Conveniently located, with a
railroad siding adjacent to the
building, the Seashore Supply
company buys practically all of
its stocks in carload lots, which
are recieved by both the Penn
sylvania and the Reading raH
roads. They carry all nationally
advertised and standard articles
in the general supply line.
Twenty-seven persons are em
ployed at present in the conduct
of the tremendous volume of
business that has been built up
by this concern, and three trucks
are constantly engaged in the
delivery and hauling service of
the concern.
At the head of the business is
W. J. Hepburn as general man
ager. In no small degree, the
remarkable success of the con
cern is due to Mr. Hepburn’s
experience, ability, industry and
energy, coupled with his wide
acquaintance in this particular
line. He was formerly on the road
engaged in the handling of this
line of goods, and during his
seventeen years’ experience he
learned the business and the
trade most thoroughly. When he
founded the present company,
he simply decided to capitalize
his experience and acquaintance,
and these have proved splendid
investments for him and his as
sociates in the undertaking. Mr.
Hepburn is a Shriner, an Elk,
and a member of the Rotary
Club. He is also an active mem
ber of the Episcopal Church, and
is widely and favorably known.
Plastering As An Art
Printz and Spalding Noted for
the Excellence of Their Work
at the Shore
Plastering is one of the most ancient
handicrafts employed “in connection,
with building operations. Search
of ancient ruins shows that primitive
man erected his dwellings from sticks
and mud. From this humble be
ginning plastering became a decora
tive art under the influence of the
Greeks and was used extensively in
the beautifying and building of
temples. Today it has reached per
fection, as is evidenced by the durable
and high-class plastering of Printz
and Spalding, 110 North Iowa
Avenue.
There is no more convincing proof
of the decorative value of plastering
than the work done by Printz and
Spalding in the new warehouse of the
Eldredge company. There the offices
are made beautiful with soft cream
colored tints that are restful for the
eyes. There Prints and Spalding have
given an example of their great
ability to create beauty at the same
time that they construct substantial
work. j —
The application of plastering to
all parts of the house is of recent
practice. We do not need to go back
so many years to find joists and bare
boards in homes. But today, plaster
ing is fast becoming a necessity to all
sections of the home. It. is used both
inside and out. For the interior it
is used as A foundation for wall paper.
Dften times it is decorated with f
igures or tinted with pleasant colors
ind is not papered at all. Whichever
way the work is to be done, the best
■esults can be obtained from Prints
md Spalding, expert plasterers, who
rave been in the business at the shore
or years.
They have gained an enviable
•eputation as men of skill and quick
work. If there is any special work
:o be done in a residence there is
no danger of having the whole house
tracked up with dirt, for James H.
Printz and John Spalding specialize
in doing jobs without making un
necessary refuse.
Stucco work is another phase of
plastering which comes under the
scope of Printz and Spalding. Many
owners of the handsomest homes in
Atlantic City and neighboring re
sorts, which are finished in stucco,
lave employed Printz and Spalding
;or the work.
Riley Bros, for Coal
Prompt Service and Honest Deal
ing Brings Success to Long .
^Established Firm.
One of the most valuable things in
the world is coal. It is coal that has
given this modern civilization all its
strength and power. It is coal that
makes possible manufacturing on a
large scale. It is coal that enables
us to cross the Atlantic. It is coal
that, gives the force to electricially
light entire cities. But of all the uses
for coal that most affecting the rank
and file is the domestic.
The heating of our homes and the
cooking of our meals relate directly
to coal. We are dependent upon
coal and upon coal dealers. That’s
the reason it is vitally important
that coal merchants be of the highest
calibre and conduct their business
an the fairest basis. When we speak
af the up-to-the-minute coal merchant
af today, we think of Riley Brothers
and their concern on North Brighton
Avnuee.
For years the Riley Brothers have r
conducted their business in this city
