Now, inquiry shows that the manu-
facturer who talked with our fellow eiti-
zen has been in business in Maine for
several years, that his factory has been
running all of the time, he has had no
trouble from strikes, no serious breaks in
machinery, but on the contrary has had %
ve-y successful run in business.
TO overcome this slight objection TO
coming to Maine it Is only necessary -
say that all shoe machinery in the small
parts Is made with duplicate parts and all
well regulated establishments keep spare
parts on hand and Ivy the assistance Of the
local lnachini-r. If there j. not one con

citizens intend having a shoe factory hut
who will operate it is not yet decided"
The distance Of the factory from the
shoe iobbers does not weigh against the
establishment Of shoe factory in any
town in Maine. Shoes are not poultry or
bananas next summers shoes are being
made this winter and there is always time
