| Ranger Brothers, of East Wilton, are the
propretors of an enterprise which has no op-
position that we are aware of. 1t is the pro-
cess of stripping lumber for veneering sleigh
backs and dashers, picture frame backs etc.
The patent is their own invention and cost
them some two years labor to perfect The
patent extends for sixteen years from June,
1883. The wood used by them is principally
bass-wood. and is prepared for stripping by
saving the logs in the length required. The
Ranger Brothers now employ five men,
and think of enlarging in the fall. They
have not taken an order for two years, and
still have on hand more old orders than they
can easily fill this year, and vet they will do
double the work of any previous year-using
some 10000 feet OF lumber. They have Or
ders from Germany and from all parts of
America.
