'TIS WORTH THE EFFORT.
There is a Chance for Reynoldsvllle to
Get P. R. R. Division Headquarters.
We understand that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has not decided yet
where to locate their divlson head
quarters, division yards and car repair
shops for tbls division, but it is a sure
thing that a selection will be made in
the near future for that purpose.
Railroad officials always makt careful
investigation before such an important
matter as locating division headquart
ers, yards and repair shops is decided
upon, and no doubt are now familiar
with the desirable location that can be
secured at Reynoldsvllle for such head
quarters, superior to any other place on
this division, and yet when other towns
are making strenuous efforts to get tbe
headquarters it would be advisable for
us not to fold our hands and depend en
tirely on the good location we have to
offer the company. We had better
show that we are interested In tbe
matter at least.
Prosperity Has Not Spoiled Him.
Frank Kreltler, lumberman of Ne
braska, Pa., who gave the Methodist
Ep.scopal congregation at Brookville
$10,000 Monday towards the erection of
a new church, came to Brookville forty
four years ago without money and
started a barbershop when tbe price for
a shave was only 5 oents. Mr. Kreltler
afterwards entered into . the lumber
business and Is now a rich man.
Riches, however, has not spoiled him,
but enables him to show his generosity
and large heartedness. He made his
flnanolal start in Brookville and for
that reason felt he ought to give liber
ally at this time to tbe M. E. congre
gation. Snpie years ago he bought
some timber land from a man who now
resides In Reynoldsvllle, paying the
man bis prloe and all tbe timber tract
was worth at that time. Recently our
citizen received a letter from Mr.
Kreltler, in which was enclosed a check
for $100. Mr. Kreltler said he had sold
tbe timber tract for a much larger sum
than he bad paid for It, and for that
reason he bad enclosed tbe check for
$100. We have beard of other similar
evidences of the liberality of Mr.
Kreltler. Tbls was not given to us for
publication, but we publish it to show
that there are rich men who are gener
ous and not altogether selfish.

TWO INDUSTRIAL
PROPOSITIONS ARE
BEFORE THE PEOPLE
Chair and Window Screen Factor
ies may be Secured for Reyn
oldsville in a Short Time.
AN OPEN FIELD FOR BOTH HERE
Tbere are two industrial propositions
now awaiting action at the hands of the
people of Reynoldsvllle and within the
next few weeks tbe citizens will be
given an opportunity to help boost the -
town anq at. the. same time secure a
profitable Income for themselves. Tbe
first is that of the chair factory and
has been fully explained to the readers
of The Star. The seoond 1b a plan to
reorganize tbe E A. Reitz Company,
recently urganiz-d for tbe purpose of
manufacturing a newly patented ad
justable window moreen, and place the
b lit mess on a broader plane. During
the past week Mr. Reitz and a repre
sentative have cal.ed upon many of the
leadiug biifinesi m,;u of town with
models of ibn ned patent and have en
deavored to arouse interest. Almost
without excep-ion they pronounced the
Idea a good one and wore quick to per
ceive tbe possibility of building -up a
large trade. Mr. Reltz hat already
shown bis own faith In the future of his
patent by putting his entire capital into
tbe original company for its develop
ment and nearly a thoueaud dollars hat
been expemltd for maebfuery and
equipment. But th present company's
capital Is inadequate to carry on the
business on a large (nale and it would
take a long period to introduce the
screen and build up the trade without
ample working capital. For this rea
son it is deired to luereuse the capital
ization to $22,000. and tbe citizens of '
Reynoldsvllle will be given first oppor
tunity to pecure an investment and a
industry. Of the amount $12,000 will be
retained by' the company and $10,00$ '
lssura to tbe public. "IteynoldsvlUe n
my horoe,'! said Mr. Reita, "and I would
prefer to locate tbe plant here if sufS-
fjio6t Interest is taken in the project.
But," be continued, 'I am determine!
to place the screen on the market and If
Reynoldsvllle will lend no encourage
ment i sDaii oe compelled to go else
where." A building 40 x 100 feet would be
erected in which would he the business
office and storage room. The working
department, fully equipped, would pro
vide employment to about twenty men.
While tbe main feature of the new
industry would be the manufacture of
the adjustable window screen, tbe mill
equipment would a!!ow of the making
of many similar articles such as soreen
doors, ordinary window screens acd
other woodwork for wbich there is
6teady demand, and In this way the
plant could be tuade profitable even
while tbe work of Introducing tbo new
screen was in pi ogress. Tbe plans pro
vide for the erection of t permanent
building and the equipment would be
complete enough to muse successful
competition possible with any plant
now in tbe business.
These, are projects wtiiob should
be bandied by a Board of Trade. Reyn
oldsville has none. For this reason
progress is necessarily slow and the
backers of each enterprise are com
pelled to personally solicit the support
of tbe individual? (4 tbe community.
The work is rendered much more diffi
cult by tbe inability to get concerted
action. Neither chair Dor screen pro
position requires any great capital and
if, when calls are iued for meetings
by the two companie s us they will be
very 90on, the citizens will turn out,
and show some interest in the town,
both can be landed vita rase.
"The Lord helps the who help
themselves" and a torn wbich will not

A Memory of Childhood.
A tiny shoe, a memento of the child
hood days of a ReynoiJ-viile gentleman
now nearlng bis fifty-nibtb year, has
been on exhibition in one of the Bing
Stoke Co. display windows the past
week, and to the o'.Cei- generation has
bad a pathetic in teres; t in remind
ing tbem of the pioneer days when
shoes were a luxury and tbe modern
machine made shoe unknown. This
little shoe was made fifty-five years
ago, by an itinerant cobbler, being
shaped and sewed entirely by hand, and
while not quite so stylish in Its lines as
some of its modern companions in the"
window, was doubtless fully as comfort
able. Struck Financial Rocks.
