ing company, and the finest one of the
kind here.
In machinery hall, noticed good die
play of machinery by Jones & Lamson, of
Windsor consisting of screw machines,
press drills, etc. Farther along, in the same

bed-planers, pony planer, matching ma
chimes and turbine water-wheels. This
company also have in operation at the

saw mill, and light portable saw mill. In
eleven years the Lane manufacturing CON-

mills of all sizes; ten patents on devices
for operating carriage, and "dogging," etc.
In that time they have become the most
extensive manufacturers of the kind in the
country. Dull as business has been in the
last two years, they have sold two hundred
planning machines. Their exhibit here is a
credit to New England as well as to their
own state.

Nichols 81 Co. This is not 30 gaudily fin
ished as two or three similar machines, but
has substantial and fine appearance, and
