The Bellows Falls frequenters of Lake
Rescue, in Ludlow. during the summer
months will be interested to know that
w. B. Carpenter is this fall building
another new cottage on the point where
he already has four. This is to be ready
for occupancy at the opening of the sea-
son next June. About six years ago Mr.
Carpenter, who is a resident of Bellows
| Falls, bought the whole of one of the
most pleasant points extending into the
| lake, erecting a substantial and well fur
nished cottage on the extreme point.
He has since then built at different
| times three equally good cottages, all
| pleasantly located, and the demand has
| steadily increased. The past year all
were patronized to a greater extent than
ever before, largely by Bellows Falls
people. The increasing demand had call
ed for the building of this new cottage.
He has it in mind to build. at a later
date a cottage containing a large din
ing room for furnishing meals to the oc-
cupants of the cottages, that 1t may be
used on the cooperative plan. It is a
great convenience and pleasure to many
Bellows Falls people to have such an
! accessible and delightfully."- located sum-
mer resort so near. AS the place be-
| comes better known each year greater
facilities are required. Mr.. Carpenter is
seemingly making a good investment of
capital. Charles S. Gates of this place
has cottage on another point, and
there are several other cottages around
the lake owned by Ludlow people.
