Dear Sir: Currie Hardware Co, At
lantic City. N J, had been dealing in
paint for more than twenty years, and
last year found-out I)evoe. Thin is how
they did it.
Bought two cans, took-off the labels,
sent to a chemist for analysis.
The chemist found it pure; and they
took our agency.
That is the way to find-out a paint;
but not every dealer can do it. There
ought to be public provision for making
good things known without cost. It's a
pity American citizens haven't got it.
The people want it, even more than the
trade.
Yours truly

first commencement exercise*, last |
week, for a graduating class of seven, |
and the diplomas were presented by
Dr. V. F. Thomas.
At the meetiuir of the Butler School
Board, last Friday evening, the High
School Committee recommended the
plans of ' Architect Y" as the plans
were marked, which can be built upon
for about $85,000. Some objections
were entered and the matter held over,
the architect to have specifications
ready tor the meeting tomorrow even
ing Some properties were exonerated
from the school taxes of 'O3, 'O4 and 'OS:
P. H. Sechler was awarded the con
tract for marking the graves of those
removed from the old to the North
Cemetery.
The proposed new school house
should front on McKean St.. and be set
back of those two old, oak trees, which
could not be replaced if destroyed: and
the building should, as one of the
directors stated, be an ornament to the
town, and be so constructed that
"wings 'or additions could be built to
it; without destroying its architectural
beauty.
