j. W. Murkland has recently made
furnace for Geo. III. Blake for
warming his new house, which ap-
pears to be a very durable, econom-
zeal heater. Chas. II. Dwinell is
having one built for his residence.
The furnace embodies the principles
of the Murkland furnace, of which
so many have been sold, with some
changes which add to the durability
and heating capacity. without extra
expense. The editor will be pleased
to show his furnace to parties who
wish to see the working Of the ap-
paratus.
Mr.. Hubbell, the inventor Of the
Hubbell pillow, Hubbell car-coupler,
etc., is attempting to form compa-
ny in this place for the more extern
sive manufacture and q general in
PRODUCTION of his pillow. The ploWs
are built at the Murkland shop and
have been sold in this vicinity for
about three years. They have given
very excellent satisfaction and en-
body several points which no other
inventor has been able to obtain.
What seems to be needed now is
means to manufacture and extensive
ly introduce the pillow. Mr.. Hubbell
thinks he can show parties interested
that there is good profit in making
the pillow, and opportunity to build
up large business in the manufact-
ure. 1t is proposed to do the work
at the Murkland shops, satisfactory
arrangements guaranteed on the
part of Mr.. Murkland. The bust
ness, in connection with the other
work done at the machine shop
would make manufacturing enter
prise which ought to be profitable,
and, certainly, something that bust
ness men in the village ought to be
willing to help on by taking stock OIL
giving financial aid. While some
money has gone into the machine
shop and foundry that has not as yet
found its way back to the parties
loaning, it is true that nothing in the
village brings so many people from
surrounding towns to the village, OIL
special business, as the work done a
the machine shop building. Oul
people ought to encourage the new en-
terprise.
