Jefferson Macaroni Factory May
Become the Largest in America
A. T. Bing Suddenly Expired on
Main Street Monday Evening-
New Patented Process for Pre
paring Macaroni Has Been
. Secured by Company.
ADDITION TO PLANT PLANNED
-Company also Importing Olive
Oil and Bottling for Retail
Trade as Well as Increasing
Their Wholesale Business.
3. & J. Marinaro have under way
plans for the expansion ot their business
interests which will make the Jefferson
Macaroni factory in Reynoldsville one
of the largest and most important cereal
food plants in the United States. The
local plant has been a success from the
start and paid such handsome dividends
to the owners that in three years time
, they have gained the courage, exper
ience and capital to warrant extension
of their business to an extent and along
lines never dreamed of at the begin
ning. The Marlnaros are two of the bold
est and most successful business men
in the state. They started at the
bottom and in a series ot ventures, in
cluding mercantile business, banking,
mining and manufacturing, have ac
cumulated a fortune of considerable
size. They have gradually narrowed
- their operations and now have centered
their whole attention on the two most
proStable: the manufacture of macaroni
and production of coal. Of the latter
we speak elsewhere. Their macaroni
plant la located In Reynoldsville and
any growth the plant may have will
benefit directly the local community.
Three additions have been maae to
the original factory building. In the
near future another large building will
be erected near the present one to
accommodate new lines of business. It
is proposed to make the plant an Im
mense wholesale distributing center,
for various lines of food products, be
sides Introducing a number of new
brands of noodle preparations and plac-
Inir fbaivffon t Vin Hinwlat In infolln naw
and patented form. The company bas
Voarrled on a wholesale agency for flour
.for several years and has probably dis
tributed more carloads of this cereal
in the last few years than any house in
the western part of the state outside of
Pittsburgh. This branch of the busi
ness will be continued.
For several years the factory bas
supplied the local trade with olive oil,
acting simply as an agent. Mr. Marin-
aro Is now arranging with Italian
manuiacturers oi tne oil in Europe to
ship bim larger consignments of the
oil in bulk and it will be bottled and
prepared for trade in the factory at
Reynoldsville. The oil will be sold in
two grades, the ''Jefferson" and
"Marinaro" brands, and will be equal
in -ttu rwpcuw w tuo uuswy pruuuut
of the European houses. This delicacy
is rapidly growing in favor in America
for cooking purposes and the field for
Its sale is national. In Europe Its use
is universal and predictions are made
that it will soon be so in America as
well.
In the past the factory bae sold most
of its macaroni in bulk- The manage
ment is now placing on the market
several brands of egg noodles neatly
and tastefully boxed, in the style of
the breakfast foods, and It is the pur
pose of the company to prepare these
boxed noodles in a richer and more
nutritious manner than can now be
obtained. As Mr. Marinaro gums it
up, "Where the other factories use one
egg to each box, we will use two."
Perhaps the most important of all
the plans, and the one which will bring
the most notoriety and financial profit
to the Jefferson Macaroni factory, is
the proposed introduction of a totally
new form of cooked macaroni. Recent
ly patent rights in the United States
were taken out on s system of prepar
ing this food at the factory which ren
ders unnecessary the usual cooking in
the home and insures to the buyer all
the rich and delicious flavor macaroni
possesses when properly prepared,
When the stupendous popularity of
so-called prepared breakfast foods now
on the market is recalled, it will be
seen what Immense possibilities lie
In this new product a food fit for a
king morning, noon or night. Prac
tically the only objection to macaroni
Is that so few Americana know how
-to cook It properly to bring out Its full
flavor. Tbe new preparation will solve
i -ii . . ii 1 1 .i i
that difficultly. Realizing this, Mr.
Marinaro immediately sought the In
ventor, tested the process, found It
good and entered into an agreement
t) place tbe product va the 'market.
CartotiB are now being mndo and in
a few weeks the new food will be manu
factured and for sale everywhere.
Agents wilt be Bent all over the United
Statue, extensive advertising, and all
possible, will be done to popularize tbe
new table delicacy. In Intnduclng tbe
article in some of the larger places,
Mr. Marinaro will arrange to have
street demonstrations, serving free
dishes of tbe food in the manner of the
big cereal concerns during exhibitions.
No preparation even remotely like It
is now on sale and if it gains the
popularity anticipated, there is simply
no limit to the business which may
be built up
The carrying out of these plans
means tbe Investment of many thous
ands of dollars in the plant and gradual
increase of employees and agents, all
of which will aid in building up Reynoldsville.
Institute Question
Will Not Down
Reynoldsville Wants the Coun
ty Institute and Will Fight
Till She Gets It.
At the recent Triennial School Di
rectors' convention, the resolution
recommending that the Jefferson coun
ty teachers' institute be hold alternate
ly at Reynoldsville, Punxsutawney and
Brookvllle was declared lost by the
chair, (vote as follows: 63 for and 89
against tbe resolution.
Parties Interested in the resolution
deeming that the confusion arising in
.the convention prevented a fair and im
partial count of the vote, requested that
the resolution, insofar as relating to
Reynoldsville and Brookyllle, be sub
mitted to the directors for a vote at
their regular board meeting in June,
1908. In order that all might be satis
fied, and that the County Superintend
ent might know the sentiment ot the
directors on this question, I submitted
the question to the secretaries of the
different school boards of tbe county,
asking them to have their boards vote
on the resolution and forward tbe vote
to me. The resolution recommending
this change was lost. Vole, 59 for and
114 against.
As several districts requested that
the vote by districts be published, I
submit them:

