_ NORWALK GAZETTE. ‘
uesday July 24, 1888.
—..._.,
Oflice of the Norman: GAZETTE,
Jun! 24m, 1883.
To the Friends and Patrons of the old GAZETTE:
The remarkable growth and development
of the town of Norwalk and its environs
in recent years, and thc enhancement and
multiplication of its varied commercial
and social relations, convince the present
proprietors of the GAZETTE that there is
need of and abundant material for a
newspaper of more frequent issue than
once a week, to mirror its daily life,
present its local news, and best promote
its substantial interests.
Our own judgment In this particular,
we know to be shared by many of the
warmest friends and most liberal patrons
of our paper, who have repeatedly urged
us to issue more than a single edition per
week, of the GAZETTE. We therefore
take this mode of announcing that we
shall commence on Saturday, August 4th.,
to issue a Semi-Weekly edition of the
GAZETTE and continue its publication
every Saturday thereafter.
The Semi-Weekly will be a paper
distinct and apart from the regular weekly
edition. It will be Ii thirty-two column
paper, printed on a sheet 27x40, and con-
tain all the local news and a fair amount
of miscellaneous selections, and always
one or more entertaining stories. It will
be served to subscribers at ONI DOLLAR
per year, single copies three cents.
We knew that large numbers of our
subscribers to the weekly GAzETTE will
welcome this new claimant to their favor,
and we hope that all on our exceptionally -
large subscription list, will at least give
the Semi» Weekly GAZETTE a trial, as, in
addition to their present weekly visitant,~
we are confident it will be found an
agreeable and advantageous adjunct.
The weekly and semi-weekly will be
mailed and partrrgc prepaid by m, for
three dollars pér year.
OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO AD-
VERTISERS! '
Two monssxn copies of the Semi-
Weelcly GAZETTE will be issued Saturday,
August 4th. Advertisements of half a
square, (halfinch of space) will be inser-
ted once for 50 cents, three times for 31“»
One square, (one inch space) one time
$1.00, and 25 cents per week thereafter.
One column one year $100.

A New Hotel Building Wanted.
One of old Norwalk’s greatest local
needs is a new hotel building, judiciously
located and constructed, with such mod-
ern comforts and conveniences as the
average traveler or boarder is in these later
days accustomed to and sure to demand.
Not less than a score of persons desiring
to pass the summer here have asked the
writer how it is that our beautiful and
otherwise enterprising Borough, has no
modernhOstlery where families can be
entertained, as they can be at forty less
populous or attractive places in other
parts Of Connecticut. We believe no
wiser investment could be made by our
business men and enterprising citizens,
who wouldlpromote {the general welfare
‘of the borough, than to forma joint stock
company and erectla new and modern
hotel here, even though "never a dollar
should return to them in dividends.
There are three very eligible sites for
a first class hotel. One is the old Mott
property. Mr. Bishop its owner, has re-
peatedly offered it for the purpose and
expressed a willingness to take its value
in the stock of a duly organized hotel
corporation. Another, is the beautiful
Morgan lot on the Green. This would
makeamost charming site for a hotel,
specially designed for a summer house.
Its grove and brook and ample grounds,
and ease Of drainage down into the bar-
bor, offer extraordinary facilities. but it
would not be as available for a general
commercial hostlery as one located nearer
the business centre of the borough. An-
other location‘much talked about, is the
Mrs. Samuel Lynes place. This has am-
ple room for a large hotel on the front
line, room for a stable in the rear, with
exits on Water street. ls close to the de-
pot, post office and business centre of the
’borough, and its chance for drainage into
the harbor unequalled, and is undonbted~
ly, all things considered. the most eligi-
ble location for a first class bogelih the
borough, but whether it can now be se- 3
cured upon satisfactory terms is problem-
atical.
building should be erected and finished in
time for next year’s occupancy. Will not
our “Board of Trade” duly consider and
take some action on this important sub-
ject?
m
The ‘Way to links Norwalk Popular and Pros-
porous.
Let all of our citizens cultivate a feeling '
of supreme selfishness; refuse to buy'of
or patronize a fellow townsman. Go to
New York in the steamboat, and make
all your purchases and pay cash for all
you buy there, but everything you are
compelled to get at home have charged,
and delay paying your butcher, your
baker, your dry goods man. your shoe-
maker, shop man and mechanic just as
long as you possibly can.
If the above system does not succeed
in making the business of Norwalk thrifty
and prosperous, and does not enhance the
value of your own, and your neighbors’
property, then try what virtue there is in
backbiting, slandering and vilifying your
neighbors. Meantime, be sure to sulk and
ooze like an oyster in the creek mad, with
mouth open to suck in all passing nutri
meat, but to shut again as soon as seized
so that no good thing shall pass by you to .
another, and you may depend upon it,
you can thus make Norwalk as dead a
. place to live in and to do business in. and
your property interests as valueless, as
the sourest curmudgeon could desire.
Not This Place ; Some Other Place.
Under the head of “Fairficld County
News" a number of State papers during
the past week have published an account
of an eiopemcnt and consequent betrayal
of Miss Ida Boynton, aged 14, a Norwalk
school girl, with a travélling cough-cure
man. For the benefit of the papers which
have given our town such questionable
advertisement we will state that the
clopement occurred in Norwalk, Ohio, and
not in Connecticut.
110 For Coil!
A “boom" is being engineered by a
prominent Fairfield County democrat to
make the genial Gen. Coit Sergeant-at
Arms of the nexIU. S. House of Repre-
sentatives. The next democratic house
might. and very likely will, do much
worse.
New Iron Steamboat Company Directors.
James D. Smith of Stamford, and
W. E. Connor have resigned from the di-
rectory ot the Iron Steamboat Company,
and A.W. Culver and Erastus Winans have
teen elected in their places.

