BRooKFIELD's JOY.
John Clancy of Hoston Soon to Start
Burt's Shop


Burts Shop.
BrooBfield, Nov 2S-John Mulcahy
of the Brokfield board Of trade has
succeeded in getting a boot and shoe
firm to come here to occupy Burt's
shop. The boot manufacturer is John
Clancy of Holliston. Mr.. Clancy
promises to conduct his entire indus
try in the Burt plant, and he will be-
gin operations there by February l..
The boot and shoe shop was built for
ty years ago by Kimball & Robinson.
The floor space Of the shops is about
two acres. The main building stands
on Central street, and the engine is 125
horse power. The shops are all equipped
with shafting. The shops have been
closed four years, Tyler & Moulton be-
ing the last ones to occupy it. The G..
H. Moulton shops have been the only
industry in Brookfield for four years.
Some excitement was caused in the
town today when it became known that
Mr. Clancy shortly before deciding TO
locate here, received an anonymous let
ter purporting to come from a resident
Of this place, and advising the man
ufacturer not to locate here. The let
ter referred in a disparaging manner
of the town and its business possibili-
ties The letter is now in the hands
of Rev. FIR. Murphy. The police have
become acquainted with the circum-
stances in the case and it is possible
that an attempt to locate and repri-
mand the offender may be made.
