The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-11-23
WILLIAMSTOWN

The cash system which has been fea
ture of the daily business in the ole
Lynde store, now owned by the G. H
McAllister Co., has been relegated to the
limbo of the has -beens and with it the
wires and cash cups centering in a high
cashiers desk, where the cashier was
wont to sit in solemn state. In its day
this was an improvement over the cash
drawer, and now it has given place to a
modern electric cash register, which can
do almost everything except knit sweat
ers for the Red Cross.
Beginning Dec. |, the local creamery
will begin the shipment of whole milk
and cream to its Boston station and will
also continue the manufacture of butter.
| This step has been inaugurated in the
belief that it will be an added con-

as well as furnishing an additional sup
lply OF milk and cream to the patrons
of the Lyndonville Creamery association
in Boston. Call on the manager of the
creamery, Alden II. Jewett, for further
particulars.

The annual sale and chicken pie supper
of the ladies' aid society of the Congre-
gational church was held in the church
parlors last Friday evening and was the
most successful of recent wears from ev-
cry point of view. The fact that sugar
and conservation considerations
made some slight deviations from the
customary menu in no way detraeted
from the satisfactory character of the
supper served by the ladies', nor did the
lack of a candy booth seem to lessen the
satisfied feelings of the treasurer when
all was over. That official reports as a
result that $50 is donated by the soei- |
ETY. to the local Red Cross and the same |
amount to the fund for Armenian and |
Syrian relief. By no means the least |

reader. The whole program was very
cordially received by the large audience
