sixty-three thousand children'stoy carts,
cabs and wheelbarrows of every des-
cription, which are sent to almost every
county in the United States, Canadas
and Europe. His business is rapidly in
creasing and calls for the erection of
more buildings, which are constantly be-
ing added.
This factory has two water wheels
and large pond of water to back it,
and also a large engine being required
in dry seasons. A few years ago two
men did all the work, where twenty
five men and the engine are now called
into requisition to supply orders. Mr..
Chase is rapidly accommodating compe-
tence, and no man works harder to do
his utmost in every laudable enterprise
than Capt. p E. Chase.
A few rods from the mill OF Capt.
Chase is that of Frederick Parmenter,
which employs from five to seven men,
and ships about three car loads of chair
stock each month. Mr.. Parmenter has
always been noted for his extreme fond
ness for timber lands, and farms which
have timber on them. Immediately upon
getting possession of the aforesaid lands
the woodlands axe is heard, and soon
the railroad is in the way of the wood,
end the chair makers of Massachusetts
have control of the part they wish TO
use, while Mr.. Parmenter is looking up
another wood lot.
William L. Bucklin has a mill about
two miles from that of Darius Tarbel,
and gets out about three hundred thou
sand feet of lumber annually, besides
his hard wood for chair stock and his
dimension lumber. Mr.. Bucklin always
keeps a good stock of.toys on hand and
saws and fills every order he gets, pro-
vided they can wait and take their turn
In rotation. He thinks poor mans or
der should receive the same attention as
the rich company's does. A new planer
is soon to be added to this mill, and then
lumber can be dressed here and furnish
employment to more men. From six 10
ten men are at work here theyear round.
Mr.. Buclzlin owns the brick store at Cut
tingsville, but rented it and went to
numbering for the health Of the thing
and makes a success of it.
The mill of Mr.. Hemcnway IS the
upper one on the famous Trout Brook
running through the east part OF the
town. Mr.. Hemenway has usually got
out about one hundred thousand feet OF
mostly hard wood lumber each year.
The great freshet of 1870 nearly ruined
profitable business can be done and
probably the mill will be abandoned, al
| though il could be made to be very
good power by the expenditure of a few
| hundred dollars.
Henry G. Pingrey's mill is about one
| mile from Mr.. Hemenway's and was
entirely washed out by the freshet of
| 1870, but was rebuilt and now does
/ good business, usually about 100000
! feet per year of custom logs being
/ sawed out.
| w. =. & J. p. HOskinsons' mill is
about half a mile from Mr.. Pingrey's,
and is a good water power, but has been
run Of late years by a twenty-horse
/ power engine aud the water combined
/ II was burned the second time the mid
die Of June, 1870, and has not been re-
/ built. although it viii be, as soon as the
/ lumber prospects are good. The amount
usually sawed by this mill was from one
and one-half to two millions feet per
year, and was most of it shipped TO Troy,
Y. Y, with the exception Of one car
load of car silIs per week for the Wa
son car company at Springfield The
| Messrs. HOskinson have small WOOD
lot of some two thousand five hundred
acres and small farm of five or SIX
hundred acres, and their east line Is
only four and one half miles long. They
are now doing an extensive farm bust
ness.
Warren Horton has a mill about three
miles from that of Messrs. HoskinsOns
and it is run by steam the year round.
Mr.. Horton does a very large lumber
inc business. He saws an Immense
amount of chair stock and does a good
business in grain, having recently put in
a grist mill His mill is the only one
in town having a slate and gravel roof
over ever inch of it. 1t is also the larg-
est one in the town, covering more
ground. Mr.. Horton has a large sec
ton of land to go over for logs and Salt
Ash mountain contributes to his call
for lumber.
About one-fourth mile from Mr.. Hor-
TONS mill is a large, new, well built
cheese factory, built by Henry Lord in
= 1872. and put in operation at cost OF
about $4,000. Mr.. Lord is having ex-
cellent success in the cheese business and
has found il as profitable as could be ex-
nected. His cheese sold for one cent
per pound more than the best farm
dairy. We have not as yet got the ful
amount made per month, but it is about
1S per day in the best of the season
The millof VIM. c. Knights is about
} half way between that of Messrs. Hor
; ton and Lord 1t is a water power car
! rage shop. Mr.. knights IS a goot
? workman, and sells every wagon he car
finish almost at sight.
