IHE SHADY ADVANCE
Df community in the pilhwav of on
drug prosperity Is marked by few
sarer indications than the incre ise in its
industrial ins buttons devoted to uork
In iron. The force Of thoss remarks
will Suggest itself to the citizens OF Seat
tie when We state that one of the pro.
pr;.,ors Ut the Puget Forndry told the
writer that there had been more life in
the business IA the last Twelve months
than for ive years preyi ,uslv. The pe.
rod preceding the last year or two will
be remembered ~ one Of depression,
while the later period will Pass into his
tory M having innugurated an era of
prosperity. the beginning of which only
we have seen. As a direct outgrowth of
this new era,

erected machine shop. blacksmith
shop and foundry mt the corner of Sec
ond and Jackson streets. The several
departments ara virtually carried on
under one roof. the building occupied
being l.0xtD feet in dimensions. In the
machine shops are four lathes, one
planer, ons shaper and drill press and
one bolt cutter. As a matter OF course,
whatever Ii to be seen in this machine
shop can he seen in any other, and there
~ nothing particularly new about it.
But for all that, to those unfamiliar
with the precision and seemingly human
intelligence with which machinery can
do its work, n visit 10 this machine shop

eight-ton cupola, core oven and a
