Looking at the slate business upon every
side only one conclusion can be drawn
that is. when the business shall be correct
ly conducted upon business principles, and
| few men shall not attempt to control the
business for their own personal benefit, 1t
| will be the best business in New England /;
| one reason, the buyers OF slate are better
| pay as a general thing, than the buyere OF
| other commodities manufactured. One
dealer here told mo they had only two
| protested notes the past year. When slate
| IL called for by foreign lands 1t must be a
paying business producing it. The mantle
business can be carried on with no other
slate than the slate on this range, because
other slate is too hard to work. Believing
have been right in my position, must
