BANKING INTEREST
The Scranton Monetary Institu
tions Conducted on a Sound and
Conservative Basis.
The banking Interests of Scranton
havo necessarily kept pace with the
other Institutions, and some of the
foremost establishment!? of the country
tiro today situated within Its limits.
Within the past few years the stock of
nil of the banks In Scranton has In
creased beyond the expectations of the
most 'anguine, nnd the effect of con
servative management Is recognized
everywhere as the corner-stone of the
success of the banking Institutions of
the "Electric City.".
The facilities of the city banks for
coping with financial emergencies have
been Increased by the organization of a
Clearing House association. The banks
iiml trust companies of the city effected
this organization on November 14, 1893,
and the scheme has been very satis
factory in accelerating business in the
matter of dally exchanges.
The Flist National bank of Scranton,

posit company is located at 401 Lacka
wanna avenue. This company was or
ganized In May, 18S7. Its capital stock
Is $200,000. A prominent feature of Us
business is that of Its safety deposit
vaults. These vaults are constructed
after the most modern improved plans
and are secured by every appliance
known that would be calculated to
defy the ravages of fire or resist the
attack of robbers or a mob, and they
may be said to bo absolutely fire and
burglar proof. The officers of the com
pany are: William T. Smith, president:
Henry J. Anderson, vice-president, and
John W. Fowler, treasurer.
Scranton Savings bank, 122 Wyoming
avenue, was organized In 18G7, Capi

ago, and has continued" to the present
time. The Jersey Central first extend
ed Its lines to this city In 1SSS. and since
that time lins enjoyed a large share of
the business that has been distributed
between the groat lines that have con
trolled the trade In years past. The
handsome station of the road which
appears In view at the western termin
us of the Lnckawnnna nvenue bridge,
la nmong the pleasing features of In
terest that nttract the eye of the vis
itor to the city, and In one of the
monuments to the prosperity of the
town. The Lehigh Valley raiimad ns
yet has no station In this city, but the
Interests of the great line are ably
represented by the courteous represen
tatives In charge of the ticket office
on Lackawanna avenue, nnd nt no dis
tant day It Is probable that a Lehigh
Valley railroad station will be among
the features of the city. The Pennsyl
vania railroad, which owns lands In
the city, at present has a terminus In
Wilkes-Barre, nnd without doubt will
In time extend lines to this city. The
Ontario and Western railroad has be
come an Important coal carrying line,
opening up the markets of the north
west, nnd nlo does a large traffic In
summer travel.
While the business of the railroads
leading to and from Scranton consists
largely In coal carrying business the
arrangements for the nccommndatlon
of passenger traffic are of the best.
The fast trains to New York and Phila
delphia and to the seashore and moun
tains, are equipped with the mont ele
gant rolling Ftock, and are provided
with all accessories for the comfort
and safety of patrons. Hlegant day
and sleeping palace conches nre at
tached to the trains, nnd the officials
are selected from the trusty and In
telligent railroad people of the north
ern tier.
REAL ESTATE INTERESTS.
RcmnrUnblo Growth of the Cit'
I. nnd Interests--Valuable Lot in
Iliisincss renter".
Nothing more emphatically illustrates
the progress and prosperity of Scranton
than the marvelous growth of the real
estate Interests of the city. It Is sel
dom that a typical mushroom western
town can boast of a more rapid ad
vance In property during the excite
ment of a proverbial boom than that
which has matked the real estate In
terests of Scranton during the past
few years. And the pleasing peculiari
ty about the advance of piopcrty in
this "city Is the fact that the advance
hna been continuous. There has been
no backward movement as Is usual In
cases of unprecedented booms. Many
Investors who two or threo years ago
paid what was considered exorbitant,
yea, even reckless prices for property,
could today sell out with profit. In
the advance which linn so many tlmcH
reached the "high wnter maik" there
seems to V nctunlly no limit. Judging
from past history It Is pafo to aver that
there Is scarcely a locality within the
city's limits where one mny not pur
I'h'aso property with reasonable expec
tations of a sufficient advancement to
make tho venture profitable In the end.
