Brighter Outlook for the National
Rubber Factory.
How Mem rial Sunday vii Be Observed.
Notes About Town.

The annual election of the United States
Rubber Trust, which took place Wednes-
day in New York, may be very beneficial
10 the National lndia Rubber Company
here as the newly elected PRESIDENT MIR.
Frederick VI. Sheppord, Is large stock
holder in this company, ana also has
nephew permanently located here as gem
eral sales agent. Mr.. Shepperd has al
ways been favorably impressed with this
factory dealing largely in many kinds
of goods manufactured during twenty
odd years of the running OF Its operation
by ex-Gov. A. o. BourD, who was its
founder. MIR. Shepperd and the governor
were friends and remained so mp 10 tEe
present time. Another very important
feature which goes TO guarantee u
brighter outlook Is that President Shep-
perd has branch stores from his New
York headquarters in all the principal
cities i'm the United States and deals en-
tirely in the class of goods that are man
ufactured here 1t is more than probable
through his management of the affairs of
the trust that his interest To great eX
tent will be cenJered here. With all OF
these advantages it may certainly be as
sured that this shop Will receive a liberal
share of the patronage OF the trust. The
moment that It vas officially known that
tire trust had elected -fef-its president
Mr. L. NJ Shepperd feeling was mani
fest at once that the outlook was brighter
here for good seasons work.
The reports that have been so often
spoken of IN the papers relative 20 the
Bristol factory making bicycle tires and
giving number employment have no
foundation 80 far as appears at present.
