North Bennington on the up Grade.
We are glad to be able to continue our
reports, says the Troy Press of April
18th, of villages in this neighborhood.
North Bennington has been on the up.
ward grade for a year or more, with
greater signs of prosperity during the
last few months. The stereoscope works
of H. G. White in the south part of the
village, the largest of the kind in the
world, are being run with full compile
ment of help, and thousands of gross are
being shipped to all parts of the globe
Europe, Asia, Africa, South America
and Australia. The "White Pulp Board
Works" of G. W. Roberts at Bennington
Falls, a short distance below, are doing
all that can be done upon orders, which
they are unable to wholly fill at present.
The grist mill of B. T. Henry at River
side is getting full share of custom.
reaching as it does into the Southwest
part of the town and over into portion
of the town of Hoosick. Mr.. Dolph.
who has leased the grist mill in the vii
lage, is extending the business of the
mill and bids fair to give it the popular
ity of earlier days. At either mill are
good Accommodations for everything con-
nected with the milling industry. The
Stereoscope and graphiscope works of
Henry Walbridge are worked to their
full capacity, and more goods have been
turned out this winter and are being
shipped this spring than ever before.
An industry which has grown up and
developed within few years into a solid
business is that of II. T. Cushman Manu-
featuring company, who have thrown
upon the market and are sending to all
parts of the country fancy towel, bat and
coats racks, easles, umbrella holders,
screens, of various kinds, music and
book racks, with large variety of other
articles, which add to the beauty and
sale of nice stocks of furniture in the
best establishments of the country and
cities. The concern employs two travel
ing statesmen, one who has spent the
winter in the south and is now west,
while the other is canvassing the New
England and Middle States. the Yer
mont mills cotton factory are now being
run in manufacturing yarn for use in
other mills, which depend on buying

Philadelphia. The stereoscope factory
of b. G. Surdam, near the railroad depot,
is not being driven to it's full capacity,
but as the business season approaches it
will undoubtedly be pushed with energy
There has been a dwelling built on Bank
street by Norman Colvin, which will be
ready for occupancy May LIST, which is
pleasantly located and will make nice
home. Ground is being broken for a
Baptist parsonage, just south of the
church, which will supply long needed |
want. The two-stOry wagon and black !
smith shop located east of the postoffice |
building has just been completed and is
for the purpose for which it |
was erected. The large clothing store |
which is being built by w. r. Worthing- |
ton on the foundationof the Huling store |
burned few years since is being plaster
ed, and with the plate glass front will |
make grand structure. Much is being |
done by the citizens generally to add to |
the present attractiveness of the village,
and several families have moved in to
take advantage of our excellent graded |
school, which is second to none in the |
State under the present management. |
Such, with the desirable advantages we |
have, being situaten on the main line of |
passing through the State, with |
good water power, not at present in use, |
