CONSOLIDATION POSSIBLE
OF the Bloomfield Shoe Co. Of Skowhegan
With the Commonwealth Co.

SkoWhegan. May 5.-(SpeciaD.-
George B. Stafford, the manager of the
Bloomfield Shoe Co, in an interview.
today, said that there is possibility
of the Bloomfield and Commonwealth
Shoe COS. consolidating. This move
will probably be made if the Common
wealth Shoe Co. decides to locate in
this place. Since a week ago the
prominent business men in the plac"
have been trying To raise money with
which the debt on the building occu-
pied by the Bloomfield co. may be paid.
In addition To paying the debt with The
money il is planned to make the re
pairs on the building which are asked
for by the Commonwealth co. The
manager of the company stated that
the business men are not trying to
raise the money now. having for the
time being given up the work.
In speaking Of the probable fate Of
the Bloomfield Co. in case the Com
monwealth co. should locate here he
said that if the Commonwealth co.
should locate here it is probable that
the two companies will combine. that
is the smaller company Will be m rrged
into the larger. This he said would not
affect the Bloomfield Co. except that
the Bloomfield Co. will manufacture n
better class of goods than at the pres
ent time. The shoes manufactured by
the Bloomfield 90. are not Of the high
est grade but in case Of the consolida-
ton the two companies Will manufac-
turc the same kind of a shoe. that Is
the Goodyear welt. There is, he
said. "A probability that Of the two
companies do come together the
Bloomfield 90. will employ 4 smaller
number Of men than at the present
time"
There is 4 feeling among the bust
ness men at the present time that the
Commonwealth Go. Will decide 70 To-
cate plant here. Although the
bloomfield 90. has not been doing a
paying business for some little time in
the past. yet at the present time tn"
company is making money and is in
Il good financial condition. In case oi
the consolidation Mr.. Stafford will prob
ably remain with the company as one
of the managers.
