USINGER'S UTTERANCES. 



Charles E. Nelson, of Wollsville, 0., 

 is an active member of tlio Chamber 

 of Commerce, which has a motto, "Wel- 

 fare of Wellsville." Mr. Nelson is do- 

 ing his share by makinjr attractive dis- 

 plays of flowers and by showing that 

 flowers ])lay an active part in the wel-

Joseph Haube, of Charleroi, Pa., still

 tinuance of good business the well 

 known smile is not likely to come off. 



W. Grant Kintigh, of Irwin, Pa., said 

 he was looking forward to a most suc-

W. W. Bortz, of Greensburg, Pa., had 

 a display of attractive baskets filled 

 witli artificial flowers, and these seemed 

 to meet with a ready sale. 



T. Malbranc, of Johnstown, Pa., had

 usual merit. 



The shortage of cars made it neces- 

 sary for Myer Bros., of Altoona, Pa., 

 to ])urcliase a motor truck to liaul coal

W. H. Brouse, of Tyrone, I'a., has sold

Adol{)h Engehnan, of Tyrone, re- 

 ports a most successful season, with
