Do You Remember the Old
Wooden Counters

in your local meat market called butcher shop?"
Do you remember the old racks on the wall with iron
hooks in them to hang the sides and quarters of meat
on? Do you remember the old wagon that hauled the
meat in from where they killed covered with some
old that against the fresh meat today and
tomorrow and every day and was never washed? Do
you know what happens to film Of juice from piece
of fresh meat when it gets two three days old? Do
you know what kind of mess it becomes when fresh
film of those fresh juices added the and the
meat hooks every day for weeks in hot weather? Do
you remember that flies used to get the inside of
the old-time butcher shop? Did you ever see them
sitting the hooks and the scales and the old
wooden counter. Do you know what condition the
wooden counter got into with fresh fluids getting
on it each day and being merely wiped off, but not
cleaned? Then they got to using olcoth on the
counter because wiped off better Then they got to
wiping off the meat hooks, but never really cleansed
them by scalding. Then they got making the screen
doors tight it was hard for the flies to get in as it
was to get Then they discarded the old tin spring
scales which they threw the meat on and it gged up
and down till the butcher grabbed it off before YOU
could see what it did weigh and he called the weight
than it was.
They don't do that way in modern markets now,
and the customers and the market do suffer the dis
appointments and losses they once did. The children
can 60 and buy meat and come home with real eatablc
meat

FIVE FAMILIES HOMELESS
BY EARLY SUNDAY night FIRE
THREE PROPERTIES BURNED IN
ALLEY IN REAR OF N. F. WILDS
Fire Bell Cable Broke While Ringing
Bell But Firemen Respond and
Did Effective Work

Smyrna had fire Sunday night
that brought out a large crowd just
as the evening church bells were ring
ing. The fire broke out aboue seven
o'clock in the rear of the residence of
Frank Foraker on Cummins street,
little alley between Commerce and
South streets, extending from Della
ware in an easternly direction. In
small space of time three properties
were ablaze-namely the residence of
Frank Foraker, Mrs. Simon Killen a1d
William White. The Foraker and
Killen residences are owned by Sam
uel P. Wright, of Philadelphia, and
the White residence by John P. Hud-
son, of Smyrna The damage will fig
ure about $780, When the cry of
fire was given an attempt was made
to ring the fire bell, but the cable
broke with two or three taps of the
bell and the pubic's only notice was
the frightful blaze and the passing of
the word by person and by telephone.
The fire company was slow in getting
to the fire but did eMective work when
they got there. For time the blaze
looked formidable and being directly
back of the N. F. Wilds residence, it
seemed as though it was going to
spread to some of Smyrna's finest
residences on South street, but fortu-
nately the wind was not strong and
rather favored the. residence section.
most of the household goods were got
ten ourbefore the firemen got there an0
as far as the tenants were concerned
most of their furniture was saved
Dave Ross, who recently moved into
the Frank Foraker residence and ex-
pected to move into another residence
in few days, was probably the worst
damaged as he lost most all his furni.
ture. Mrs. Wesley Evans also occu
pied a portion of the White residence
making five families in the three
residences. The Frank Foraker prop
erty was completely gutted but th'
other properties were not so badl!
damaged that some rooms at leas
could be made habitable. Monday tn,
Killens and Whites took up temporar,
quarters again, or until they coul'
find another residence. At the heigh
of the fire there was a strong pressur
of water, so strong that it requires
six men to handle the hose. TIL
streams from two hose lines We're di
rected and though the firemen tough
in mud and water and at times expos
} ed to the cold night air, they kept tn
flames from spreading and saved
fearful confagration. The resident
who were made homeless We're take
care of over the night. Just how tn
fire occurred can not be learned. 1t
: known it started on the second foo
: in the rear of Frank Foraker's res
