Bequeathed Millions,
Employes to Carry on
Gravell's Policies
15 KeyWorkers Get
Bulk of Estate of
Paint Plant Owner
B) the Associated Press.
AMBLER, Pa., Feb. 6.—Enriched
by the millions left by their paint
manufacturer boss, the key em
ployes of J. Harvey Gravell plan
to carry on the traditions and busi
ness policies he fostered.
The 15 who were bequeathed the
bulk of Mr. Gravell’s $3,000,000 es
tate, disclosed through a spokes
man that there would be no change
in the operation of the American
Chemical Paint Co. plant here.
Grateful for the final generous
gesture of the man who one Christ
mas gave his workers $100,000 to
pay off their debts, the legatees said
they intended to establish a per
manent memorial for him.
Standing to benefit handsomely
even after estate and inheritance
taxes reduce the fortune, the em
ployes, ’most of whom have large
families, indicated the windfall
would alter the course of their lives.
“I'm going to send my sons to
college,” said Frank Scardino after
terms of Mr. Gravell's will were an
nounced yesterday.
Grinning broadly and pointing to
the overalls he wears as plant fore
man, Mr. Scardino added: “You
see, now I’m darn well fixed.”
“My wife and I always wanted
to travel,” remarked another. “The
only trouble is to get the time off.”
Miss Clara Bordona, 32, Mr.
Gravell’s secretary, received the
news quietly, and with praise for
a “fine man.”
“As far as I'm concerned, I would
rather have him back than all the
money in the world,” she said. “I
intend to keep on working for the
company.”
Mr. Gravell, who died December
8, at the age of 59, wrote that it
was his purpose to place control and
ownership of tne plant in the hands
of his business associates and em
ployes. "
The stock was placed in trust for
the 15 employes for 10 years. After
that they will own it outright. *
Believing that the wives made
his men good employes, Mr. Gravell
once gave $300 to each of the
“home-makers.”
American Chemical Paint Co. has
branches in Toronto, Canada; De
troit and Newcastle, Del., but only
employes of the Ambler plant were
named in the will.

—to the things the house will be needing
for your greater comfort and convenience
Homes grow old and need rehabilitation. They
grow old-fashioned and need renovizing and
modernizing.
WHAT to do—and WHERE to begin—may seem
a problem, but there is a simple way to answer both
these questions economically and efficiently. Put them
up to The Eberly Plan and have the benefit of our
long and varied experience.
Our Supervisors will come and talk it over with
you. Let them suggest how to turn that old-fashioned
kitchen into one that is up-to-date. If you have rooms
that are not needed, let them show you how they can
be converted into a rentable apartment.
Whatever the problem may be—our solution will
be a practical orie—and you will enjoy your home
more because it will be more livable—and therefore
a better realty investment. When we have finished
you will say it has been “money well spent.”
No matter how little is to be done; or how
elaborate—it will ALL be done by Eberly Plan
craftsmen—with only ONE modest overhead—and
with only ONE responsibility—OURS.

Ex-Senator Deneen
Will Be Buried in
Chicago Thursday
Republican Leader
Is Deacf of Heart
Ailment at 76
B» th* Associated Pres*.
CHICAGO, Feb. 6.—Funeral serv
ices will be held Thursday after
noon for Charles S. Deneen, 76, for
mer United States Senator and a
dominant figure in Illinois Repub
lican politics for 20 years.
Mr. Deneen collapsed and died of
a heart ailment at his home yester
day a few hours after visiting a
physician. Friends said he appeared
to have enjoyed excellent health
except for a cold during the last
two weeks.
Burial will be in Oak Woods
Cemetery after funeral services at
the Englewood Methodist Church.
Mr. Deneen’s political career
spanned a half century and in
cluded two terms as governor—from
1904 to 1912. He served in the
Senate from 1924 to 1930. Only re
cently he was organizing his follow
ers for the Impending Cook County
(Chicago) and Illinois primary elec
tions.
He Is survived by his widow, a
son, Charles A. Deneen of Chicago,
and three daughters, Mrs. Almond
M. Blow, Tulsa, Okla.; Mrs. Carl
Birdsall, Chicago, and Mrs. Thomas
W. House, jr., Houston, Tex.
Perhaps Mr. Deneen’s most
dramatic political battle was the
1028 primary campaign In which he
vanquished the Republican faction
led by Gov. Len Small, Mayor Wil
liam Hale "Big Bill” Thompson of
Chicago and State’s Attorney Robert
E. Crowe. The bombing of Mr.
Deneen’s home and the slaying of
two Deneen followers marked the
bitter light.

Five years ago he had hair. He also had dandruff,
his hair was falling, his scalp itched, but shampoo

consulting a specialist would be costly. He tried first
one thing, then another. Finally he did consult a
Specialist . . . but it was TOO LATE. Scalp condi
