GEORGE A. SCHOFIELD 
Sketch of the Man Who Invaded the Repub- 
lican Ranks and Outflanked Ail 
George A. Schofield who is the new 
Senator from this district, was born 
in Ipswich, Mass., 42 years ago. He 
was left an orphan at the age of one 
year, his father, who was a member of 
Co. A, First Massachusetts Heavy 
Artillery, being mortally wounded at 
the battle of Petersburg. Compelled 
by force of circumstances to help gain 
his livelihood at an early age, he 
worked early and late to earn enough 
to enable him to finish his course in 
the high school, from which he gradu- 
ated with honor at the age of 18. 
After 10 years at the hairdressing 
business he purchased the Ipswich 
Chronicle in 1891, and since that time 
he has conducted the publishing and 
job printing business. He is a mem- 
ber. of the K. of P., Red Men and 
Elks. 
His ability, honesty and integrity 
were early recognized by the people 
of his native town, and in 1892 he 
was elected on the board of selectmen, 
assessor and the overseer of the poor. 
He served on these boards two years 
and was then appointed postmaster 
of Ipswich by President Cleveland. 
While serving as postmaster, he was 
again elected by the people of Ipswich 
as selectmen, assessor and overseer in 
1897, and has served as chairman of 
these three boards up to the present 
time. He has also filled important 
position on town committees and in 
several enterprizes, and in addition to 
the duties of these and his newspaper 
business, he has for the last four years 
been elected as a member of the 
House of Representatives from the 
district comprising Newburyport, New- 
bury, Rowley and Ipswich. 
Although a Democrat in politics, 
his independence, and the fact that he 
always votes for what he believes to 
be right, regardless of party, has 
gained for him the support of hun- 
dreds of Republicans, and although 
the district is over two to one Repub- 
lican, Mr. Schofield has been elected 
year after year. The same honesty, 
ability, and courage which won for 
him the support of his townspeople 
made him. a general favorite in the 
legislature and he has won a reputa- 
tion throughout the state as an honest, 
sincere legislator who knows the 
wants of the masses and who is ever 
ready to defend their cause with both 
voice and vote.

Vv First, from a purely artistic standpoint they are 
of pretty. They are the work of a furniture designer 
7 that has taste and a correct idea as to proportions and 
W outlines, and then they are as yet only made by fac- 
WV tories that build the better class of goods, hence, you 
\/ get beauty and quality combined. Now when you 
\f purchase a piece of furniture with these two virtues, 
(iy you get all you can possibly obtain in a piece of furni- 
7 ture, and when such a piece is located in your home

Y) Is a pleasing investment. Take for example this one

. it has a swell front, shapely legs and bird claw feet, 
V two closets with doors of mortised frames, a _ linen 
Wd drawer that is all varnished within and glistens like 
Qf a mirror, one drawer for boxed silver finished the 
ff same way, velvet lined drawer partitioned convenient- 
‘Y) ly, an imported French pattern plate mirror, and a 
7 pretty shelf o’ertopping the whole; finished in the 
most pleasing of treatments to oak—the wax finish.
