Mr.. II. j. Pettibone, who is to take charge
of the st. Croix Iron works, has jest re-
signed the position of superin tendent n the
Monitor Iron Works company, Fort Howard,
Wis. Mr.. Pettibone brings with him the
highest recommendation as a practical ma
chinist, and with the experience he has ao
quired in the manufacture and repairs of
machinery for the many saw mills and MANN
factories located in the lumber district from

life into the institution over which he is to
preside. Much of the iron work that is now
manufactured abroad can now be proftably
and satisfactorily made at home and the
business of the city increased thereby.
