W. PUTNAM 00. A Salem man who has climbed the ladder of fame as a caterer to the public in the way of amusements and diversions is Dad Geler, as he is pop ularly known. First ho had a little old hand corn-popper, and later a small steam englno popper, and next a 11500 popcorn machine on wheels. This machine was the sub ject of newspaper controversy, action by the city council, and later of spe cial attention by the mayor. But through it all, Dad Geler kopt Bunny tempered nnd went on shining shoes, selling popcorn, peanuts and news papers. He next blossomed out with u poolroom on State street, in con nection with his shining parlors, und wnen the upper story of the large building in which the Salem Hard ware Company id located became va cant, Dad Geler saw an opportunity he long had sought. He decided to fit up that large room for a mag nificent amusement parlor such as this city had nover seen. He spent about 13000 on the interior finish nnd decorations, and put in a bril liantly lighted and equipped billiard nnd poolroom, with eight new tablos of standard size, where the lovers of that sport can have all the advant ages of n perfectly nppolntod nmuso inont room abovo the streets and out of the way of the public. Those rooms aro open day and evenings, and every Wednesday aftornoon the ladles have free use of the tables. It Is expectod that n groat many billiard exports among tho fair sex will be developed in these favorable surroundings, for Mr. Gelor has de termined to lonve nothing undone to make the place pleasant nnd attract ive to both ladles and gontlemen. There will bo no rough conduct al lowed, and the proprietor solicits the patronage ot tho vory hlgnest class of people. He wishes the public a Merry Christmas and extends them a cordlnl Invitation to visit tho finest plnce of tho kind In the Cnpital City. Few mon havo mado a harder fight to come up through tho ranks from nmaii beginnings inan una ueier nna ho Is certainly to bo congratulated on his magnificent success. lie is a man of energy and entorprlso, und it Is the wish and hope of his friends that his days of boot-blacking aro ovor. Of indomitable will and cour age, he is a man who deserves suc cess in any walk of life, and ho does woll whatovor ho starts out to do, and this Inst venture will undoubt edly prove a great success.
