that per cent of our male adults who can

The FLANDERS PUHP COMPANY" W 18th
increased capital and enlarged facilities for
manufacture. are to be the successors Of the
Nergennos Machine Company 50 much IS
decided but whether tho company will be
located at Vergennes or at Burlington or at
Plattsburgh Is as set undecided, and de-
pends upon certain contingencies There Is
only one thing certain, and that is the in
creased demand Of the public for these
pumps and water-works machinery make
it absolutely necessary for the company to
have larger machine shops Immediately.
The Old Rutland depot buildings and
grounds here, OF additional machine shops
at Yergennes. would probably meet their
requirements at present, and the question
OF location will probably be decided by the
concessions that may be offered in such case.
The Nergennes Machine Company have July
$4,000 worth Of material, patterns, etc,
to say nothing Of the three valuable patents
of j. p. Flanders, the inventor Of the Elan
ders pumps, all of which belong to this
company. The suit Of Birdsell HOlleY and
the Holley Company against the Nergeunes
Machine Company is not regaT ded as either
dangerous or likely to be a very severe
burden. as many other manufacturers are
ready to meet q liberal share of it but the
company very naturally desire speedy
trial of the case, as they are confident there
is no infringement on their part. This
would seem to have been the view of the
counsel for complainants, since. alter fully
examining the Flanders pumps and ma
chinery as constructed by the Nergennes
Machine Company, he could discover moth
ing that could help him in making out
even primG fd1.e case of infringement. The
success Of the Flanders pumps Is assured
by the large demand for them by cities all
over the United States. Much Of this Is
due to the energy and practical knowledge
