A THRIVING INDUSTRY.

The AzleZone Company is doing a
good business. They have already
shipped this year 100 dozen cans of
this remarkable moth exterminator
to wholesale and retail houses in
Boston, Portland, Providence, New
Haven, Rochester, Syracuse and Buff
falo. Some idea of this company
and it's business no doubt will be of
interest to our readers.
A few years ago a solution was
discovered that would exterminate
the buffalo bugs and moths which
were so destructive to woolen goods,
carpets especially. Wherever placed
on sale it proved good seller and
was disposed Of quickly. With the
assurance OF the past and confidence
in the future, it was thought best to
organize stock company and push
the business. Accordingly early in
the winter stock was issued amount
ing to $4,000, par value ofeach share
being $25. OF this, 20 shares were
retained as treasury stock to be used
only in case of need. OF the remain
$2500, all has been disposed of at
par value, except six shares which
are for sale. The company was in
corporated last February and these
are the officers:
President, O. H. Henderson; vice
president, T. c. Fletcher; secretary
c. E. Gray; treasurer, 6. E. Woods
general manager, A. c. Randall
The liquid is manufactured in the
rear part of the Randall block or
Railroad street. Two men are KEEP
busy compounding, filling the cylin
ders, which are manufactured by
John Farnham, painting, labelling
packing and getting the article ready
for shipment. Manager Randall il
confident of sale OF 200 gross thi
season and believes that the stool
we'll pay ten per cent dividend tn
first year.