J. A. Newcome,
Pres. Directors' Association.
We are not satisfied with the above
vote and shall use our Influence to have
the question properly presented at tbe
next county convention. There is no
just reason why the institute should not
be held in Reynoldsville, Punxsutawney
and Brookvllle alternately. It Is likely
Punxsutawney will soon be separate
and hold an Institute of their own, but
suppose they do, there are a number of
township schools around Punxsutawney
that are entitled to the advantages of
the Institute, and we are sure Punxs'y
would not object to haying the institute
In that town every three years. The
above vote don't settle the question.

Raising Cotton
In Reynoldsville
W. H. Yount Has a Thrifty
Bed of the Southern Plant
and it May Blossom,
Reynoldsvillo is not in the cotton
belt of tho United States but just the
same it bas within Its borders a cotton
patch thrifty enough to make a south
ern darky homesick. Last September
W. H. Yount, of the Reynoldsville
Hardware Co., was passing through
Kentucky when be noticed what seemed
to bim immense fields of buckwheat.
Further on he saw a group of "pick
anlpnys" hoeing In one of the fields
and on asking why was told that that
kind of "buckwheat" produced cotton.
He secured a small quantity of the seed
and brought It home. In May of this
year while arranging a flower bed at
his Grant street home, be sowed some
of the cotton seed, hardly believing,
however, that It would come up. In
spite of the cold rains and variable
weather the cotton grew and to-day
Is almost a foot high. Whether it will
produce cotton or not will be deter
mined about September. In the mean
time many people are visiting Mr.
Yount's to watch the progress of this
Southern plant in strange soil. No
special care is taken of It. It was
planted in ordinary soil and left ex
posed to all tbe changes of weather.
Incidentally Mr. Yount Is trying an
other tropical experiment in the way
of two tiny orange trees. These he
keeps in cans and protects during cold
weather.
Excellent Health Advice.

Glfford Ave., San Jose, Cal., says:
"The worth of Electrio Bitters as a
general family remedy for headache,
biliousness and torpor of ' the liver
and bowels is so pronounced that I am
prompted to say something in its favor,
for the benefit of those seeking relief
from such afflictions. There is more
health for the digestive organs In a
bottle of Electrio Bitters than in any
other remedy I know of." Sold under

August 3rd. A birthday party was
held at her home Saturday. It Is
claimed that Mrs. Shoemaker walks
erect and bas good eyesight and hear
ing. The old lady has been usnd to
hard work, and this, together with her
regular habits, she says is what has
given her long life.
A first-class training school is also
an exoellent fitting school for life.
The Lock Haven State Normal School
meets these requirements and its large
patronage Is the best proof of this faot.
It has a fine faculty made up of grad
uates of the best training schools and
oolleges in the United States and
foreign countries. The expenses are
moderate and its home influences par
ticularly attractive. Its location Is
unsurpassed in this state and its

