Death was due to typhoid pneumonia. Mr. Jordan's health had been on the wane for the last few months, but he was able to be around until a week ago. So critical had been his condition for the last few days, that death was expected.

Mr. Jordan was a member of one of the best known families in Upper Pittston' and prior to his illness was employed at the' freight depot of the Boys Will Be Proud to Wear Suits that mothers will be proud' to sec on their Suits, have good looks and the good looks arc backed up with good tailoring and good hard wearing materials. $4.50 to $10 MEN It's Time To Change 1 dive your faithful but tired Winter Suit a rest. few days ago it took courage to wear a Spring Suit.