In nddltlon to the rapid advance of
real estate In the business centers, the
success of the suburban park schemes
has been astonishing. Handsomo
dwellings have been springing up on
these plots each year, lending value to
Weal: surroundings, with a rapidity
that Is seldom equalled outside of the
tales of Aladdan nnd his wonderful
lamp. As a consequence much capital
has been utilized In furthering the
real estate Interests and man brokers
make handsomo Incomes for their ser
vices In the big deals that are constant
ly being effected.
Scranton Is known as the city of
homes, and those who do not own n
home would do well to call at rooms
COS nnd C09 Mears' building, nnd see
the mnp of the Fairvlew Pnrk Land
company's addition to West Scranton
A largo number of the lots have been
mid, but there nre still many desirable
lots left. The lots are good size, with
alleys In the rear. Location- Is high,
so there Is the best of drainage. The
view is unsurprised. The location Is
but twenty minutes' walk from the
central city, with two lines of street
cars, one at each end of the plot.
The property Is nlo within a few
minutes' walk of the large steel mills
of the Lackawanna Iron nnd Steel
company nnd the silk nnd woolen
mlllfl nnd other large manufacturing
concerns of the South Ride. No restric
tions in the deeds. Two large new
srhnol houses nnd gas and wnter in
the plot. See advertisement In another
column.
Minn Robinson, ex-Mayor Fellows
nnd Horatio N. Patilck have pur
chased fifteen acres of land about the
Colonel Tripp residence, on North Main
avenue, nnd nre now plotting tho same

streets, putting In of gas, water and
sewers Is being pressfd ns rapidly an
possible, and If the weather permits
this woik will soon be completed. This
plot Ir high, dry, commands a grnnd
view of the city. Is on tho line of the
electric railway, nnd well worthy of
your Investigation.
The opening sale will take place on
Saturday, 4th of December, next, and
will afford a splendid opportunity for
st curing a home plot centrally located,
nnd where every lot will appreciate
rapidly In value, and yield sure re
turns to those desiring a good Investment.
largest mills In tho country nre found
In Scranton, and several others nre
soon to be located In this vicinity. The
silk Industry Is among tho most staple.
The mills are not usually affected to
any great extent by the fluctatlons In
trade that sometimes In an Insant par
nlyze an Importnnt enterprise nnd
throw Hundreds out of employment. No
matter what tho tempornry condition of
trade may be the mills spin merrily day
by dav like the worm In the cocoon,
preparing a stnple product that must
find "ready purchasers eventually. In
the Scranton mills tho art of spinning
has been brought to a state nearlng
perfection by the employment of thous
ands of dollars worth of tho most In
tricate machinery and the other acces
sories necessary In first-class work, nnd
tho alrv threads trom the nest of the
Industrious worm becomes a thing of
strength and beauty ns It gradunlly
grows on Its Journey over the various
spindles to the packing room. The
South Side has long been the homo of
the silk Industry and the mills havo
been a boon to mnny of the residents,
furnishing ns they have employment
for hundreds of young persons at good
wages. The silk enterprise has come
to stay without doubt nnd the Incrcaso
In the number of plants In this vici
nity will be hailed with delight by en
ergetic young workers who are ever
ready to better their condition by hon
est toll. Among the largest and most
nourishing silk mills In this section
may bo mentioned the Sanquolt Silk
Manufacturing company.
A PALATIAL HOTEL.
Tlic Silk Industry.
The Silk Industry, of Scranton. Is of
a magnitude that Is seldom appreciated
hi1 those not arqualnted with the var
ious manufacturing Interests of the
city. For many years the looms and
spindles have furnished employment
for hundreds of men and git Is, and
have been among the most constant of
Institutions of this region that furnish
means of support nnd steady occupa
tion for the ambitious. Some of the
Machinery anil Supplies.
