AN ENLARGED ENTERPRISE.
The National Fibre Board Co., the
largest corporation of the kind in the
world, with headquarters at los Lin
coin street, Boston, and works in va
rious places in New England, are now
owners of the pulp mill property here
and are to increase the business to a
considerable extent. The fibre board
is an entirely different thing than the
leather board that has been made
here; that is, it is in different form,
is handled differently, and will be cut
and moulded into counters at the
mill here. The leather board has been
used more in heel making. The COM
pany is wealthy one, composed of
some of Boston's first business men.
One, the last Republican candidate
for mayor of that city, is expected
here in a few days. The works here
are in charge of FL. M. Gordon, who,
with his wife, came from Lynn, Mass.
last week, and will make their perma-
nent home at The Randall. A large
amount of machinery has been I'M
loaded from the cars and taken to
the mill and Mr.. Gordon hopes to get
into running shape on or before the
first of November. Many changes
and improvements in the interior of
the building have been made. New
timbers have been put in from wheel
pit to roof, strengthening the build
ing and puttingit in thorough repair
Mr.. Gordon is not able to say as yet,
in regard to the number of hands
that may be furnished work, but it
will mean quite a help to our COM
munity, both male and female help
being employed.
