have dealt with the original enemies
of the enterprise! The very ones who
swore the loudest and kicked the
highest have in each fire that has
come since the hydrants were put in
been saved serious losses by the wa
ter works. Tuesday, with brisk
wind sweeping up the river, would
have been a dangerous day for the
manufacturers and business men of
this village if we had not had a very
powerful and effective water system.
The Lyndon Union, which assumes
to run great deal of the business of
st. Johnsbury, is scoring the Board of
Trade. In a recent article it said:
"Had the board employed practical
business talent at the time the Peer
less Overall Company applied for ad
mission, the little village of Barton
would not have been able to gobble
up the concern, but it would have
been located in st. Johnsbury, en-
ploying a couple of hundred of hands,"
It will be surprise to the Peerless
Co., at least, to learn that it's business
is the making of overalls. The COM
pany was too wise to be "gobbled up"
in any place where the facilities for
doing business were not the best.
