ADDITIONAL BUSINESS.
Business at the tannery is swing
ing into shape and even more than
the old pace will soon be noticed.
The proprietors have made arrange
ments to do still more tanning than
they have, and by this arrangement,
there will occur no more breaks in
the regular running of the business,
other than may be necessary in
order to do repairing. New stock is
going in every day now, and in
short time the usual number of
hands will find employment there.
In addition to this comes the highly
satisfactory information that ar
rangements are well under way and
men already here for the purpose of
finishing the leather product of tan
merry right here on the spot. The en-
tire product may not be finished here
Immediately, but eventually that
will be the case, and that will mean
from % to 35 additional men en-
ployed With this matter an assured
fact, and the probability that "The
Woodbury. Heel Company" of Lynn,
Mass, will increase their works at
the pulp mill here, where is manu-
featured the leatherboard which is
extensively used in heels and counters,
what better or more favorable place
for a big shoe factory could be found
anywhere than we can offer? And
along with the shoe factory, let's
have a canning factory There is no
better corn land in the state right
through ouI Lamoille valley and es-
pecially in this town. Things are
certainly looking bright, and now
we again urge every citizen to throw
his strength with our Improvement
Association, become a member, work
earnestly, and individually consti-
tute a committe of one, to "get
there"
