OFFERS REWARD
FOR LOST SON
John Condry Missing Since
January Is

Observation-Disclosures Condry, of
2 Hancock street, has offered a
$500. reward for information lead
ing to the finding of his son, John
Condry who disappeared Tuesday
January 18th. The missing man is
% years of age, height feet and
II inches, has dark hair and eyes
and has a slight scar over his
right eye. On the evening of jan
uary 18th he left his home, saying
that he would return in a short
time. Since that time he has not
been seen or heard of in this vici-
nifty.
Because he was of quiet tenn
permanent and stayed at home most
of the time, grave fears are felt
that he has met with foul play. AL
tho careful search has been made
no word has been had of his where
abouts. He has as completely van
ished as if the earth had swallow
ed him.
When last seen he was wearing a
brown suit, gray overcoat, light
cap, tan shoes and overshoes. He
was formerly employed at the plant
of the New Jersey Rubber Co., but
had been unemployed before his
disappearance. Any information as
to his whereabouts will be welcomed
by his father, and if the informa.
tion leads to his discovery the re-
ward will be paid.

Denies Mann MI
Has Been Sold

mbertville-Rumors have been
going around to the effect that the
Hood Rubber Co. has bought the
plant of the William Mann Paper
Mill on South Main street. But this
has been emphatically denied by
Archibald Rhan, plant superinten-
dent.
Mr.. Rhan says that he was in
the Philadelphia offices of the Com
pany last Monday, and had reported
that there was a local rumor to the
effect that the plant had been sold,
but this was denied by Company of
fcials. Mr.. Rhan added that if such
a sale should take place ii is quite
evident that he would be informed
of the natter
Another report recently had it
that the old Jesperson Mill on South
Union street had been bought by a
Philadelphia brass manufacturing
concern. But efforts to confirm this
have been of no avail, for it is
generally denied. Lambertville seems
to be good breeding place for
rumors.
