Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - August 15, 1903 THE PLACE TO GET FAT There is a place in Montgomery county, where lean people can easily get fat. This is the beautiful little borough of Pennsburg, in the upper end, from where another proof of the above was reported last week. Eleven young ladies of Philadelphia, members of a shooting club, Mrs. MEYER, Mrs. MOLTER, Mrs. J. STARK, Mrs. Chas. HERSCH, Mrs. GATEMAN, Mrs. KIRCHNER, Mrs. H. BUEHL, Mrs. L. KIRN, Mrs. LENKFELD, Mrs. WOODLAND, Mrs. P. BARNHARD visited the popular landlord, Hermann ROTH, in said borough, and enjoyed themselves there for three days. At their arrival they were all taken on hay scales, and their total weight was found to be 1855 pounds. Before they left, they were weighed again, and their weight had increased to 1990 pounds, a gain of 135 pounds, or about 12 pounds each. This result is claimed to be due not only to the wonderful healthy air in that borough but also and perhaps more properly to that great master in the culinary art, the hostess in that celebrated hostelry.
