TODD'S FURNITURE
PROGRESS IS FAST

The story of Todd Furniture
company, 81 S. Front street, is the
story of steady growth which be-
gan when the store was founded
in 1929 by Leon M. Todd, present
owner and manager.
In 1929, the company had three
employees and stock made up on
ly of furniture, ranges and stoves.
Today, there are 20 employees and
the stock includes nationally ad-
vertised furniture lines, radios,
washing machines, rugs. baby car
riages and other household items.
Arpil l, 1889, the company pur-
chased the building on the site now
occupied by the Todd Furniture
company. A new, brick building
was constructed in order to fulfil
the need of more space to house
an increasing stock of fine furni-
ture.
In 1912 the company felt the
need for even more space than the
two story building afforded. A
three-story extension and third
floor was added, increasing the
floor space by more than 10000
square feet.
Today Todd employees number
20 people. An automatic elevator
transports customers from one
floor to another, and each floor is
carpeted.
The Main Item
But the main item in this story
is the furniture carried by Todd's.
The company now features furni.
ture made in North Carolina
known as Drexel, Continental anc
White. Drexel furniture is confin-
ed to the living and bedroom furni.
ture, Continental is exclusively
,, bedroom furniture and White
furniture includes bedroom, dining
room and living room furniture
All three are nationally advertis
ed brands OF furniture.

Veterans Back To School

Veterans Back To School
Poolesville High School is very
proud this year as it has three
veterans back to school, Charles
Flynn, Wellstood Upton, and Sam
uel Belcher.
The youngest veteran is Charles
Youngest veteran is Charles
Flynn who was in the Navy.
Charles, first went to cambridge,
where he took his boot training
for two and one-half months, and
Radio School for five months.
From there, he went to California
for one month, waiting to go over
seas. Leaving California he was
sent to the Philippines, serving
first at Samar for four and one
half months and then to Tababoo
for two and one half months.
Back to California came Charlie,
landing at Treasure Island. For
five months, he was aboard the
u. S. S. P. C. S. 1891 along the
coast. From California, Charlie
returned to cambridge for his
discharge. Lucky boy, wasn't he?
Another veteran is Wellstood
Upton. Very little information
was secured from Wellstood, but
from his sister, we found out the
most important of it. Wellstood
toured part OF Switzerland and
spent time in England while on
leave. He was in Germany for a
good while and travelled through
France and England. Wellstood
served two years in the Army.
When asked where he had been
and how he had travelled, his
reply was. II got on one of those
things, and went to one of those
places"
The third veteran is Samuel
Belcher, better known as "Pete. !"
He was first sent to Camp Meade.
From Meade, Pete went to Fort
Dix and Fort Kilma. He was then
shipped to England which took
nine days on water. Then he was
at South Hampton and set up a
camp which was named Davenport.
Later he took a train to Wales.
Pete spent two years, eleven
months and fourteen days in the
Army.
We, the students of Poolesville
High, are very proud to have
these boys back with us, and hope
that in the near future we will
have more returning to our school.
