An American way of living has changed since the traveling men all came in by train, each with from six to nine huge sample trunks from which milliners and drygoods buyers chose their stock for a season, and which had to be wrestled to the top of the hotel hack for transfer to the local inn and then wrangled down the stairs to the cellar where there was am ple space to spread out the con tents. . Frank Parsons of 311 Liberty street, Penn Yan,, was the driver of one of those hacks, at the turn of the century, v/hich made the rounds from steamboat dock, to railroad station, to the Ben ham hotel. He drove for Beaumont and Son livery, located back of the Benham hotel, for 20 years. He met every steamboat 'and train that came to Penn Yan. In the Open Housing Office For Station Workers t ’ The official housing office for Yates county, affiliated with the area office at Geneva for the new Sampson Naval Training station, has been opened by the Penn Yan Chamber of Com merce and the Yates County War council in the Arcade building on the ground floor, in the office formerly occupied by the' Milo town clerk. Official state housing cards are there so that any who have rooms to rent may fill out cards. A duplicate will be sent to the area’s main housing of fice, so that whether workers on the huge new federal project apply for rooms there or at Ihe Penn Yan office, to which many will be sent, they will have in formation immediately avail able. ’ Anyone desiring further infor mation may phone 55 or call at the office.