Of course it must. It must go right,

The Parallels.
The rival parallel railroads are making
progress very slowly. The Commission-
ers met at Bridgeport last Friday and from
thence inspected the entire lay out of the
Hartford d: Harlem between Bridgeport
and Norwalk. Reaching Norwalk, the
entire route will have been inspected and
considered, save that through the city of
New Haven. Large numbers of property
owners there have yet to be heard, and as
the line cuts through valuable private
property, and interferes with water and
gas pipes, sewers, etc,, there will be a se-
vere contest. The hearing is named for
July 81, and is to cover three days. Mean
time the commissioners will hearkcn to ap-
peals from the Olmstead or New York,
Connecticut and Eastern, and they will be
in Bridgport July 25 for that purpose’.

Another Beautiful and Remarkable Old Age.
We last week alluded in the GAZETTE
to the remarkable mental and physical
vigor of the venerable Mrs. John Sammie,
now in her 95th year, who goes about as
sprightly as a girl in her teens. 0n Thurs-
day we were called upon by Landlord
Ressequie, who for near four generations
has been the proprietor of the Ridgefield
Hotel, always bearing his name. Mr. R.
is now in his 93d year, is hale and hearty
and travels about unattended as inclina-
tion leads him. He boards the cars with
a step as elastic as fifty years ago when
we first knew him as a middle aged man.
The old gentleman told us with apparent
delight of his visit to the GAZETTE oflice
some eighty years ago and there seeing the
first type and printing press that his eyes
ever beheld. There seems neither any
mental or but little physical decay in Mr.
not tarry among us at least another decade.

Another Novel Race.
Commodore Fred Hughes of New York,
has matched his new catamaran, the
Cyclone, against a horse and bicycle for a
race from New York to Stony Creek.
The Cyclone will be launched in ten
days. She differs from the boat in the
first'rsce, the Jessie, having a keel instead
of a centerboard for outside sailing, and
the commodore will go to Bermuda in he, -
next fall. The horse is Boston, the same
animal which was recently beaten by the
Jessie, and the bicyclist isa Hartford man.
The match is a swaepstakes, cachparty
putting up $500. Commodore Hughes
says there are about four days in the week
when the wind will allow the catamaran
to beat either the horse or the bicycle, and
he willingly takes the chances. He is
more afraid of the bicyclist than the horse.
as the machine can be pushed up bill as fast
as the horse can walk, and go down five
times faster than it can trot.

