VERenNNEs.--Wc had the pleasure. on

with the appearance Of enterprise and

Few Of our readers are aware of the
amount of work done. Nearly all of the
work is done by machinery, with an ex-
petition and accuracy that would cause
some establishment to the ploddng cabi-
net makers Of forty years ago The fac
tory is located on the west side of the
the Vergennes falls, from which the pow
er is obtained The building is 40xSO
and four stories high, occupied for the
purposes of the factory throughout.
They employ 80 men all of the
time in the shop They cut upabout So
900 feet of lumber and ship about 800
completed chamber suits each months, be-
sides large numbers Of tables, desks and
book cases. They send out their work in
the knock-down state, and dealers receiv-
ing it thus set it up and finish it. They
supply dealers about here, but their larg-
est markets are Boston, Troy, Albany
and New York Among the interesting
machines we noticed in operation was a
dove.tailing machine, invented and man.
ufactured by j p. Flanders. machinlst,
of Vergennes. 1t is really novelty and
promises great usefulness. We believe
it is the first machine ever invented for
blind dove.tailing. A patent has been
applied for and we have no doubt Mr..
Flanders will realize handsome income
out of it as he deserves.
