4 The Middletown Mfg Co., has not
Ibeen so busy at this season of the year
since the plant was established about IL
years ago. The factory has sufficient
|orders to keep them busy until August
lst, at which time they will begin on
work for the spring of 1908. The force
of operators has increased more than 20
per cent during the past three or four
weeks, and Mr.. Burgess informs us he
has more to come.
Messrs. a. T. Bradley & Son have re-
ceived the contract to erect double
dwelling on the corner of Main and Scott
streets for Mrs. F. A. Comegys. The
dwellings, will have all the moderR con-
veniences and each house will have II
rooms. Bathrooms, electric lights and
cellar heaters will be among the conven-
fences. The building win be 4Ox48 feet
in size with front and side porches, and
win be when completed, a great improve
ment to that section of our town.
There is move on foot to organize a
base ball club for this season in Middle
town, and the only draw back is to Sc
cure suitable grounds. It always has
been a difficult matter to get field pro-
perly located, yet we have one of the
best base ball towns in the State, and
good material to select irst-class club
from. We trust this obstacle may be
overcome, and that our town may be rep
resented on the diamond this season with
club equal to the one of 1901.
Mr.. F. Fl. Burgess has rented one half
Of the Comegys' building on West Main
street for the Capitol Shirt Co. The
building will be used as storage and
stock room. This was necessitated by the
constantly increasing business of the new
Company, which was organized last 0c-
tober to supply the retail trade. Messrs
D. L. Robertson, of Glen Falls, N. Y,
and F. H, Burgess, are the proprietors of
the above named firm, and have enjoyed
a large amount of business during the
past few months. They lave officers
at ia Franklin street, NewYork City,
and 121 Fremont street, Boston, and
Glen Falls, New York. Possession will
be taken of their new building about
June 1st, next.
