He does not make much of a fuss over hie place, just says it is a modest little plant ami warns na not to talk loo “big” alxiut it, but agrees with us that there is no need for local people to buy their floral pieces ami decorations away from home.

Moll, who «aid it hail not run for forty years or more. It had a chain-ring on it like a bent horse shoe nail. Mr. Gardner does not keep much jewelry on hand, because be hae pretty nearly given the tants folks up as a bad job. He says most folks like to go to the big stores where they can see the tine things displayed just for the «ake of seeing them, and the modest stock which he carried for a while did not look sufliciently attrac tive even though the prices were so much lower. We hope that when Lenta folks get the habit of keeping their money at home there will be a demand for a fully stocked jewelry etore among other things, and undoubtedly Mr. Gardner will manfully fill the breach. Lovett furniture Store. A fully equipped store, with both new and old furniture is that of Mr. Ixivett on 92nd street just south of Woodstock avenue. He has been in business here four years, and lias al ways sold at lower prices than the down-town stores. His greatest obstacle is the pernicious habit of buy ing on the installment plan. If Mt. Hcott residents realized the money they are wasting year after year in buying go<xis on such plans they would »top and thiDk and save up a smaller amount of money and buy the goods at home. A lady recently bought a stove down town on the installment plan for (14. It did not work well, and for tunately was guaranteed. She went to Mr. Lovett about it, and he showed her one exactly like it which he sells at (6.50. On hie advice she took the stove luck, got her first payment returned and bought his stove. Had she not got her payment back, she would still have been money ahead. Mr. Lovett gives as the chief reason why lents people trade in town is the plan of the Port land stores to advertise a “leader.” When the customer goes to see it, they are not satisfied and are persuaded to buy something else, and right there they lose money and would have been better suited at lees price right at home. Stores using the "leader” system do not expect to meet expenses with such sales, they count on persuading the customer to make other purchases, and usually succeed. J. L. Cederstrom. All who have ever taken the front car at tants station on a trip to town are familiar with the little watch re pairing shop of J. L. Cederstrom. Mr. Cederstrom has been five years in busi ness in Lents, and has forty-five years experience. He learned the trade at Stockholm, ih Sweden. Like Mr. Gardner he does not keep much stock on hand, but orders watchss and jewelry of various kinds, and it is in order to remark here that thia is prob ably the very cheapeet way of obtain ing a good article, and unlike the mail order business you ba vs the personal advice and assistance of an expert when ordering. With two «rich capable watch repairers in Lents there is no excuse for "the office boy,” or any one el«e being late on account of a faulty time-piece. Mr. Cederstrom finds busi- ne«e quite satisfactory. Dee. 30th >nd wax buried from Ken worthy Parlors Tuesday at 11:0O o’clock a m. Hhe was a daughter of Amos Barrick.

One of the old-time firms is Wiley & Alien, the real estate men with their of fice at the waiting room on the corner of 92nd St. and Woodstock Ave. They have been in business here 12 years and have handled much of the real estate that has » hanged hands in years past. They claim that they have yet to hear of one of their customers being di»satis- fied, a claim which those who know them will liear out. They have sold lots in Clemenson’s Addition, Mt. Scott View, j Mayfield Addition, the old town site of Ix-nl«, and practically every addition in the neighborhood. A great many of their sales have been on the installment plan.
