314 Market street, which had been
occupied az a bakery by Mrs. Eliza

Even with all this floor space his
ever developing business was calling
for more room and finally the prop
erty East Third street was pur-
chased. Until 1912 Mr.. Lipnincott
was the whole firm. but at that time
he took William c. Murgatroyd. his
son-in-law, into a company. which
was incorporated. with Mr.. Lippin-
colt as president and Mr.. Murgatroyd
as vice-president and treasurer.
Until illness forced him TO drop
the reins OF active business. he could
be seen almost any day in some part
OF the store. always taking an ac-
tive interest in everything that was
going on and in the welfare OF his
employees. Until a few years ago his
age rested lightly upon his shoulders
and he was just as active and ener-
getic as a man many years his jun

which is considered an ideal place.
It comprises SO acres which extend
over one OF the highest points in
Delaware. and superb views for

part OF the house. The farm has
been devoted largely TO raising stock

with a mile track record OF 2.O7.
was reared. Mr.. Lippincott was fond
OF good horses but never once did
he wager a penny on a race. Mr..

about 20 years. He found much plea
sure for many years in driving a
| favorite horse from Centrevilie TO
Wilmington every morning and in
driving back home late in the day.
He also entered his fine horses for
several years at the Delaware State
Fair. His horse, Brooklyn Hal, was
entered on the grand circuit
Mr.. Lippincott was twice married.
He is survived by his wife. who prior
