OTIS M. TOWNSEND

Starting with a fairly small scale of surroundings and working steadily toward a virionary goal, Otis M. Townsend, well know builder Ocean City, has at last reached point la his burineas career when he can print with considerable pride toward many achievements. The history of Townsend and his rise has been repented many til but it is Just announced by cwnsend organisation that the busteas during the past year has multiplied itself tan times over the busl-

1,490 homee has be*

A machine shop was needed. Town■end purchased the shop owned and tied by J. E- Carter at 620 Pleasavenue. This shop, minus the building, is now a part of the Townaend organisation, and outside repair work in automobiles Is solicited. The lee Plant building, on West avenue, between Sixth and Seventh streets. Is known as Lumber Yard Number Two. Cement and lime will be stored in this plant. More than twenty years of steady plugging away at buslneae, has made the Townsend organisation what it Is today. As an employee of Mayor Joseph O. Champion, the head of the Townsend organisation conducted the architectural end of the buwiees. and liter started in busines* Kr himself and branched out in more ways than one. making good use of knowledge gained through previous experienca.

MYSTERIOUS EIRE DESTROYS GOSHEN EARN Midnight Blaze on Tuesday Rum Walling Barn to the Ground The barn belonging to J. Walling, of Goshen, on what is known as the Thompson farm, was completely destroyed by fire on Tuesday night, near midnight. The barn is close to the Walling home, but the family had gone to bed and were unconscious of the fire until arcuaed !.y neighbors. The origin of the fire is a mystery. The barn was used only for storage of farm Implements and egg crates, and no one had visited the barn for hours before the fire. There were no stoves or electric wires in the barn, and no apparent way of it catching on fire. An alarm was sent in to Court House and the fire company made a quick run to the scene ot the blaze but before it arrived the structure had been reduced to u smoldering ryln. State Troopers arrived as quickly as the fire department, and Sheriff Redding was on the job with

than. It is understood that a thorough investigation Into the cause of the fire will be made, it being feared that the barn-burning epidemic which is sweeping sections of Pennb/lvania and New Jersey may have struck Cape May County.

The m^ln trouble with politics is there are too many politicians in it.
