i 1 CLOTHING SALE STARTS TODAY BIG CELEBRATION HELD IN FAIRVIEW Municipal Tree, Speeches, Music and Gifts Mark Day in 'Cross River Town Special to the Telegraph AVest Falrview, Dec. 27. Christmas eve and Christmas day of 1915 will go down In the annals of history of this borough as a time (never to bo forgotten. For ho llrst time in history this century old town had the true Christmas spirit so aroused that residents held a public celebration. Then, too, the awakened and aroused interest for a greater West Shore 'which has been agitated for the past few months and the I sentiment for which is growing stronger week after week had much to do with the manner in which the occasion was celebrated.

Some time ago the Good Will Fire Company appointed a committee to arrange for and manage a fair and bazar during the holiday season and it was this committee which arranged and so successfully carried out the plans incident to the community Christmas tree celebration on Christmas eve and the Santa Claus post ofllce on Christmas morning. At 7:30 o'clock on Christmas eve the lights on the large tvee erected at the intersection of Third street and State Road were turned on and revealed to the crowd who had gathered there for the exercises, the most beautiful sight ever beheld in the borough At the extreme top of the tree was a large star of electric lights vJhlle in the center was a huge circle of tri colored lights. Scattered over the tree was a myriad of vari colored lights which altogether presented a most beautiful appearance. The exercises began with the singing of a Christmas carol by the pupils of the three upper schools after which the Rev. A.

G. Wolf, pastor of St. Mark's Lutheran church offered an invocation. More singing followed after which Senator Franklin Martin made a short address, speaking chiefly of the great wave of public sentiment in this and other towns along the West Shore for civic betterment, urging greater activity along this line and attributing this celebration mainly to this great movement. The Rev.

A. G. Wolf was the next speaker who spoke on true "Good "Will" as announced to the shepherds at the birth of Christ and said he was glad that the fire company bearing that name was doing so much to fulfill the significance of the name they bear. Several selections were sung by the children after which they joined hands around the Christmas tree and all sang "America," which marked the conclusion of the first community tree exercises. But it remained for the "Santa Claus post office" to cap the climax of the celebration.

Promptly at nine o'clock on Christmas morning the doors of the Good "Will firehouse were thrown open to admit the children to the Santa Claus post office. Santa, in all his glory with a number of assistants was inside the parcel window while outside a Santa Claus from New York State who came to assist the good old saint from our own State was busy assisting the children in getting their "mail." Never has a sight such as this presented itself to the residents of the borough. In the throng which continued for two hours were some without coats and hats, some to whom Santa had never been real on account of poverty and who never in their little lives knew that Christmas was a time of real joy until this year. RAIX STOPS CELEBRATIOX Special to The Telegraph New Cumberland, Dec. 27.

A large crowd assembled on Market Square at 5.30 o'clock Christmas evening to witness the celebration of the municipal tree, which was ablaze with over a hundred colored lights.

The New Cumberland, band played several selections and a male chorus rendered several Christmas carols. The children from 1 to 9 years of age were given a treat of boxes of candy and oranges.

III' VKa isaat hi Chassis only $1,000 Broaden Your Territory Increase Your Business NO MATTER WHAT YOUR LINE whether a manufacturer or a wholesaler; a supply house, retailer or contractor in the city; farmer specializing in dairying stock or a general agriculturalist; no matter which of a thousand lines of commercial activity you are engaged in no matter which of a thousand problems of quick transportation confront you one or both of these Reo Motor Trucks will meet your conditions. IS PARAMOUNT in modern business the facilities to deliver promptly and with dispatch the articles your customers need whether the product of the farm or factory or the daily order from the store. OF COURSE SOME LINES of business call for more than one type of motor truck one of great carrying capacity to handle the in coming tonnage, and delivery from the central warehouse to the various distributing points from which the smaller loads are handled by lighter, faster trucks to destination. USERS FIND that a combination of the two Reo models is ideal one or more of the 2 ton trucks and several 1500 pound Speed Wagons.

2 Ton Reo THEN THERE ARE others who require only one type of truck. ANUFACTURERS, WHOLESALERS and Jobbers of heavy or bulky articles are partial to the 2 ton Reo. (COMMERCIAL DAIRYMEN all over America use this power J6i reliable Reo and are unanimously enthusiastic over its yjerformance and its extremely low cost of up keep. IT IS i COMMON THING for a dairyman to carry 60 to 80 10 gallon cans of milk on this truck a load of nearly twice its rated '2 ton) capacity. SOME B.TG CONCERNS in metropolitan centers, who use fleets of motor trucks, tell us that they rely on their Reos as confidently as on railway time tables the Reos are even more accurate on the schedule.

AND AS FOR DP KEEP why, we wish you could talk to evrxy owner of a 2 ton Reo. You'd hear figures that, did we use themi in an ad, would be incredible to you, much as you value the word of Reo. IN SIX MONTHS yes, in less time than that this Reo will pay for And when you realize when you've proven to yourself by your own figures how much lower is the maintenance cost and how much greater the efficiency you'll wander how you delayed so long in making the change. CONCERNING BODIES: There are so many lines of business to which Reo motor trucks are applicable, and these call for such diversity in bodies, it is impossible for any manufacturer to make them all. YOU CAN HAVE ANY KIND OP BODY to fit either of these chassis made by your local wagon maker or we will furnish you blueprints and photos and refer you to reliable concerns who will do it for you.

Ton Reo THERE HAS LONG BEEN an insistent and a widespread demand for a motor truck of greater celerity than that of which the heavy duty types are capable. YET IT TOOK LONGER to develop a practical motor truck of this type and for this service. LOAD IS A PROBLEM but, that was solved years ago the 2 ton Reo, for example. SPEED IS ANOTHER and more difficult problem but that too was solved in the pleasure car. BUT LOAD PLUS SPEED there was a problem over which the world's leading automobile engineers pondered long and earnestly.

Reo engineers worked on this for several years before we were willing to offer the result to Reo customers. WE FIRST TRIED IT OUT thoroughly, in our own work at Lansing and in various other lines of business there. We carried a ton of castings at speeds up to 30 miles per hour week after week month after month and she stood the gaff. PNEUMATIC TIRES IS THE ANSWER to this kind of service they, make speed, with loads up to three quarters of a ton, possible and practical. TODAY THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED of this model in operation in almost every town and in every class of work.

And, without exception, they are making good. OF COURSE WE PUT the usual Reo factor of safety, "50 per cent over size in all vital parts" in this as in every other Reo Motor Vehicle. TIRES TOO ARE 50 PER CENT LARGER than is necessary to carry the normal load. So, when on occasion, you find it necessary or desirable to overload this speed wagon" don't worry It's a Reo and it will stand it. IF ALL ELSE WERE EQUAL quality of the product, and price, and the guarantee back of it and we think you'll agree there's no other guarantee quite so good as Reo's) still good business would dictate a Reo Motor Truck in preference to any other.

ON SERVICE GROUNDS REO IS THE BEST BUY. More than 1500 dealers handle Reos and so, no' mutter where you may be, always there's a Reo representative at hand ready, willing yes, eager to give you any service or instantly supply any part you may need.
