Persons who 'vieited II. W. Turner's Eleventh avenue drug store on Saturday witnessed quite an innovation in soda water apparatus. It was the introduc tion of something entirely new for this section of the state, in fact is only seen a the larger cities and but few ot them are in operation there. It is named the 'Innovation," manufactured bv Linpin- cott of Philadelphia, While serving the customer at this fountain the dispenser of beverage always faces the natron, since the syrup containers and soda apparatus are a part of tho dispensing counter instead of being a part of the wall fixtures.

The display apparatus consinta of three large plate glass mirrors, set in white enameled casing, with three large domes of colored glass, lighted bv electricity, all of which pro duce a most pleasing effect. A dispensing counter of white marble from the top to the floor line and extending Irom the front door to a depth of about twenty-live feet, is fitted with the latest devices for tho rapid handling of beverages. The store has, during the past low weeks, undergone a complete transforma tion. An additional depth of fifteen feet has been acquired by the removal of the prescription case to a like distance in the rear. A steel ceiling, additional wall mirrors, fresh paint and new wall paper combine in making this one of the most up- to-date stores in the state.

Mr. Turner is receiving the congratula tions of his friends and patrons for his progressive spirit, all of which is merited. The electric wiring, all of which has been renewed, was done under the direction of James Dublin, the well known electrician. The Chess Tourney. Cambridge Springs, April 25.

The Trust Company, In its fiduciary capacity as trustee of estates, administrator, executor or guardian, is the logical and at the same time the most essential outgrowth of our economic system.

The important position assumed by the trust company is due to the fact(that it reduces to a minimum the hazards and elements of in security which heretofore surrounded the individual trusteeship of estates. Character and capital are the best assets of the trust Its officers and directors should be men of wide experience, men who have been tried and who devote themselves with honorable zeal to the high duties of their positions. Its corporate work, whether applying exclusively to its trust business or otherwise, should comport with the dignity of the Institution, the sacred obligalons assumed, and with a view to the safety of the beneficiaries, involving absolutely no risks or hazards. With a knowledge of these requirements THE ALTOONA TRUST COMPANY was organized by men of mature years, well known in the community In which they have lived, of varied experience, successful in their own affairs, possessed of ample means, acquainted with business methods, with men and values, and standards; with a fixed desire to establish and maintain for the institution a reputation for Integrity, stability, safety and courtesy, and thus prove itself worthy of the confidential relations which must always exist between a trust company and those whom it would serve; and along these lines to-day invites your confidence and your business.
