About IIOOp Poles,

Mr.. S.W. Iawton has been Il dealer IN
hoop poles in Skowhegan Is years. having
started in here in the year 1917. He has
been the only buyer of hoop poles here
the greater portion of this time,
is thoroughly familiar with the business
and can tell Just what there Is in Il
bundle of hoops as far AS he can see it.
Hoops are manufactured largely by
men who do something in farming in til,
summer season and who make the hoops
and bring them to market i'll the lat,
fall. winter and early spring. They are
Il cash article and these men OF mo,ier-
ate means use up the spare time they
have from their agricultural operations
in cutting hoop poles drawing them IL
heir premises and working them into
the marketable article which they load
on to their one horse or two horse sled
or wagon and bring them To Skowhcgan
where they always find Mr. Lawton
ready to give them their money i'll hand
lust IL soon ~ the hoops are unloadcd il
they meet his requirements.
There are some, however. who do II
larger business. hire men and teams to
extend their operations. but. a. rule,
the hoop pole business in Somerset is
done by men OF limited means in small
operations wherein the whole family,
boy, and girls take Il hand in the long
winter evenings when they work around
"A fire and add materially to the cash
assets of the family thereby.
Mr.. Lawton's customers come To him
with hoops from wide range of country,
covering IA radius of % miles or more. he
knows them all, is familiar with their
circumstances and habits, they all know
him and rely upon him.
Mr.. Lawton informs lis that the drink
habit Is a serious detrimcnt to some OF
these men H. il i 10 all Glasses. Once in
while. one sells his hoops gets the
money in his pocket and is apt To visit
the rum shops where the rumscllcr is
ready to sell him villainous compound
upon which he is apt TO get ''plumb full
and get rid of every dollar of his hard
earned cash.
Mr.. Lawton has one customer in Bos-
ton from whom he has standing order
of 200, 900 birch hoops per year. This
season he bought 100000 birch hoops
hui the year before he took in but "A
little more than 100000 here and was
obliged to purchase the balance of deal
crs in other parts of the State. Mr..
Iawton also purchased last winter l50, ZOO
long ash hoops. He says the supply of
birch i, practically unlimited but ash is
getting scarce and consumers are already
going west for them.
