" FEW people realize what a great, big and important town Lake Ariel Has be-
come. As you approach it from any direction you are impressed with the
fact that here by a Wayne county lakeside has grown a town of homes and
of industry. As you make a closer inspection of the place you are surprised
still further at the character of the business enterprises and the substantial
nature of the, business houses. Several of them are of concrete and would
do credit to any city in the land. Ariel used to be a Summer resort town,
but it long ago passed that stage of existence, and to-day is making a growth
on all lines that is .truly remarkable.

Especially is this true in the
case of the well Known
merchants, Samson & Cook, dealers

tell you something of what they are
doing, as well as hint at what they
have done in tho past. Their busi
ness was begun several years ago,
and it was strictly along the line of
fresh meats. Wayne county stock
was purchased from the farmers,
who soon learned that at "the Lake"
they could get ready cash for what
they had to sell and that the pur
chaser would buy what they had for
sale right at their doors. This made

the Ariel dealers in fresh meat very
popular, and it led to an ever widen
ing business along other lines than
those of fresh meats,
One day not long ago along came a
fire that did a lot of damage to Ariel
property. It burned up the building
of Samson & Cook. It couldn't burn
up their business, nor could it burn
up their enterprise and enthusiasm.
They made this fire the opportunity
for a great step forward in their busi
ness and in the affairs of Lake Ariel.
They had ideas of their own about 1
store buildings, and they decided to
put up a structure that would be a
realization of their dreams, onq that
would be amply large to accommo
date their over-increasing business.
Out on Maple avenue, nearly op
posite the church, they selected a
beautiful site, and on it they built a
large structure. It is built of ce
ment, has the effect of dressed stone,
is modern and beautiful in architec
ture, and is two stories in height,
with a basement under the entire
building.
