Ericsson BENJAMIN & SONS PLUMBING • ••EUldeee HEATING SERVICE Telephone 9268 WE ARE HUNTING TROUBLE The following letter by Mrs. Frans A. Ericsson, of East Orange, N. J., the former Mrs. A. T. Fant of this city, was submitted in the paper’s January contest and received honor able mention: Why I Read The Chronicle The Clinton Chronicle has been coming to my home each week now for twenty years and each week it is received with a great deal of pleas ure. If, for some reason, it does not reach me here in East Orange on Saturday morning, that day seems incomplete. When it became necessary for me to leave Clinton ten years ago, I took The Chronicle with me. Throughout the years it has kept me in touch with friends and former neighbors. Through the medium of its columns I have been able to share their joys and their sorrows; to watch the children grow to youijg man hood and womanhood; and to follow with interest the growth of the city. To its readers in the city and sur rounding communities I know The Chronicle gives accurate information through its advertisements. The farmers and the shoppers get the in formation they want and the house wife finds out where her dollar will go the farthest. •The Chronicle strives to be a clean newspaper, complete, newsy and re liable—If you don’t get The Chron icle you don’t get the news. I have found these statements true to the letter and maybe that is why I have not yet been able to give up my subscription to The Chronicle. LYDIA MILLS NEWS FOR THE WEEK Miss Doris Jackson.
