Hershey Press to Be Mailed to Every Person on R. F. D. Routes Between Lebanon and Harrisburg The shopping center of this section is the title that the Hershey Department Store wants the town of Hershey to bear. The incomparable trolley service from every nearby town, the good roads and the location of the town noted for its beauty, all offer the ease of access that means con-venience for the shopper and an opportu-nity for an outing that is not as tiresome as the trip to the city.

F. D. routes, between Harris-burg and Lebanon, whose name is on our list. If any one that lives m this territory does not get the Press after this week we would appreciate their name and address for we want every person to have a copy of this publication .

The West End of Chocolate Avenue to be an Attractive Addition. More Houses Planned As stated in last week's issue of the Press the town of Hershey is experiencing a building boom. The far western end of Chocolate avenue is a busy hive of in-dustry. Eight houses are almost ready for occupancy, in fact the majority of these houses are already rented. Cellars for six additional houses have been dug, and these houses will be rushed to com-pletion. Plans are under way for other houses to follow. The houses are being constructed under the supervision of that master builder, Jas. R. Putt, who also designed them. The houses are ideal in every sense of the word, arid every one of these houses are a credit to Mr. Putt, as well as a credit to the town of Hershey. Moreover, it did not . cost a pile of money to build them, in fact , the cost will compare favorably with that of the ready-cut-houses—and yet you get a home with an individuality, a home that you can be proud of , and a home that will be as good in the years to come as it is now. It is the intention to make the West End attractive. Cement walks will be laid, and shade trees planted as soon as it is pbssible to do so. The lumber and mill work for these houses was furnished by the lumber de-partment of the Hershey Industrial School. Four teen Ideal Homes Going Up An Applicant From Toronta, Canada. Arrives In Town and Makes Ah Impression Frank Carrol, of Toronta, Canada, arrived in Hershey on Friday and made application at the employment bureau for a position. He was not particular as to the job—anything from digging cellars to a superintendancy would do. He stat-ed that "He was an honest man and that the only thing that was the matter with him was his heart, which was bad, and every six months it went back on him." His application was held under abey-ance, and he made his way to the Hershey Men's Club, where he was seen to fall over—and the six-month heartr»failure attack was on. £ Ralph Fiore was soon on the job, as was Jno. F. Snavely. The stranger was carried into the Men's Club, and Dr. Zim-merman called in. The actions of the man were terrible to behold and to ease his pains a hypodermic was given. He was then carried to the lodging quarters at the Press building and was cared for throughout the entire night with much solicitude. It was thought that he might die any moment, judging from his ac-tions, and the only thing that seemed to ease his pains, was the use of -the hypo-dermic, which was given him quite liber-ally. On Saturday morning, upon the sug-gestion of J. B. Leithiser, he was rushed to the Harrisburg Hospital, in J. E. Snyder's car, and on the way were stopped several times for speeding, but'upon Ralph Fiore showing his badge and saying that he was a limb of the Jaw, and that they had a dying man in the car, they were allowed to continue. Arriving at the Hospital, the man was carefully placed in the chair. As Ralph Fiore said "They thought he would die any moment." The physician glanced at the patent and then imparted the infor-mation that instead of being in a hospital he should be in a jail, as he was a dopster. While Ralph was phoning for the police, the metamorphosis took place—the dying man sprung from the ehauy and. with all haste sped out of the hospital, and Ralph has not seen him since—which is a good thing, as Ralph is much put out about the matter. Several Hers hey Men Taken in Built at Hershey Transit Company's Car Barn by Hershey Master Mechanics Car No. 25, a freight and express car, recently completed at the Hershey Transit Company's car barn, was placed in com-mission on Tuesday. This car was designed by Jas. K. Putt, and constructed, under his personal sup-ervision. This car is 40 feet in length, and is the strongest car on the Hershey Transit Company's lines. It will hold 10 tons with ease. There are a number of new features on this car, viz., an outside ladder to facilitate men getting to roof, automatic doors, its roof construction, which was especially commented upon by one of Brills car experts as being a perfect piece of workmanship and a roof that is ideal from a car construction point of view. Several trolley superintendents have looked over the car, and all pronounce it a splendid car. One of these men was so taken Up with the car that he wanted to place an order to have one built for his lines, which of course, had to be turned down. There are a great 'many advantages in constructing your own cars, as the Her-shey Transit Company has found out— you can build them quicker, stronger and cheaper. Hershe y Transit Co.'s New Express Car EASTER SHOWING A SUCCESS The Hershey Department Store's Easter showing of the newest styfes in men's, women's and children's apparel and grand promenade of living models, was a big success. The auditorium was filled with a large number of interested women, on the afternoons, and all of the evenings, stand-ing room was at a premium. Miss Carrie Clark was one of the models, and her demonstration of Dame Fashion's decrees created a great deal of favorable comment. THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN The campaign for the Third Liberty Loan will be opened on the 6th of April, the anniversary of the declaration of a state of war between the United States and Germany. Secretary McAdoo chose the 6th of April as the day to open the campaign as the most fitting date to call for a pat-riotic response to the summons to duty. Committee on Lodging Will Soon Visit Homes of Hershey and Vi-cinity. Large Convention. Rev. A. G. Crosswhite, correspondent of Brethren publications, of Roaring Springs, Pa., representing the Middle Dis-trict of Pennsylvania, was in Hershey recently, obtaining first-hand informa-tion as to the improved facilities in Her-shey to care for the Brethren convention, and to test out the acoustic properties of the convention hall. ' He expressed himself as well pleased with everything that has been dons since the convention met here three years ago. There had been- considerable talk to the effect that the coming convention in June would be a delegate convention, but Rev. Crosswhite assured the manage-ment that no official action had been taken regarding this, and that the convention would be a general one. The people of Hershey will remember that when the Brethren convention Was held here three years ago that the lodging facilities were inadequate. These fac-ilities have been improved somewhat since then, and the people of Hershey and vicinity should welcome and assist the lodging committees that will no doubt be around to visit the homes to make arrangements to accommodate the dele-gates. .J-Three years ago the lodging rate was 50c a night. The committee have ex-pressed themselves that this rate would not be raised, on account of the many nec-essary increased expenditures. The prospects are that the convention will be very large.
