Slate Pencils

Twenty years ago, all the slate pencils
used were manufactured in Germany.
She then supplied America with this
commodity. In 1850 there was young
man living in Rutland, VT, eighteen
years of age, who fortunately discovered
. supply OF stone, tor making a good
article of slate-pencils. He began by
whiting out the pencils and selling
them to school children. Being better
article than those for sale at the stores,
he found ready sale for all he could
whittle out. He argued that if they
would sell thus readily at home, they
would sell readily everywhers. He be-
came possessed with the idea that there
was fortune in the business, and his
dream has been realized. This quarry
Of slate pencil stone was situated in
large ravine, four miles north of Castle
ton, VT, near Bomoseen lake. The land
on which it was situated was for sale at
800. He purchased it and began oper-
ations by saving out The pencils, and
whiting them round. The business of
making them grew immensely on mis-
hands, so that il was impossible to keep
clean order-beek. Machinery was in-
vented to facilitate the process, which
has reached something like perfection,
and enormously increases the produc-
ton Of pencils. At present the quarry
and mills are owned by joint-stock
company. They are valued at $3OO.OOO.
From 50 600 to 100 00pencils are turned
ont daily, and upward Of one hundred
hands are employed in the quarry and
in the mill. After the stone is quarried
it passes through four processes before
it is made into pencils. Is is sawed in
to rectangular blocks five inches by sew
en-, and split by hand into slabs Of the
same length and breadth, which are care
fully assorted. These slabs pass through
a machine which shaves them all to the
uniform thickness OF quarter Of an
Inch, when they are ready for the final
process. The machinery for reducing
these slabs to pencils consists Of iron
plates fitted to receive them, fastened 70
an endless chain, which passes over rolf-
ers at either end Is. F. Commsrcial