The magnitude of the Interests de
voted to the manufacture of machinery
and supplies Is seldom appreciated by
one who has not given tho subject deep
study. With the facilities for cheap
fuel and rapid transportation, Scranton
has been able to successfully compete
with the world not only In tho crude
Iron Industries but In the manufacture
of lino machinery. A tour of the ware
houses of tho maclilno-ninnufacturtng
firms of this city would be a pleasing
revelation to many of our citizens.
These big store rooms contain lathes
and cutting machines of Intricate de
sign calculated to make easy and ac
curate the labors of the wood-worker
nnd machinist; mining and milling ap
pliances, pulleys, belting, shafting,
steam pumps, engines, and In fact
everything that could be needed In the
establishment of almost any manufac
turing Industry cither In city or coun
try, making It unnecessary for tho
manufacturer of Northeastern Penn
sylvania to proceed beyond Scranton
when In search of supplies of any de
scription. The list of machine manu
facturing firms of Scranton Includes
th'e Scranton Supply and Machinery
company. Finch Manufactuiing com
pany and C. H. Scott. These firms
through travelling salesmen furnish
large quantities of machinery not only
to firms In this vicinity but also to the
trade everywhere, and assist material
ly In making Scranton famous as a
manufacturing centre.
RAILROADS OF SCRANTON.
Vnlimilod Transportation Facilities
to All Parts ot the Compnss.
To the growth of a great municipal
ity like Scranton, railroad facilities
must of necessity constitute a valu
able aid. Without proper means of
transportation In every line of trade It
is Impossible for any city to make
marked progress in the development of
the enterprises that go to make up a
thriving and prosperous locality. With
the Increasing demands in this Impor
tant field of Inbor, the railroad enter
prises of the Middle States have kept
pace, and today Scranton is one of the
most favorable shipping points away
from tho Atlantic coast. Aside from
Philadelphia and Pittsburg, this city
1b probably the leading one In the
matter of industrial enterprses nnd
probably produces a greater variety of
staplo wares than any other. In re
ponse to the demands of trade, the
enterprise of railroad building has ex
tended lines in almost every direction
to and from Scranton, and the list
numbers some of the Important roads
of the world,
Tho importance of the tonnage of
Scranton has not been properly recog
nized by the great trunk lines of tho
country, but the railway facilities are
nevertheless excellent. The Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad
connects It with New York and Phila
delphia on tho cast, and with the west
ern cities through Us Buffalo exten
sion. Tho Bloomeburg branch con
nects with tho Pennsylvania system at
Northumberland, The Delaware and
Hudson links Scranton with the great
roads of New York and tho New Eng
land states, and also affords an outlet
south via tho Lehigh Valley road. The
Erie and Wyoming connects with the
main line of the Erlo at Hawley and
also forms another southern outlet to
Wllkes-Barre. The lino of the New
York, Susquehanna and Western Is
Gradually creeping towards Scranton,
and the road promises to become a
formidable rival to the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western In the near
future.
One of the Important transportation
lines of Scranton Is tho Central Rail
road of New Jersey. It was among
the enrly roads to come In for a share
of the trnfllo which followed the era of
proya-ilty which began a dozen years

POST-OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
I'.lrgnnt Appointment nnd Mncnlfi
cent Service ill" the JermynUnsur
ptisfcml In PennT'vnnln.
There Is probably no one institution
In Scranton that exerts a more favor
ablo Influence In making the city fa
mous as tho home of progress than
tho magnificent Hotel Jermyn, which
adorns the corner of Wyoming avenue
nnd Spruce street. This spacious house
of entertainment, which Is almost with
out a peer In the Rtate, Is named for
the owner and builder, Mr. John Jer
myn, tho well known coal operator,
whose ambition to supply Scranton
with one of the finest hotels of modern
times seems to have been realized In
the tmnoslng edifice which stands as
a monument to his energy and enter
prise. Hotel Jermyn, ns It stand3 today,
represents nn Investment of $1,000,000.
