As the vacant house on the corner
of Yale and Dickinson Avenue was
being relieved of its lead pipes and
fixtures,- the Chief of Police happened! along, and apprehended the
two miscreants who are now awaiting trial in the Media jail. Swarthmore is getting a reputation for being well guarded, and suspicious
characters will soon realize the unwisdom of entering its precincts.
Once more a change takes place in
store ownership. Mr. Bittle is lost
from the ranks of Swarthmore merchants, and his place is taken by one
of his salesmen, Mr. Robert Spurrier,
who is too well known to the numerous patrons of the store to need an
introduction to them. . Those who
have been well and pleasantly served
by'him in times past will certainly
[he glad to give him their custom in
this new venture. Mr. SpUrrier expects not only to do as well by them
as in days gone by, but considerably
better, and, fortunately, he is a man
of his word. ,'• /
