Under new management, the new establish

now running uninterruptedly. Mr. S. s. Fowler
has purchased the entire interest of Mr.. VIC An

MIR. Fowler procured The services of an expert
machinest who emedied several radical defects

sohd foundation Tor the ready sale of the devices

introduced another important feature in the

has been laboring under great difficulties in the
matter, and for one while it looked as if the
whole concern woul go under, and people grew
suspicious of he enterprise The trouble was
not in the invention; that is very Ingenious
and valuable one but it needed proper handling,
like all good things. Now that every diffcu ty
in the construction of the machines has been
tovercome and the entire ownership and control
of the p ant passed into the hands of Mr.. Fowl