Complained of Heart Trouble
During the Day but Death
.Was Unexpected.
IN BUSINESS FOR MANY YEARS
One of the Best Known and
Most Popular Merchants of
Reynoldsville. Was Fifty
Seven Years Old.
The citizens of ReynoldsTille were
never more shocked over the death
of one man than they were Monday
evening when A. T. Bing, senior mem
ber of Bing Stoke Co., one of tbe oldest
and best known merchants of our town,
dropped dead on Main street. The
news of his death spread over the town
like wildfire, and while people knew
it was true, yet tbey could hardly be
lieve the report. No man in our town
or community was better known or had
more friends than Mr. Blng. Every
body, children and adults, knew
"Bing," and the reason for his popu
larity and wide acquaintance was that
he hud been connected with tbe mer
cantile business in Reynoldsville for
over thirty years and, as clerk or mer
chant, be was cordial and accommo
dating to the customers whom he
waited on. He was jovial and frequent
ly joked with young and old. Peopie
liked to deal with him because tbey
had confidence in what he told tbem.
Wo were personally acquainted with
Mr. Blng for over thirty years, and
were in close touch with bim for a
quarter Of a century, and never, In that
time, did he give us reason to doubt bis
word or his honesty. Never was there
a more honest and more truthful man
engaged in business than was A. T.
Bing. His word could always be de
pended upon. He belonged to the class
of men honorable, industrious And no
blewho give character and stability
to a community, and whom all good
men delight to honor.
When Mr. Blng got out of bed Mon
day morning he had a pain In his breast
and only ate a light breakfast before
be went to store. He suffered more
or less until afternoon, and went home
several times to lie down awhile, but
about three o'clock we talked to him
and he said he was feeling much better.
In this conversation he said his
father had died suddenly while sitting
In a rocking chair. Little did we
think then that Inside of five
short hours he too would go as sudden
ly as did his father. After supper Mr.
Bing was feeling worse again and he
walked down to Dr. Murray's office for
medicine and on his way back to tbe
store, at 7.45, he fell on tbe sidewalk
in front of C. C. Gibson's store. He
was carried into Mr. Gibson's store
and doctors were called, but tbey were
not needed, for the spirit of Mr. Blng
had taken its flight when he dropped
on the sidewalk. Neuralgia of the
heart Is supposed to have caused his
sudden death.
Andrew Thompson Blng was born
at Unlonville, Centre county, Pa.,
January 20, 1851, and was 57 years old
last January. He was the oldest son
of John and Melissa Blng. His father
died a number of years ago from heart
trouble. July 16, 1874, he was
united in marriage to Miss Belle Pearl
Barlow, and the following year, 1875,
thirty-three years ago, Mr. and Mrs.
Blng moved to Reynoldsville and ever
after resided here. Unto Mr. and Mrs.
Blng two daughters were born, one
of whom died in infancy. The other
daughter, Verna, is now tbe wife of
Rev. P. P. Womer.
Mr. Bing was a clerk in several of
the leading dry 'goods stores ot town
up until about fourteen years ago, when
he and J. J. Sutter opened the Blng &
Co. dry goods store in the Nolan block.
They continued In business about four
years and then Mr. Sutter sold his
interest to H. Alex Stoke. In April,
1800, eight years ago last April, the
Bing-Stoke Co. large department stores
were opened at corner of Main and Fifth
streets and Mr. Bing was elected pres
ident of company and held that position
at time of death. He was devoted to
his work and paid strict attention to
business.
During a big revival In the Methodist
Episcopal church at this place In Jan
uary, 1885, under tbe ministry of Rev.
Cearlng Peters, Mr. Bing was happily
and soundly converted and united with
the M. E. church. The following year
he was elected as an offioial member of
the church and was ever after an
official In the church. At time of
death was a member of board of
stewards and was treasurer of that
body. Soon after uniting with the
church Mr. Blng began teaching in
the Sunday school and he never gave
up the work, and was a faithful and
earnest teacher. His death leaves a
class of young men in the Sunday school
without a teacher. In the death of
Mr. Blng the cburch loses one of Its
most loyal membsis. He will be great
ly missed in tbe borne, cburch and com
munity. The deceased took an active Interest
In the Industrial development of Reyn
oldBville, in memory of which the Bus
iness Men's Association, of which be
was a member, has issued a request for
tbe closing of all business places In the
town during tbe hour of his funeral.
Mr. Bing Is survived by his wife, one
daughter, Mrs.- P. P. Womer, of St.
Paul, Minn., an aged mother, Mrs.
Malissa Bing, of Unlonville, three
brothers and four sisters, J. A. Bing.
of Greensburg, J. E. Blng, of Pitts
burgh, L. J. Bing, of Reynoldsville,
Mrs. E, C. Sensor, of Reynoldsville,
Mrs. Mary MuCleer, of Philadelphia,
Mrs A. P. Holland, of DuBols, and
Mrs. Clyde Leever, of Philadelphia.
Funeral service will be held at family
residence on Grant st. at 10 00 a. m.
