The shoe factory is sold. AT the auction
the 18th, there was only one bid offered.
That was made by VIM. F.Davis for Il 700.
As this sum barely covered the mortgage
on the property and as one OF the direct
ors was absent, 1t was thought best to adj
journ the sale; which was done with Mr..
Davis offer open until the other director
could be seen on his return. The final de-
cision was to let it go at S1,700. We I'M
derstand that associated with Mr.Davls In
the purchase are c. F. Smith OF Topsham
and E. ID. Barnes. Twenty Thousand dol
lars OF our peoples money has gore down
stream in the Bell Shoe Co., but the prop
erty was valueless to the stockholders as
it was, therefore II was better to sell 1t
now and close the matter up. What is go
ing to be done with 1t now ? is question
often asked. There are rumors OF an elec-
trio plant, factories, mills, etc., etc. Some
thing will move there, rest assured. But |
