   ALFRED TOON manufacturer, P.O. Sellersville, was born in 
England in 1831, and is a son of William Toon.  Alfred Toon 
learned his trade in England, his father having also been a 
manufacturer of hosiery.  He commenced the manufacture of 
knit goods in Bucks county in 1872, and has since carried on 
this work.  His goods are shipped throughout the United 
States, wholesale and retail.  He employs ten hands in his 
business, principally girls. Mr. Toon married Anna 
Strowhoner, and by this union has six children:  Selena, 
Elizabeth, Alfred, Harry, Maria and William.  Alfred Toon 
travels in the interest of the business in the lower end of 
Bucks county and in Montgomery county; and Harry C. Moyer 
travels through Lehigh, Northampton and Berks counties.  Mr. 
Toon is a member of the Methodist church, and in politics is 
a republican.
