Looking back into history, if it might be called such at this early date, we find frequent references to Raynor- town or Raynor South, a mere handful of dwellings whicb have since grown into the flourishing community now known as Freeport. On the evening of Saturday, June 18, 1892, twenty citizens of the locali ty met in Van Ripers hall on Main Street, and appointed a committee of seven to take steps toward incorpora tion. This committee met frequently from the first eign of spring to the last poeeible day of the fall, and good I gunning takes its place for many dur ing the winter.

The , residents, some 1,800 in number, were then incorporated and elected their' first Board of Trustees, consisting of Carman Cornelius, as president, and Henry Mead, H. Asa Nichols and R a y nor R. Smith, who held their first meeting on December 6, 1892. Since that date Freeport has had a wonderful growth. To one who can look back over the last two decades | and recollect the time when all the land south of the Merrick Road was in two or three farms, and the population was centered closely around the old de- i pot east of Main Street the growth is truly marvelous.

Not for today nor for tomorrow, but for a generation to come. And this point adds one more complexity to it, even though it is now more complex than anyone hut those actively engaged in the profession can know. • Laying aside the intricate steps and ROSS & RANDALL CO.

His time One cannot look back over this rec- ia t b U8 saved—a very dear item to the ord without immense gratitude of the men who have served gratuitously as trustees of the village affairs, carrying on the business of the inhabitants dili gently and faithfully at considerable personal sacrifice. Such men as Car man Cornelius, Col. James Dean, Hir am R. -Smith, Smith Cox, Wm. G. Mil ler, Samuel R. Smith, Geo. Wallace, Daniel Morrison and J ohn D. Gunning, all of whom have served as president of the village, to say nothing of the much larger list of trustees, have been the quiet yet c e r tain instruments of average American. Again his money is saved, for modern advertising is truthful, and the bargains he secures are genuine. Aside from time and money, many helpful suggestions and a great variety of new ideas are gath ered from the more comprehensive campaigns. This makes present day advertising both e n tertaining and in structive and makes the reading of in teresting ads assured.
