TROLLEY SERVICE
To NORTH ADAMS
To Be RESUMED?
If Not. Why Was Work Car Run
Over Line Today?
SUPT, NEARY IN CHARGE
lntimated that Long-Awaited An
nouncement Would Be Made by
Gen. Mgr. c. @. Richmond Soon

Hope, long deferred, that service
over the Bennington and North Ad-
ans trolley line would be resumed
some day, was given an inspiring i'm.
petus this afternoon when a passen-
ger car in charge of Superintendent
w. L. Neary, and carrying a gang Of
track workers, arrived in the village,
1t was the first car seen in Putnam
square since service was suspended
by the strike last August and it Great
ed almost as much interest as a cir
Gus. 1t was also one of he most
hopeful signs seen hereabouts during
this admittedly backward season.
Supt Neary had his usual cheerful
smile in fine working order but he
refused to 60 far beyond the smile.
Asked if the company were going to
resume service, the superintendent
enlarged the smile and remarked that
the fish took hold in fine shape the
last time he was out
Mr.. Richmond will have something
to say to you folks in few days" was
the most that could be obtained from
the superindentdent
During the last few days there have
been improved indications that serv-
ice was to be resumed between Ben
nington and North Adams. 1t has
been impossible to obtain any posi-
tive statement that would warrant
any such announcement. The ap.
pearance Of the car here this after
noon. however, is fairly good evi-
dence that the company is planning
to give the people of Bennington
some kind of service to North Adams.

For the past year or more said
Mrs. Wildrick, u have been in very
poor health, | suffered principally.
from chronic indigestion and my con
dition was so bad had to spend half
of my time in bed frcm sheer weak
ness. In spite of all the medicine
took ! could not possibly get any re-
lief and became so nervous and un-
strung that at times | could hardly
realize what | was doing I just had
no appetite al all and suffered terri
bly, nearly all the time with indiges-
ton and was really in very bad way
physically If / did eat a little some
thing | would always have miser
able distressed feeling afterward and
l tell you was going down hill
pretty fas.
We'll, | just can't find words to tell
you how really bad off | was and also
to tell you what Tanac has done for
me, for | feel as we'll now as ever
felt in my life. Why, after taking
only three and Il half bottles Of This
medicine l have actually gained Is
pounds in weight and everyone tells
me am looking better than in years!
"Since | have been taking Tanlac
! have found out that several of my
intimate friends are also taking it and
everyone Of them are delighted with
it, / am surely glad to recommend
Tanlac and help spread the goodness
of this medicine. Yes, I want You to
use my photograph too, so that all
my friends may see how well | am
looking. Anyone who could see me
now after seaing me only a few weeks
ago would be convinced that Tanlac
must be a really wonderful medicine. ~
