66 Meadow street, yesterday noon experienced great joy and great fear in rapid succession.

As soon as the parade had passed she started to cross the street with her little brother and ran directly in front of the Main street trolley.

Main Street Trolley Tracks.

The condition of the Main street trolley tracks, or the space between them, ought at least to furnish a reasonable excuse for the common council to take some action. On the stretch between Railroad and Bank streets, the dirt has washed away so that between the rails the surface is from two to five inches lower than outside, so that not only a serious but a dangerous condition has arisen. Vehicles cannot pass over the rails at right angles without a sharp jolting and an attempt to cross the tracks at any other course is likely to be disastrous to the wheels of the vehicle. The contract between the trolley company and the city requires the company to macadam the street, both between the rails and for a space of two feet outside, where the rest of the highway was macadam. The city has laid macadam up to the rails for the entire length of the Main street line at its own expense, but SO far the company has shown no contract, disposition to perform its part of the even 50 far as macadamizing that part between the rails.

49 Pearl Ecoms 4 and 5, First 7120:. About two years ago we first the new key method of the "Union." offered It was the product of fifteen years of tinual. successful manufacture of concash that registers time and we are been proud of it. Since its merits we have merchants busy explaining to and among other things we pointed out these main features; that it is lever operated, that it is operated by the left hand, that it has a flexible keyboard, and that it is high grade machine selling at a a moderate very price. All these we claimed to be superior advantages (who but at that time our competitors were selling right handed, crank operated, unflexible machines) contended that they were not valuable features.

They and lost in the judgment of the public. One all preferred the Now notice what has happened. Recently they publish a picture of a machine that is left handed lever operated (apparently) and has a flexible keyboard; admitting, by so doing. that WE have the right machine, for they recommend this machine to the public. We have not seen it.

They didn't have one in stock when we called. So far as we can learn no Conn. merchant has one. none have yet said a good word for it, it is an experiment without a friend in the world but its manufacturers. On the other hand let us call your attention to these facts and then use your own judgment.

Our registers are in use by many prominent Conn. merchants and they all have the highest praise for it: we are the originators of the valuable lever operated registers and no imitation can be good; our lever principle registers are right, for even our competitors have had to admit it by imitating it, hence that puts all other styles of registers out of the question and leaves the matter one of a question between the merits of two lever operated machines. of which competition we have no fear: for we make the best lever operated register on the market today, as it is positive acting, built all of steel and quick and easy to operate. In short imitation is the sincerest flattery but original manufacturers always make the best goods. We are the originators of the new idea in cash registers.

P. There are so many good features that we always forget some of them. In writing the above we forgot to say that the operates automatically, which no other register does. This puts it in a superior class by itself. You will understand this when you see how it saves wear and time.

There is only one automatic register, the "UNION." There is only one register anyway, The "UNION. Beauty at a Glance 1s our specialty.