It Is seven stories high, contains two
hundred and fifty rooms, Is built en
tirely of stone, brick and Iron, and Is
absolutely fire-proof. Located In tho
heart of tho city, It Is accessible to
all points, ns the trolley cans pass the
door, and a luxurious bus line con
nects the building with all trains .that
nirlvo at or leave the city, night or
day. In the matter of Interior ap
pointments and furnishings, the scheme
of elegance Indicated in tho building
proper hns been fully carried out. Tho
main office on Spruce street, which
may also be entered from Wyoming
avenue. Is of the Ideal design, with Ita
luxurious leather furniture nnd hand
somo office fixtures. In which mahog
any, plate glass and polished brass are
arranged In n manner to please the
eye, and Is In charge of a corps of
courteous attendants, who constantly
look nfter the welfare of the guests.
Connected with this floor are th In
dies' reception rooms, which may la
entered by private hallway on Spruce
street, public writing rooms, check
rooms, telegraph office, long distance
telephone, barber shop, news anil
cigar stands, etc., nnd from this the
grand "tnlrway and elevator lead to
the apartments above.
The mo3t Important feature of a ho
tel In these days of gastronomlcnl cul
ture, Is the dining room. The patron
of the modern hotel Is no longer con
tent with food cooked in an Indifferent
manner and thrown carelessly upon the
table nt meal time. Tho Bfrvlces of
the skilled chef are therefore In de
mand at first-class hotels, and his In
genuity Is taxed to prepare toothsome
and healthful dishes to set before tho
guest, while the dining room tables
nre resplendent with spotless linen, fine
china, glass and silver. In this re
spect the Hotel Jermyn dining room
keeps pace with the standard of ex
cellence created by the great Delmonl
co and other chefs of note. With Its
hundreds of electric lights, onyx pil
lars, glistening tableware nnd rich
furniture. It presents at the dinner
hour a picture rivalling a scene from
veritable fairyland, nnd the cuisine nnd
service has nlrendy made the house
famous throughout the country. The
dining room has a seating capacity of
two hundred and In the breakfast room
adjoining, accommodations may be
had for fifty additional guests.
On the floor with the dining room are
situated the Turkish parlor, the la
dles' parlors, reception rooms and a
number of handsome suites which are
furnished and upholstered in a style
of Oriental magnificence throughout.
On each floor are a number of well
lighted rooms reserved for the use ot
commercial travelers, nnd numerous
booths, lnvatorle.s, etc., nre located at
convenient points through the build
ing. The sleeping rooms are all
equipped with handsome brass beds,
hair mattresses, springs of the latest
design, and. in fact, everything In
keeping with tho style and excellent
character of the house.
While the hotel Is absolutely fire
proof, even' floor and partition being
of brick and cement, and with marble
and iron stairways, yet to allay tho
timid, the house Is equipped with a
system of automatic fire alarms, fire
extinguishers, and has fire plugs on
every floor. The building Is also sup
plied with a complete electrical sys
tem of call bells, and other appliances
for the convenience and comfort of
guests.
