was at its height we did greater business
than AT any other time. This sounds para
doxical, but the solution can IL easily found.
In the large cities OF the country there were
thousands OF men out OF employment and
inordert o give them work the municipalities
undertook TO have great deal ot sewer
work attended to. We were rushed with
orders, our factories We're going night and
day, while houses in other lines of business
were daily failing all around us. We have
twepty-three factories represented in the
central association, md most VI these are

do not compete with them SO long as they
do not interfere with our trade in the rest
