The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1894-04-17

Rodmau w. Bowker, of Mount Holly,
the second largest manufacturer of chill
dren's shoes in the United States, is hav-
ing placed in his factory four of the Lin
coin Turn Machines, manufactured by the
Campbell Machine Company, of Paw
tucket, Rhode Island.
Mr. Bowker has been using FIVE turn
machines of the Goodyear manufacture,
but the enormous royalty which he was
compelled to pay, caused him to look over
the field for something that would prove
more profitable to the manufacture. He
declares he has now found machine that
fully supplies that want, and for that rea-
son he quickly discarded the Goodyear
turner's.
During the past year Mr.. Bowker has
paid the Goodyear Company over $4,000
in ROYALTIES Oh their five machines, which
are leased for $3.50 each and a royalty of
one cent pair for children's shoes and
two cents a pair for larger sizes. The
Lincoln" is sold outright for $3.50, and
this change will leave Mr.. Bowker several
thousand dollars to the good in the course
OF year, besides the additional profit of
doing the work of the five "Goodyears"
on the four new "Lincolns".
Mr.. Bowker is quite enterprising in
having these machines erected in his fac
tory, which are the first set up this side
of Boston Some thirty-five have been
placed in the eastern states and are giving
excellent satisfaction.
James w. Meloon, the agent represent
ing the Campbell Company. says that or
ders are coming in faster than the ma
chimes can be supplied. consequently the
company is selecting its trade. He also
states that they are much more simple
than the Goodyear, pulling the lasting
tack while in the act of sewing, although
both use the same kind of needle.
Yesterday Lincoln" was put up in
the Mount Holly Shoe Company's factory,
and sometime during the present week,
]. F. Budd and r. F. Wood, the largest
shoe manufacturers of Burlington, are to
inspect those placed in the shop of Mr..
Bowker.
Mr.. Bowker is enthusiastic in being
able to save over $50 day in royalties
and as he expressed himself, 1T is just
what have been wanting for long tim G
and | didn't get 1t any too quick"
The Campbell Company has been in ex.
istence for many years, but the Lincoln
Turn is something entirely new, and is
destined to become very popular with
shoe manufacturers, although considerable
opposition is met with in its introduction
The company has an Office at 405 Arch
street, Philadelphia, or Mr.. MELON may
be consulted at the Washington House.

Convened last Tuesday Jonathan Go
BILE was foreman of the grand jury. There
were II civil suits on the calendar.

Norwood Parker, indicted for perjury
stated several points of law and prece-
dent, claiming that the "0yster planting
law" of 1886 does not apply to Little Egg

was part of Burlington county and not
of Ocean, and therefore moved that the
indictment be. quashed.

sideration whereupoD the def ndant
was bailed in 5000 security to appear for
trial at next September term.

zimmarman wan Ride a Star.

On Thursday last the II. B. Smith Ma
chine Company received a telegram from
Arthur Zimmerman, the champion bicy-
Gle rider, for the Star machine which this
company made for him some time since,
and on which he won some of his great
est victories. Unfortunately it had been
sold, so Mr.. Zimmerman wired back an
order for a new racer, the finest that can
be produced. The champion starts
for France on Wednesday, but the
completed. 1t will be used In the pro
fessional races, to which Mr.. Zimmerman
will hereafter give his sole attention. He
has been engaged by syndicate of sport
ing men in France for the coming year,
who will give him $4,000 at the opening
of the season, and $3.50 for every race
that he enters, win or lose, and the prob
abilities are that Mr.. Zimmerman will
realize about $4,000 during his engage
ment. The fact that he contemplates
using a Star wheel in his professional
racing augurs well for the machines made
at Smithville, and will no doubt cause
some of the other professional men to in
ouire into their merits. The Star motion
is the best movement on any bicycle yet
made, and the reason these machines are
not more popular, is because their grade
is so high that they cannot be manufac-
tured to compete with the low class OF
wheels. Secretary Burns says that the
Star bicycles, retained IN their present
standard of durability, can never be made
and sold for less than 800, no matter how
low the prices on other machines might

The announcement is made of the re
turn of Minnie Lester, the well-known
actress, who will be in our opera house
for three nights, beginning Thursday.
Miss Lester is surrounded by her own
company and carries superb silver band
and orchestra. Special scenery is carried
complete by the company and all the
plays, which are new, are put on in a
thoroughly tirst-class manner. Specialties
are introduced by members of the COM
pany, and Miss Lester, besides singing all
the latest 'hits" will give her celebrated
dances. A change of bill is promised
nightly and at the children's matinee,
Saturday, every child will receive useful
present free and be admitted to any part
of the house for ten cents. Thursday
night will be a special ladies' night; the
play will be the funny comedy drama, "a
Little Busy Body" Special scenery show
ing the Mississippi river by moonlight is
used in this play, and Miss Lester will
make thrilling leap through real glass
window. The prices for this engagement
are 10, % aud 35c and seats can be secured
at Jamison's. This company introduces
novelty in the way of advertising, or
rather not advertising. They do not use
any litographs or window work" of any
description. In this they follow the lead
of several managers in the larger cities
who believe that in abolishing this costly
and out of date method of advertising
they are enabled to place the money thus
saved to better advantage. By this
method better actors can be engaged and
a better performance given and at no
extra charge to the public. Miss Lester
this season carries "a people.

comic opera and grand opera, but his
abilities as an actor were quite unknown
until Mr.. Augustus Pitou, his manager,
struck by the physical goodness and the
quality of the young tenors voice, en-
gagged him to succeed poor w. j. Seaman
in the role of Torrance Dryer in MAY
ourneen." The result has justified Mr..
Pitou's sagacity as Mr.. Olcott has made a
most pronounced success as a delineator
of Irish character. His brogue is rich, his
humor most unctious, and the play itself
is one that carries with it human story

Monday night Miss Marlowe's engage
ment will be the anniversary of Shake
speare's natal day. and Manager Fred
Stinson and Mr. Frank Howe, of the Wal
nut Street Theatre, have combined to
make the occasion memorable one, and
to that end have had beautiful art por-
traits made of the George W. Childs'
memorial fountain erected by the late
philanthropist at Stratford-on-Avon. The
main picture will present the principal
elevation and their sides will be repro
duced in the margin so that complete
portrait of the work will be given to every
purchaser of two coupon seats. The en-
gagement is almost sure to be an almost
phenomenally successful one.
