Augusta will have no need for the
liccr Sc for boot blacks. as is con
templated in Bangor, as the Capital
city is really rather badly off in this
regard. Occasionally there is one at
the railroad station, but he is changed
50 often that none seem to stay long
enough to be able to learn to do a good
job. The Cony House has an expert,
while one in Morril's barber shop also
does an occasional job for regular
patrons, but other than this the city
is not especially well fitted with them.
one never sees genuine bootblack on
the street with his kit" over his
shoulder as in other cities, and so the
Augusta people either have to search
for an empty bootblack chair or shine
their own shoes.