Not “Seymour” At All.
Some of the wags abouttown have been
teasing our friend Seymour Curtis, and
expressing their pretended belief that be
was the Iron Steamboat agent referred to
‘in these columns last week as having
more beer in his stomach than braihs in'
his head. Of course everybody knows that
“Seymour” isno such person. His think-
ing powers could not be improved by
scooping out his skull and filling it with
beer. Next to his' cold water principles,
and practices is his faithful and sensible
attention to the duties of his position.
The new steamboat company made “ten
strikes" when they secured as agents Cur-
tis and Secor at the bridge and Wilcox at
South Norwalk.
Serious Complaint.
The temperance people who went on
the picnic to High Rock last Thursday,
make serious complaints against the Con-
solidated Railroad, for giving them but
four care, when they had contracted to
have six at the South Norwalk depot and
in making them wait nearly two hours on
their return at Bridgeport,while two pass-
enger trains passed westward. and finally
hauling them down here at the tail end
of a freight train. As they tell the story,
the railroad seems to :have treated these
six hundred excursionists rather shabbily,
but the railroad’s story of tbeir_side of the
case is now in order.
The New Drawbridge.
Work on the new bridge across the
harbor is now progressing with reasonable
celerity. The old piles now being drawn
up out of the mud are as bright and sound '
apparently as when first driven down. A
competent judge assures us that had their
soundness been known, the bridge could
have been substantially ,reconstructed for
four or five thousand dollars instead of
nearly thirty as voted. It certainly seems
as though at least two thirds of the appro-
priation might have been saved tO our al-
ready too heavily burdened tax-payers,but
who, if anybody, is at fault, no one seems
to know. ' -
, A'Just Judgment.
We are glad to observe that the judge has
awarded our old friend Charles L. Rock-
well, his claim for settlement of the large
and complicated. Guy estate, He had to
furnish bends'of 0100.000 and has had
several years of litigation and worry over
the large property and We do not know
any business man in the state capable Of
such a duty who would have been satis-
fied with less than ten thousand dollars
forsuch au'onerous service and yet our
friend Rockwell modestly asked for but
half that sum. The estate settled about
a quarter of a million, which was in large
part due to Rockwell's care and sagacity.
A Modest Cat Story.
The Bethel Ledger man, whose soul is
evidently past all redemption, shamelessly
makes public the subjoined little out sto-
ry: Conductor Brown of Danbury, recent-
ly carried'his prOmisiug tabby to Brook-
field where he sent her adrift, six miles
from home. A week or so afterward the
same cat made her appearance at Mr.
Brown’s house, and proudly introduced
her swarm of six kittens, apparently about
a week old, which she had carried, one at
a time for short distances, by the nap of
the neck, all the way from t‘e J unetion.
New Buildings.
Hyatt’s new East Avenue residence is
' receiving its slate roof.
Cbasmer's cottage is up and being side-
boardcd. _
Builder Platt has just completed his
, neat little barn in rear of the Barber cot-
tage, West Avenue. He has also conclu.
dcd a contract to put up a new house on
Elm street for W. E. Dana, and adjoin:
ing that now occupied by Comstock, the
Popular Clothier. Rumor says this house
is to be leased by Henry S. Bissell.
A Complicated Duty.
We saw one of our horse-car drivers
on Saturday, on duty with a baby in his
arms, the horse to guide, the brakes to
control, change to make, the fares to
watch Vapd pasleng‘c'rhito. pick up, and it
itnpi'essed us an beijlg about us compti

Telegraphcrs Strike.
The telegraphers of the U. S. havo been
on a very general strike the past week
and the great Western Union has been
very seriously crippled in its business op-
erations thereby. The public very gener-
ally sympathizc with the operators, but
their grievances have been very nnwisely
voiced by their committee.
The GAZETTE still cpntinnes to talk,
with an air of mystery, about that double

