too small and larger quar-
tiers could not be secured,
The Hub would retire from
business.
A sale Of its entire stock, hxturers
and furniture go in effect at once.
All accounts outstanding due the
Hub must be paid within the next

POSTAL OFFICIALS TO

Prosecutions Of business firms
who persist in placing hand-bills in
mail boxes at residences, will be
started unless the practice is stop
ped. according TO local postal auth
critics. Six months ago notice was
received by the local postottice that
the placing OF pills in mail boxes
had been made a criminal offense.
An example Will be made OF one of
the firms. according TO the postofiice
men.
The reason for stopping this prac-
tice is that IL causes a loss OF time

are showed into the mail boxes. the
carriers estimate that it takes a
quarter of a second 10 remove them
and with 500 stops. it amounts 10 a
considerable loss OF time.
