y Last Thursday afternoon George Grant
Fitzgerald t"Pete') touched the button
in the shirt factory, and Immediately the
machinery was in operation. The first
shirt was made by Mr. George Cane that
afternoon and is now in theposseSsion OF
the Editor, and he will always have at
least one shirt Friday the actual work
Of the factory commenced, only a few of
the help being required it being the inten-
ton of the management 10 increase the
help weekly or as soon as a number get
proficient in the use of the sewing ma
chimes. The help employed on these
machines are instructed in their duties by
Miss I,ottic Plummer ofLeominster, who
has been in tie business Il long time under
Mr.. Cane, and Miss Plummer is assisted
by Mrs. LebOurvcau, another XpcricnCed
worker, consequently we can understand
very readily that the help is making good
progress in their work. A brief visit last
Tuesday morning revealed over twenty
machines going. The ventilation and
heating of the building is perfect The
management of the factory is vested in
E. Z. Gonya, a capable man, and one who
will devote his best energies to making
our new enterprise great success. "AIl
things come to him who waits" We
have waited long for this factory to start,
we have seen the drawbacks and difficult
les the management hayehad to encount-
er, but after all the shirt factory is re-
atty, it is here to stay and will be great
factor in further advancing the interests
of the town. May it have long season
of marked prosperity. We will have
more to say later and endeavor to give a
full description of the building, its ma
chinery, etc, and statistics as to work.

the money in the candy case was taken
and an effort made to open the money
drawer, but this latter was not success
full. The drawer contained a consider
able sum, and close by was another
drawer, unlocked, which also contained
a large sum of money and two gold
watches. This was overlooked. The tibet
used matches at different points III the
store, burning half dozen at the money
drawer, number where the rubbers are
kept, doubtless he was getting pair to
fit and several where the cotton shirts