Proprietor F. S. Godfrey, who Is fa
vorably known to the traveling publlo
as proprietor of the Lackawanna Val

spared no ffort to bring this splendid
hostelry to a state of perfection that
is equalled by few houses outsldo of
the metropolitan cities, and has sus

The postal facilities of Scranton are
among the most Impoitant of the well
conducted features of the great mu
nicipality that stamp the city us the
home of progress. The Scranton post
office, situated in the splendid govern
ment building on Court House square,
which Is already In the heart of the
business center, Is one of the best ap
points establishments of the kind In
the state. The exterior Is modest In
design, carrying out the general plan
adopted for government buildings
throughout the country, but as Its np
pcaranco would Indicate In the accom
panying Illustration, Is constructed
upon plans of enduring excellence, and
Ih calculated to stand the storms of
coming ages, a monument to Ameilran
architecture. .Within, the arrange
ments for handling the Immense quan
tities of mall that pass through the
office dally, are most complete. The
skill of the Inventor, who has profited
by the experience of years, has been
evoked at every hand to produce the
best machinery and appliances devoted
to postal work, and by the aid of these
Inventions, coupled with convenient
settings In the Yarlous rectptacles for
mall, the amount of woik that can bo
accomplished In tho way of rapid dis
tribution by a compnrntlvcly email
force of men, Is often astonishing. The
Interior of the building, wh'ch Is tie-
vuit'ii hi wi posiomce aeparnneni, is
finished In solid oak of a massUo pat
tern, designed with nn eye to dura
bility, Delivery windows, stamp win
dows, and windows devoted to the
money older and postal note depart
ment, where a fort of banking busi
ness Is transacted dally, and handsome
brass trimmed boxes greet the eye of
the visitor at tho front, while In the
rear of the building are the pilvato
offices of the postmaster and his as
sistants, the mall receiving nnd dls
ti Uniting rooms, etc.
From this center 'a system of free
delivery lins been Inaugurated, which
Is second to none In the land. Tho de
livery department Is In the hands of
experienced cairlers who have an ac
quaintance with the city and Its peoplo
that makes mistakes or delay In the
delivery of mail almost Impossible In
ordinary instances. Few persons not
acquainted with the workings of the
office have an Idea of the difficulties
encountered In distributing mall to a
population of th character of the In
habitants of Scranton. For Instance,
tho city directory contains nearly
seven pages devoted to the Williams
family, nnd In the list there are fifty
two who answer to the namo of "Will
iam Wllllamn." In spite of the many
drawbacks, however, llttlo complaint Is
heard of niletukes or delay In delivery.
The Scranton postofilce being under
the civil service rules, It Is impossible
for any but the highest grade of effi
ciency to gain recognition on the re
eeive list of employes.

NottliiKliam Laco Manufacturers.
The lace Industry was first Intro
duced In Scranton about six years ago
by English manufacturers, who had
been Impressed by excellent facilities
of Scranton as a manufacturing city.
Tho capitalists of Scranton took kindly
to tho enterprise of the Nottingham
laccmakers, and the present flourish
ing establishment Is the result of their
negotiations. On coming to America
they brought with them some of tho
mo3t skilled lacemakers In the world,
thus enabling the manufacturers of
the Lnckawanna region to successfully
compete with the best products of the
foreign maikets. By tho enactment of
tho Gonnan-Wllcon tariff bill the laco
Industry In America received n severe
blow, In company with many other In
dustries that ar affected by a rush
of foreign goods In the times of free
trade. With tho readjustment of the
tariff under the Dlngley measure, tne
Industry has revived, nnd unUss again
affected by tariff tinkering in the near
future will probably continue to be one
of our most thriving enterprises. From
the nature of the occupation the lace
mnklng Industry requires the services
of the most Intelligent and skilled of
working people, and a Ince factory Is
an Institution to be desired in any com
munity. The plant of the Scranton Lace Cur
tain company, which is situated at the
corner of Meylert avenue nnd Glen
street, Is most thoroughly equipped.
It contains fifteen lace looms, and has
a capacity of 1,000 pair of curtains
dally. The company uses raw mater
ial, purchasing cotton In tho ekeln
nnd do their own spooling, bleaching,
and dressing. Special artists nnd de
signers are employed constantly at the
factory, and all patterns are therefore
original and are created in the high
est style of art. In fact no process Is
omitted from the tlmo that the raw
cotton la brought to the establishment
In rough unbleached skeins until It Is
turned out tho realization of the drap
er's dream. From 250 to 273 hands are
constantly employed at the factory,
which Is one of the Institutions in
which all public-spirited citizens feel
a keen Interest. The officers of tho
Scranton Lace Curtain company are;
J, Benjamin Dlmmlck, president;
Henry Belln, Jr., vice president; II. J.
Anderson, treasurer; II. W. Taylor,
secretary and general manager.
