tanned near at hand in Wisconsin, and
the cheap fuel provided in the saw mill
refuse, would combine to render the
establishment of such factory profit

confident of the feasibility of the scheme

would return good dividends.

prison warden and deputy. This last
revision is thought to be final, and the

the prison tailor shop turns out the re-
formatory suits by that date.
