Tool Co., the cost of which will be from
$1,000 to $4,000. A new Hercules water
wheel will be soon in position which cost
$3.50. t1ume will be constructed on the
west side of the stream for future enlarge
ments or other expected industries. No wa
ter power in New England can have more adj
vantages than this for cotton, WOODEN or any

it is never failing. But little business is be-
ing done in any of our shops