Work of the Flames.
An exciting report reached Norwalk
early on Wednesday morning. that the
great barns of Capt. Stephen Iont’s Sons
of New Canaan were again burned down.
The rumor proved erroneous as every one
will be glad to know and arose from the
fact that the large barn Of William Hoyt,
(a brother and neighbor of Hon. Oliver
Hoyt.) on Noroton Hill, had been con-
sumed that morning. A reporter'from
the GAZETTE visited the ruins and found
that not only had Mr. Hoyt’s principal
barn, containing sixty tons of hay and
much other valuable property, been en-
tirely consumed, bnt‘his extensive and
costly graperies adjoining had been de-
stroyed. His barn was very complete,
and cost in the neigborhood Of ten thou‘
sand dollars. The destruction of the large
hot-houses and varied stock of choicest
grapes, which were just in hearing, was
the severest loss of all. Mr. Hoyt was the
first to discover the flames from his bed-
room window, but too late to save any-
thing but his fine team of horses. The
Stamford fire department promptly re.-
sponded to a telephone alarm, but before
they could cover the long distance the de-
struction had been complete.
The grapcry was one of the four largest
of the Hoyt Brothers—the finest and most
extensive ones in Conncticut. Mr. Hoyt
on being interviewed, said :——"Thc fire
broke out at 3 o’clock in the morning, and
there was nothing to do but let it burn.
We were able to cut off and save about
two bushels from the vines while the rest
were being baked and scolded. The
grapery was 80 feet long and between 10
and 18 feet wide. The vines bore six va-
five to seven years to mature tlieir' like
again. The three graperies that escaped in-
cluded the one which developed the finest
fruit of all. Some bunches of Hamburgs
cut from it weighed . eight pounds each,
and there are-scores of Ehunches weighing
six pounds.” .
The GAZETTE’s reporter in going to Mr.
Hoyt’s chanced to pass the burning born
of Mr. Benjamin Fitch, Esq, of Darlen,
standing near the» roadside and oppo.
site Mr. Fitch’s summer residence at.No-
roton. This was an old barn and entirely
filled with hay, and it is supposed, must
have been burned in consequence of the
hay having. been put T inI uncured, and
which, heating in. the mow, had caused
spontaneous'combustion. ' The same the-
ory would equally as well apply to the de-
struction Of Mr. Hoyt's barn, though the
impression thereabonts was that it wasof
incendiary origin. ~ ’
:Fsirfield, owned-by Frederick Sturges
and occupied by W. C. Dickerson, station:
agent, took fire-early Tuesday morning
last, and was totally destroyed, with con-
tents, Loss, $1,200, about one-half of,
which was covered by insurance.

The Phalanx Picnic.
Golden Septemberhever voucbsafed a
Thursday, for the grand army of picnioers.
Very early in the morning the Temperance
people were astir fur their excursion up
the Naugatuck, and later, the hosts of the
Norwalk Phalanx were crowding the I).
& N. cars for Wilson's Point en route to
Baton for a day’s sport. Their banners
were hung on the outer wall of their ‘hall,
while “old glory” gaily floated from
their flag-staff, as did the old GAzETTE‘s
streamer, in honor of the’day and the
occasion. Au immense crowd of people
were at Roton throughout the day. and all
good-naturedly bent on having a jolly
good time, and as far as we could discern,
most of them fully realized their expec-
tations. The swimming match, tub race,
and fire works did not seem to be as
grand a success or half as popular as
Ackert’s marine chowders’, shore clam
roasts, and ice cold beers. The dancing
pavillion was crowded all day, and the
feet of the merry and perspiriug dancers
were hurried through many bewildering
figures. There were various games and
side shows to attract and entertain the
pleasure seekers. One novelty that pro-
voked uproarious pools of laughter, was
the blind masking of a victim, turning
him around quickly three times and then
starting him. off with a bit in his hand to
bore a. target, some dozen yards away.

Reports on the Tewksbury Almshoase.
BOSTON, July 20.—The legislative com-
mittee on public charities, which has been
for several months back investigating the
management of the Tewksbury almshOuse
reported to the legislature today. There
are two reports. ' The majority report
signed by seven members, pronounces all
the I’nain~ charges? Of; Governol' Butler
groundless and cruel and strongly con-
demns the Governor’s course in making
them public and endeavoring to cast dis-
honor upon the State before ascertaining
their groundlessuess. -. They also place on
record their stro'fig disapprobation of the
Governor's general conduct during the
investigation, particularly bislprofan-
ity, his vile insults to women and his char-
acterization of persons and institutions by
terms unfit for the ears of decent people.
The majority finally say: “We have ex-
amined the three thousand proofs of 'the
testimony in this case with solicitude to
be just, just to the management of the
Tewksbnry almshousc, just to his excel-
lency the Governor who made the charges
all, just to the commonwealth whose ser.
vanfs we are.” The minority .report is
signed by four members, all Democrats,
and reports that the Governor’s charges
are substantiated and ofiers various rec-
ommendations as to the future manage-
ment of the institution.

