What Next?

-"We lead, others try to follow" is becom-
ing more and more in evidence every day at
the lumber yards of VIM. Phillips Sons in
this city. Their latest innovation Is the in
PRODUCTION of genuine wood splitter, some
thing entirely out of the ordinary in this
locality. Curiosity has prompted many to
inspect this new and novel piece of mechan-
ism, and the facility with which wood is
split after being sawed in stove lengths,
which is quickly done by large saw that
constitutes part of their outfit, enables them
to turn out quite number of cords of wood
daily and at II considerable saving in price
to consumers over the old time method of
the hand-saw and axe. We are glad to know
their efforts are being appreciated in fair
share of patronage. The large stacks of
wood reaching skyward already stored at
their lumber yards furnish the most tangible
evidence that if they have not already con-
tracted, they are at least making extensive
preparations, to supply the town the coming
winter. However, there is more or less wood
used now, and if convenience and low pri-
ces are any inducement, you should register
as one of their army ofpatrons. Drop around
and leave half or dollar as n sample Or
der and you will be surprised at the pur-
chasing power it has in the product turned
out by the introduction of the above ma
chinery.
