Gus CarneS
We could scarce realize the mes
sage could be true when word came
that big stout Gus Carnes had gone
from life to eternity. In spite Of
what we wanted to believe, the life
less form was brought back home
back where he had spent most of
his life as Golfers son, coal
miner, farm hand, paper hanger,
painter, school teacher, merchant,
justice of the peace, neighbor,
friend. Gus had his faults same as
you and l. When they were bal
anced in the minds of neighbors and
friends, it was found that Gus
Carnes' living had not been appre-
ciated. But why go on? In this
case as in all similar ones, the ones
who found the most fault were folks
who would not want to have their
life's history printed and posted in
public places, for passersby to read.
Gus Carnes was school teacher
who taught as will be evidenced by
many who were pupils in his

perience and is your assurance of perfect customer satisfaction.
 That's why-"Every Minute of the Day Somebody Buys a General Electric Refrigerator"I
 MT. Stacy cintinued "a General Electric costs 50 much less to own and can be paid for so easily out of its own savings that every home can afford 8 GE-and enjoy the finest refrigeration service money can buy. Meats, milk, fruits and vegetables stay fresh and whole some for days in the clean, con- stant cold of General Electric and you save money in three ways: First-elimination of floor spoilage and the safe preservation of left overs. Second-buying perishable foods in larger quantities at the lower prices. Third-lower cost for 12 months than you pay for old fashioned refrigeration during six months.
 A G-E Regriferator will prove the best investment you ever made -and 1t will actually pay for itself in savings afforded through its low cost operation, in leftovers and in the Quantity-purchase of food Then, after 1t has actually paid for itself, 1t will pay you savings divi- dends, month after month for years and years to come.
 Owners Proud
 Consult any one of almost 200 0000 General Electric users and you'll find them proud of their invest ment-proud of their G-E pur- chase.
 Most of thes proud owners bought their G-E on the easy payment plan-a minimum down payment and a small amount each month. And you can do the same. These owners have found that the savings made with a G-E Refrigerator more than meet the month pay ments.
 All of these people could have bought a Slightly cheaper" refrig- orator .. but they looked years ahead and invested in 8 General Electric. And remember this, they have only bought once!
 Mir. Stacy invites you to visit Modern Home Utilities, Inc, show room at 115 Grand street., (Buck- ingham building) and see the matchless G-E sealed-in-steel mec- hanism. He reminds your that 1t is your assurance of worlds lowest cost refrigeration.

FRAUD ALLEGED
 IN SUIT FILED
AnsOnia Woman Alleges Landlord Took Advan-
 tage of Her IIIiteracy

Claiming that her landlord and his wife took advantage of the illit- eracy of her husband and herself while her husband was alive, and then defrauded her amter his death, Mrs. Esther Potoczny of Ansonia today filed suit in superior court against Peter and Pearl Cherninsky, also of Ansonia. She asks an item- ized bill of debts incurred by her husband, an accounting of insurance funds, and seeks damages of 5000.
 h the complaint, drawn by Att torney Jacob Bellin, the widow states that her husband, Frank Potoczny died November IT, 1885. He and she were tenants in the Cherninsky's building and made purchases at a grocery and meat store which they owned and also at a liquor store which they operated, using their credit often in making purchases. The defendants, she charges, trl- fluenced her husband before his death to turn over to them an in- surance policy worth $2,736. After his death, she claims, they had her give them the proceeds of smother policy, for $500.
 MT. and Mrs. Cherninsky were, she alleges. to pay a funeral bill of 5313 for her and to take out a debt of $500 they claimed owed them by her husband, and give her the diff ference. She charges that the de- fendants employed fraud in hand- ling the insurance money. She seeks an accounting of the $4,236, as well as an itemized bill of her late hus- bands indebtedness to them, and the damages.
