\ - From Another Correspondent
= Among the leading industries of Yer
gennes, the Vermont Shade Roller Co.
occupies IA prominent place. The mem
bers of this stock company live in Bur
lingtOn. The mandatory is located al
the west end of the bridge. 1t is l2SX6C
feet, and four stories high. Adjoining is
the boiler house, built of brick and stone
Near by is the dry house and store ROOM
besides shaving house and barn, making
altogether quite an array of buildings
The moving spirit of this machinery
filled structure is a siXty-horse-powei
water wheel from the Rodney Hunt Ma
chine Co. of Orange, Mass. Thirty-fivt
hands are employed, and the entire es
Establishment is under the control Of Mr.
). a. futile as superintendent. The
market for the manufactured goods Of
| nd
ton, Philadelphia, Concord, n. Ii. ant
foreign orders, through New York houses
are not novelty. During the season OF
navigation eight boat-lOads of manu-
featured goods were shipped, each boa
averaging $50 gross of curtain roll stock
During the winter months the shipment,
do not average so high. Besides the 20t
feet by $50, occupied by the described
buildings, the company has about tw,
acres of land near the steamboat dock
which is used for the storage of stock
On this two acres there are nine sheds 70
the protection of the better class of stool
and the whole space is now occupied
The mandatory is warmcd>by steam
and tire-eXtinguishing arrangements hav
been so perfected that ii would seem al
most impossible for the structure to b,
burned. Steam pipes run under boil
the dry and shaving buildings, and eacl
could be filled with dense body of steam
in very brief time. The business is rul
on full time, and frequently night worl
becomes necessary to fill their large or
Aders.
