.). HERON CROSMAN
The Telephone News of current is
sue contains ft picture and sketch of
J. Heron Crosman, Jr.. of the Hell
Telephone Company, formerly a res
ident of Harrisburg, a veteran of
the Spanish-American War and well
known throughout Pennsylvania. The
sketch is published in connection
with Mr. t.'rosman's twenty-fifth an
niversary of his connection with the
Bell. He is now general commercial
superintendent of the company with
ihc.ndqua.rtei'3 in Philadelphia.
The News has this to say of him:
"In March of 1 894, the Pennsylvania
Telephone Company found itself with
out a secretary-treasurer.
It will he remembered that that
Company, the predecessor of tlie.Bell
of-.Pennsylvania in the central por
tion of the Stale, with headquarters
at Harrisburg. was one of the more
flourishing units of what was in 1894
taking form as the national Bell Tel
ephone System, a system which then
boasted of something like three hun
dred thousand telephones throughout
the country and a daily traffic only a
hit larger than the present combined
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh volumes
on a busy day.
A few miles aown the river at
Steelton, one of the open-hearth fur
naces of tlie Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany was at that time under the
•♦charge of a young fellow who short
ly before had turned from tlie camp
us at New Haven and set forth west
ward to grapple with his first busi
ness venture.
"A contact was eventually brought
about between the telephone job and
th' ; steel man, and J. Heron Cros
man, Jr., was established as financial
officer of the Pennsylvania Tele
phone Company just on the eve of a
period of years that marked the re
ally critical epo'.h of the business
throughout Pennsylvania and the
entire Kast.
"Since that time Mr. Crosman has
been one of us, without even a tem
porary break in his period of Bell
service saw during the Spanish Mar,
when as member of the I T . S. Aol
untcer Troop, Pennsylvania Cavalry,
he was with tlie Colors for the period
of hostilities, participating in the
Porto Hican campaign.
"Many of us vividly recall the wave
of telephone competition that swept
over this territory in the late nine
lies —and central Pennsylvania was
the very hotbed of the movement.
"Curing this period the treasurer
of the Pennsylvania Company was
continuously "in the saddle." Life
with the Bell leaders was both Stren
uous and exciting. It was a veri
table battle for existence. That
splendid up-hill fight is green to-day
in tlie memory of Pennsylvania tele
phone men.
"In 1302 Mr. Crosman was elected
secretary and auditor of the Com
pany, and in 1908, at the time of tlie
Be 11-of-Pennsylvania consolidation,
as division manager of Harrisburg
division assisted In the remodeling
cf the organization in Central Penn
sylvania to the so-called functional
type. No better evidence of the
fruits of that work and of his broad,
vigorous administrate n of commer
cial policy are to be found than in
tlie striking growth that marked this
period despite obstacles that are now
historic with us.
"In 1912 Mr. Crosman came to Phil
adelphia as general commercial su
perintendent of our associated com
• panics, and in that office celebrates
his tvventy-lifth anniversary with the
Bell system.
"In expressing to him our congrat
ulations, the Telephone News, speak
ing for tlie whole crowd of us, pays
very hearty tribute to him on many
scores. Above and beyond his splen
did accomplishments for the business
and correlatively for us all—he is
c Did you lose that job
through a poor skin
There's many a person whose
• chances in life are limited simply be
cause of a skin that is blotchy and un
presentable. Pimples, rough, red,
ugly skins—skins that chap and hum
easily—are usually most successfrll.v
treated with Resinol Ointment.
The joint of Resinol Soap with Resi
nol Ointment usually produces the best
reoalts where facial blemishes are concern
ed, and is equally successful in treating
•ther akin affections on limbs and body.

What Women in Their
"Forties" Need
lIV A SPECIALIST
Mnnv women approach tlie critical
changing period of their lives that
comes between tile ages of forty anil
fifty, unmindful of its tremendous im
portation to their future health and
happiness. Not understanding tlie
functional changes taking place in
their bodies, they work beyond their
strength, often break down, become
nervous wrecks, their bodies suffer
ing with fatigue and their weakened
nerves trembling at every step. Often
in their.weakened condition capillary
hemorrhage becomes, excessive, this
added drain compelling them to take
I to their hods from nervous exhaus-
I tion.
What these women need is some
thing that will instantly relieve tlie
pressure on the overworked nerve
centers and give them the vitality to
stand tii> under the grueling strain.
Wonderfully effective results arc
often given in such conditions hy the
simple use of Margo Nerve Tablets, a
skillful combination of six of the best
nerve vitalizing elements known to
modern chemistry. These little tablets
I contain no dangerous habit-forming
drugs and are entirely harmless in
their action.
Thousands of women ran testify
that Margo NArve Tablets strength
en the jaded nerves, revive the tired
brain and put the energy and courage
into the body that enables one to
| stand up under the unusual strain of
I the changing period. Margo has to do
' these things or It costs nothing as
' Kennedy's, G. A. Gorgas and other
I leading druggists sell It on a positive
guarantee of relief or money hack.
