PREFACE 



For tlie illustrations which grace our 

 pages, I am indebted to S. Mendelsohn 

 Meehan, — who suggested this paper, 

 — and to Horace F, McCann — who 

 printed it. The faces which familiar- 

 ly greet us I have added to dignify 

 our work, for past and present they 

 represent the "stuff" which built our 

 town, — preserved it, — and now keep it, 

 — forever famous. Last, but not least, 

 I feel sure we all are pleased with the 

 appearance of our book, and to Erwin 

 W. Moyer, whose skill and good taste 

 reared upon a sub-stratum apparently 

 hopelessly unpromising a structure so 

 creditable, I wish to record my hear- 

 tiest thanks. E. C. J.