A boroughite came rushing into the
GAZETTE office, all out of breath, Satur-
day morning, to inform us that Mr.

should be, for our mortal lives are too

Multum In Psrvo.
The following sho‘rt editorial from the

mon sense as is often embraced in a whole
column: . -
Itis a matter of congratulation with
every lover of his country that the New
York Sun’s recent vile attack on the dead
president is almost universally condemned
by the press of the country. Only a. few
dishonorable sheets have revealed their
byena instincts in finding delight in dig-
ging up the remains ofthe late president
in order to exhibit their base natures.

The Short Route between New York and London. -
We have several times referred to the
contemplated new route and line Of fast
steel steamers, to run between the Eas-
tern end of Long Island and Milford Ha-
ven. There seems to be no end to the en-
terprise of our great capitalists. This
latest scheme for the imprOVeIncnts of
lines Of travel and of course making
money, is being engineered by a railroad
man whose interests lie chiefly in Long
Island. Austin Corbin proposes to build
all necessary piers and storehouscs at Fort
Pond Bay, at the eastern end of Long 15-
land which is said to be an excellent har-
bor for the largest vessels. From this
bays fleet of the fastest steamers, three
Of which are ordered, are to run to Mil-
ford Haven, in Wales—the trip to be per-
formed in about five days each way. The
passengers and mails will be carried by
rail from Montauk Roint to the Brooklyn
Bridge at the rate Of 40 miles an hour,
and from thence over into New York
without extra charge or change of cars.
On the English side the Great Western
lines of road attain a speed of about 60
miles an hour, so that passage from the
centre of London to the [centre Of New
York city will be accomplished in about
six days; and all the dangers of the fogs
and low, sandy beach of Long Island, the
Sandy Hook bar, the Lower Bay, and
New York Bay will be avoided. It is
calculated that passengers will save be-
tween One and two days by this route,
besides avoiding the dangers of running
aground and collisions in the bay. This
route will also be free from the bOndage ,
of a pilot monopoly.
”Over. Rivpr‘ School. '
“Quite a ubique hurl spirited special
school meeting was held at the School
House, last Friday evening, and Rev. Mr.
T. G. Osborn, was chosen chairman.
After organization (a motion to adjourn, _
made by E. J. Hill, was voted down.
Rev. Mr. Thomas moved to lay all busi-
'3ness'done On this table, which was also
voted down. Mr. Hill then Offered the
leldwif'I'g resolution :—.-
Resolved, That the Over River School
district having at its annual meeting elec-
ted its committee in the usual manner,
and without instructions, hereby expresses
its confidence in the discretion and judg-
ment of such committee. and requesls it to
act in regard to the employment Of teach-
ers in auch.a manner as shall seem to
them obe for the best interests of the
Jschoo .
'As-this was not what the meeting was
gotten up ‘to' enact, the resolution was
promptly voted down. The next surprise
. washs follows:—“ ~

Asa B. Woonwaun.
To the clerk of said district.
The next action was a vote offered by
Mr Hyatt as follows :—
Voted, That all previous action of this
meeting be reconsidered.
This vote was carried upon a pledge
made by Mr. Hyatt that he would [offer
the following vote :—
Voted, That the district employ Mr. H.
B. Wigham as principal,at the same sal
ary as last year.
This vote was overwhelmingly carried.
Voted, That this meeting adjourn.—
Which it excitedly and rapidly did.
The Board of Education upon an appli-
cation made in writing by three tax-payers
is designated by law as the authority to
create a new committee, but under the
above vote Mr. Wighsm is practically
Ereengaged, and will probably return here,
unless there should be another meeting of
the district convened, and such meeting
should vote otherwise.
The present meeting was specially en-
gineered by Mr. Oliver Clarke, out of
sympathy for Mr. Wigbam. This feeling
was found to be widely diffused. The
committee’s action in accepting Mr. W’s.
resignation, was without a doubt, honest-
ly and sincerely conceived as in the best
,interest of Mr. Wigham himself, and of
the school. -_Many of his best friends con-
sider it would be a- great mistake for him
to come back to the school. as his position
would now be made most uncomfortable,
and his influence greatly impaired. It is
urged as a significant fact that while the
enumeration of scholars in this district'is
640, the average attendance the past year
has been but 185.

