season is the building where the business
Of the Crystal Springs Bottling Co" is
carried on. Sixteen men and girls are

which are kept busy during the season
carving the bottles back and forth.
This does not include the barrels, the
Kola Ray boxes and other means OF
shining. The Kola Rays is new
dr;nk put on the market by this com
many last fall and is meeting with good
success. Last year the company sold
* 600 dozens of bottles OF ginger ale
and expect this year to 60 by that num-
her. Ginger ale and orange phosphate
are the best sellers. The average sale of
the last month, May, was the best of
any similar month in the four years of
the company's existence. June starts off
little dull OH account of the cool
weather but it has enabled the company
TO get a good stock on hand which will
quickly disappear with few days Of
warm weather. A new agency has lately
been established in Brockton, Mass,
which is placing large quantity OF the
goods. Agencies in Concord and Man
CHESTER, N. H.. are also rushing the bust

the business, the $1,000 pump put in last
year being valuable addition to the
machinery.
