Electricity Has Pushed Out Once

NEW YORK, December 25-Mod.
ern scientific inventions which have
spelled the ash heap for old-fashioned
,usages have sounded ~ death knall
for another once respected and pros
porous voCatiUn-bell hanging.
Like the makers of clipper ships,
hoopskirts and the sundry other de-
velopments of the past which have
come and gone struck down by the
march of progress and fashion, the
bell hanger of today-and his class Is
Il handful-is a man virtually without
q Job.
This city, which less than 80 years
ago required the constant attention of
hundreds of bell hangers, now finds
use for less than half a score. Elec-
trio doorbellS are blamed for the pass
ing of bell hanging artisans.
p. Werner, owner of a tiny West
Side shop, outside of which hangs the
same sign he placed there years ago
when he first opened for business, is
one of the few surviving members of
the rear guard of bell hangers. A
few ancient homes, clinging to relics
of the past, still claim his services
But electricity, he said, has ruined his
business
When Werner, then a young man,
first started hanging doorbellS the
trade was then in its heyday. Father
Knickerbocker, tired of thunderous
knockers then In vogue. demanded p
new method of announcement. and
bells-crerated by the pulling of a
lever outside, which set bells in the
home a-jingling came into being.
For brief few decades the jang-
ling bells were pre-eminent Bell
hangers were proud of their art. For
years their ingenious arrangements,
elaborate or simple, according to the
householder taste, announced the
visitor. Some even played music.
Then came electricity. The public
took ND the new wrinkle of science,
ana electric doorbells, operated by the
mere pushing of a button, rudely
ousted their clumsier predecessor.
What will be next?" soliloquized
Werner 1T don't know. Scientists
can do anything. Perhaps wireless
doorbells or telepathy?"
