To-day, Friday, Juno 14, is Flag Day. It is the 135th anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the flag of the United States. The American Flag Association calls up on the President, the Governor of each state, the mayors of cities, bur gesses of towns and the members of all patriotic associations and socie ties to celebrate the day by unfurling the Stars and Stripes. The public recognition of Flag Day as a National anniversary is be coming each year more general and since the struggle of 18C1-C5, the flag has become the symbol of a mighty nation. It has been carried to the utmost parts of the earth, carrying liberty wherever It has been thrown to the breeze. Tho Stars and Stripes, within the recent past, have come to possess new beauty for friendly eyes and new terror for the foes of liberty. Give honor to whom honor is due. Everybody wears new Industry. a smile it's a Who said tho Hoard of Trade Is not doing anything? Where is tho fellow who said "Show me what you are doing and then I'll join the noard of Trade."

A pro gressivo town with such public-spirit ed banks affords an ideal location for manufacturing enterprises. The rift In tho clouds has broken and prosperity's rays aro extending through and reaching out over a ter ritory that has long been darkened by uncertainties in tho Industrial world. Honesdalo has had its gloomy days and days of depression, but It has suffered no moro than other places and we aro informed not ns much as In some. Its wheels of In dustry often have been kept hum mlng night and day, turning out pro ducts that are extensively used from one coast to another and from Can The watch ada to the Gulf.

Many of the people of Honesdale during the last two or three years, felt that Honesdale was not progress ing Industrially and financially as rapidly as it should. Some of the industries in Honesdale were not working full time and tho Gurney Electric Elevator Works had so far outgrown the capacity of its manu facturlng plant, that it became neces sary that larger quarters should bo secured. While it was generally un derstood that the men financially In terested In this enterprise would not leave Honesdale, unless forced to do so by reason of a failure to secure a site upon which to erect a larger and more commodious works, suffi cient to carry on their rapidly In creasing business, the Greater 'Honesdale Board of Trade became deeply interested in the problem of trying to secure for this Industrial concern, a suitable location close enough to the town for the conveni ences of the operators and workmen, and upon some direct line of a rail road, and where water could be ob tained. All of these conditions were not easily found in the same location, and the Site Committee of the Board of Trade was obliged to do consider able prospecting in the suburbs of the town In order to secure a loca tion which would be desirable. Many places adjacent to the town were looked upon as being suitable, but upon more thorough Investiga tion, lacked some of the qualities necessary for the plant of the requir ed capacity. Finally, the lower por tion of tho Borough of iHonesdale, from the Lackawaxen River on both sides of Main street up to the Rup pert property below Fourth street was looked upon by all parties con cerned as the most desirable site to be found in the vicinity of Honesdale. Options were at once obtained and the entire plot consisting of nearly Ave acres was secured within a very short time, and one of the largest Industrial Institutions in this country was secured as a permanent estab lishment of the town. Now that the Gurney Electric Elevator Works have been located, It would seem Impossi ble that any other site should bo at any time looked for, as the place se cured has all tho essential qualifica tions and conditions necessary for tho carrying on of these extensive works. Every public-spirited citizen who has any interest In Honesdale what soever, ought to cheerfully subscribe for one or more of tho excellent bonds issued by this company. Aside from the banks' liberal amount thero is $30,000 for sale by a special com mittee appointed by the 'Board of Trade, which Investors can secure by making application to the members of the committee. Invest your money at homo where you can see It and watch it grow. The bonds are first mortgage upon the Gurney Elec tric Elevator Company's establish ment and bear live per cent, interest, payable semi-annually. When tho Hoard of Trade's bond committee waits upon you subscrlbo for some of tho Gurnoy Electric Elovator stock If you can possibly do so. It Is a gilt edgo investment. Outside of Honcsdalo's prominent citizens mentioned In tho write-up found elsewhere, thero nro a number of other equally ns prominent gen tlemen who have nlso worked hard to securo this largo Industry for tho Maple City. Among the number wero T. II. Clark, of tho T. IJ. Clark & Co.'s cut glass establishment, At torney F. P. Kimble, 'Burgess C. A. McCarty, tho officers of tho Board of Trade, and members of same. In fact we all work for Greater Hones dale. GURNEY ELECTRIC ELEVATOR COMPANY Tho 'Honesdale Board of Trade points with pride to tho fact that all the banks of Honesdale, four in all, joined in taking ?1 70,000 of these bonds, A progressive town with such public spirited banks af fords an ideal location for manu facturing enterprises. W. It. HOLMES. Vice-President of Gurney Elevator Co. Electric It Is expected that tho new plant will employ nearly 300 men In ad dition to the present shop now op erated at the foot of Eleventh street, Honesdale. Work on the grading and getting the ground in readiness for excavation will commence in a few days. The factory will employ men, very many of whom are skilled craftsmen and command correspond ingly high wages. When completed the plans and speciilcations of the new $250,000 factory will bo sent to tho dlTlce of tho Gurney company, Eleventh street, Honesdale, where they can be inspected by any contractors from Honesdale or surrounding towns and cities to secure bids on a part or all of the work. All will be given F. W. KltEITXKR, President Greater Honesdale Board of Trade. equal chances and Honesdale con tractors will be givon preference on an equal footing. It is Mr. Gurnoy's Intention to spend every dollar that is possible In Honesdnle, thus giving tho local men the privilege of keep ing flie money in town. Tho Honesdale Board of Trade committee workod hard to locate this big industry in Honesdale. They had to meet propositions and Induce ments made by tho cities of Bridge port. Conn., Peekskill-on-the-Hudson, Newlmrgh. and Poughkeopsle, N. Y. But they won and the victory and glory belongs to them.

Murray, the Board of Trade commit tee, empowered to use all means possible to secure this Industry. They wero on the job from morning till night making trips to New York, Rochester, Scranton, Carbondale and other plnces to secure signatures to get tho consent of owners of proper ties which the committee held op tions for the purchase of same. By keeping persistently at it and not allowing the grass to grow under neath their feet they won tho victory. To them the people of Honesdale owe a great debt for se curing this acquisition to tho town. Tho undertaking was a tolerably largo one but tho Board of Trade committee and tho banks wero equal to the omergencj. Great credit to the Board of Trade and Its hustling com mittee.