The Crops of New England.
The New England Homestead of the
20th of July states that a summary of its .
correspondence shows that the work of
haying throughout New England has been
much delayed by frequent showers, which
however, have not been sufficient to in—
jure the growing crops, which never were
better at this season. Eastern Connecti-
I out, especially some portions Of Windham
E County. is an exception, pasturage and
i the growing crops there being in want of
rain. More than an average rye crop is
E being harvested. Tobacco in the Con-
E necticut and Housatonic valleys promises E
remarkably well,and corn and potatoes i
promise a heavy yield in all the New
England States. Early potatoes are turn-
ing out well, and sell at 90 cents to $1.25
abushel, and other early products are
giving' heavy returns. Berries and
fruits are more profitable than in
average seasons. The peach crop
promises well in Southern New hgland,
but apples have largely fallen from the
trees and the crop will be small. July .
pasturage has not been better for years,
and there is consequently a large flow Of
milk, and acontinucd depression in the
market for dairy products.

man, rising, “go thy way—-" “The

pious rebuker, and walking out of the as-

OBITIUA RY.
MRS onanrlss E. sr. JOHN. ,
With startling suddennesr, the painful
news of the death of this estimable lady
spread through our town on Sunday last.
She had been a sufferer from gastric dis-
ease fora long'time. but' her symptoms
have not been deemed critical uutjl within
a very recent period, and not blarming
until a short time before her peaceful
passing away. Our native residents, in
middle life, will remember her as the
youngest daughter of the late Charles
Sherry. Esq, and sea girl oflexuberent,
generous and vivacious spirit, and Of un-
usual physical good health. She sought
but to those winning her confidence, she
was most ardently attached. 'As daugh-
ter, sister, wife and mother, she was best
beloved by those who knew her best, and
her memory will be sacredly cherished as
a bright light that has gone out and left in
unuttcrable darkness, a once bright and
happy home. '
A strikingly singular coincidence is again
repeated in the depth of Mrs. St. John.
Her father, her mother and her only
brother, died on Sunday and all were
buried, as Mrs. St. J. will be, on the fol-
lowing Thursday.
uas. Jsssra suatsox. .
As we write, the life of” this aged and
most estimable lady, is fast ebbing away,
and but a few hours at the most, it is be-
lieved, can intervene before she will have
exchanged this earthly life of sorrow and
suffering for the supernal felicities of
Heaveh. Her venerable husband and her
only child, Mr. Andrew Selleck, survive
and mourn her departure.
P. S.—-Mrs. Selleck died at 6:10 p. In.
yesterday. '
Cody’sLady's Book.
Some time since, when our townsman.
Jno. H. Haulenbeek. Isq., became the
proprietor of that old and wall-known
family Inagazinc—Godeyfs Lady’s Book—
he promised at the outset that as soon as
time would permit anumbI-r of much
needed improvements should be made,
and by the appearance (I! the July and
August numbers we should judge that he
had kept his promise. The magazine,
which has reached its 57th'QIirthday, may
be said to have be rejuvenated and the
change for the better is asonce noticeable.
A new cover and a larger stock of sioriea
and selected matter than usual, coupled
with the great quantity of dress pat-
terns and fashion notes, and its new and
larger type, make the magazine one of the
ueatest and at the same time render it in-
valuable to the women folks. No need
for a dressmukor with Godcy's around,
says one lady, and here Is the Opinion of
all who have seen it. The publisher's ad-
dress is 1000 Chestnut Street, Philadel-
phia, I’a., and all desires for further infor-
mation will be gratified by writing to

‘ (ducedinto thismarketa new thing
in the way of a SAWED SIIINGLE,
and shaved shingles.
I sold between two and three
millions of them. This lurgejsale
was due to the excellence of the
stock and the advan tagc given to
it by the process ofpluning. The
manufacturer—Oscar Faun—in
about three years, consumed his
timber and retired wealthy and
the patentee of the process has
for a your past: been looking in vain
for some one who made a shingle
good enough to be subjected to
the planing process, the tendency
in the stock. He has recently
placed his machinery in anew
mill and is now again supplying
me With an article of
PLANEO SHINOLE
fully as good in every respect as
the Oscar Fenn and, and he
warrants them just as thoroughly.
The first installment arrived July
6th and I invite an examination
of them and also request an ex-
amination Of the Lumber Shed
Roofs covered with Shingles
made three years ago by the same
process. I confidently recom-
mend them as the best substitute
for Rived Shingles, yet found.
The additional cost over the com-
mon shingle is but slight and is
more than covered by, the better
quality of _ stock.
Call and examine them.
