Maj. Livingston's new building at
South Pomfret is u thorough structure.
The main room, intended for machin.
cry for getting out chair-strctchcrs,
Is 24x5O feet, at the end Of this, under
the same roof, is the engine room,
1924, in which his engine and boiler
are placed, aud underneath is n well
from which the boiler is supplied with
water. The machinery IS the latest
improved and best make. The engine
is IN upright, with double cylinders,
material of the best steel and brass,
and shines like silver and gold. 1t was
manufactured by that well known firm,
Clark & knights, Worcester, Mass,
who have u national reputation for
this kind of work. The engine and
boiler cost Sli00 on the cars at Wor-
cester. The Major is u thorough cngi-
necr himself, understands every bolt
and screw in an engine, and con-
sequently takes great pride in this
machine-as well he may. This
establishment will add much to the
business interests of South Pomfrct,
when fairly under headway.
