Spring Service Gives
Spring All Year Around
That old spring may look as if it
were gone forever to you, but to Harry
Hemstreet, of the Wilkes-Barre Spring
Service, it’s prime material.
Harry and his able assistants are
willing to take on almost any hope-
less case, and retemper, rebuild, and
generally redeem it, until it is up to
its original height, and guaranteed to
signed for.
Located at 247 N. Washington
Street, Wilkes-Barre, the spring ser-
vice was established 16 years ago. But
Harry and two of his men, John Boy-
er and John John’s, had gathered ex-
perience for many years before with
other organizations. To “ date, the
three men have each spent more than
30 years at the trade.
At present, the plant is equipped to
give immediate service on springs on
Smith Started At Top
Progressed To Bottom
Meet Charlie Smith, who runs one
of the biggest and best-known auto-
mobile top services in Wyoming Val-
ley.
Mr.
Smith is the proprietor of the
Standard Top Works at 300 Market
|
: Street, Kingston, and has been in bus-
iness at that address for more than
thirty years.
Not contented with sitting back and
being satisfied with the profits of his
auto top department, Mr. Smith added
body and fender repairing to his list
of services some years ago. Recent-
ly, he again felt the need for expan-
sion, and the plant now boasts a new

in the business in various towns.

Not only that, but
if it does not carry the spring you
want in stock, it is prepared to manu-
facture one in a short while, instead
of having to send to the factory for it.
Hemstreet himself is carrying out
family tradition, for spring making has
been the family craft for generations.
In addition to Harry, many other pres-
ent members of the family are engaged
Al-
though spring comes but once a year
for ordinary motorists, spring comes
all year 'round for those motorists who
plate glass department.
How far this expansion move is
likely to go, he is not sure. He has not
fixed any definite limits, and will con-
tinue to grow, until he feels that the
needs of his customers are being ade-
quately handled.
Born on the West Side, he has lived
and done business there all his life.
And it appears he is one of the West
Side’s favorite sons, for his brand of
work is just as popular as he is.

NEWS FOR HOMEOWNERS—The
modern trend in home building is to-
ward insulation; walls are protected
against heat and cold, ceilings and
basements against frost, dirt and
seepage. Latest development in the
field is “window conditioning” which
architects and engineers claim is the
most vital insulation of them all. In-
stalling double sash or storm-windows
is reported to effect a greater dollars
and cents saving to the homeowner
than any other type of insulation.
Tests conducted by Prof. G. L. Larson,
of the University of Wisconsin, show
that in the average home which is not
“window conditioned” one out of ev-
ery four shovels of coal! goes out the
window instead of in the furnace. The
ble glazing or “window conditioning”
is repaid within two years through
furnace fuel savings.

WASHINGTON—About this time
of year merchants and jobbers in ev-
ery section of the country take inven-
business skies for possible signs or
tory of goods on hand, and scan the
how much stock they should lay in
for fall and winter trade. The U. S.
Department of Commerce here, follow-
ing the same procedure, has just is-
sued its mid-year report on consum-
ers’ goods inventories. The report says
that stocks on hand have returned to
normal. The large quantity of mer-
chandise which
the latter part of 1936 and early 1937,
says the report, has been gradually
liquidated. Pointing out that retail
sales during the first six months of
this year were about 15 per cent under
those for the same period of 1937, and
about five per cent below 1936, the re-
port concludes that this trend seems
to have run its course, and that a con-
tinued improvement in sales is in pros-
pect,
