CLASSIFIED AID TALK.

The Herald is carrying on the average of over 300 classified ads every day, there is reason for this growth, which can be divided rough ly into two parts, results and prompt and courteous service. Some of the ads, the majority bring direct results, others take their place in a business service directory, sometimes acting as a reminder and other times acting as a guide to prompt and quick results to persons who want something in hurry.
 We are making friends, and making them fast, and we recommend that if you are considering usiig our classi- fled columns to ask persons who have or are using an ad.
 Over 5000 Heralds are sold daily, (our circulated is audited), and these papers. mind you, go into the homes. Where on earth could you get over 5000 copies of a classified ad printed and distributed for the price?

BOWERS BEACH

The house and home of Charles II
Prettyman on Canal street, along tn,
bank of the Murderlzill River, was dis.
covered to be on fire on Friday night
about 8 o'clock, of last week
The alarm was given and the fire com
pang quickly responded and subdued
the fire before it got under headway.
The greater part of the building was
saved and the greater part of the con-
tents in the house were also saved.
Charley Prettyman is well known here
and is long remembered as being around
this place, having lived here almost con-
tinuously for nearly forty-nine years. He
is a cripple and has lived recluse and
alone where his home was partly de-
stroyed for about thirty years. He has
not been able to do much work for the
last several years, but has devoted his
time in collecting up old junk and selling
it from which he has eked out a living.
He is now in his eighteith year of life,
and will now seek some institution or
home to spend the remainder of his days.
The fire company demonstrated their
worth and efficiency in the manner in
which they did the work of subdueing
the fire and they deserve the commenda-
ton Of the property owners in town and
had they not applied themselves as they
did and in the quick response, the whole
stretch of cottages and lighthouses and
motorboats would in all probability have
been reduced to ashes. We must in JUS
tice congratulate and thank the following,
Herman Thomas, John Tribbitt, |
James Banks, George Flack, Atwood |
Garrison, Harry Young, for their heroic !
work and their knowledge in handling |
the fire engine. in saving the property |
n which the fire started las well as the
)ther property that was in imminent
ianger The whole affair will surely have
l tendency with the public and espec-
ally owners of property to assist the
needed equipments.
