IT'S curious how a slight change in
locality affects the same business. For
instance: there has been but little
cord wood cut in the vicinity of Mil
r ford, because the price paid for this
: work here IS so small that labor finds
but little remuneration for the time;
but at Milton, twelve miles southeast
of Milford, the price paid for cutting
cord wood has been higher than foi
+ wears past. Consequently there has
=
r been more cut.
