Remington Mav Lose Them.
Insurance adjusters from 10 different
companies were in Bennington Wednes-
day and Thursday on business connected
with the settlement of the losses sustain
cd ia the recent destruction of the Unity
Collar and Cuff company mill at North
Bennington, says the correspondent ofthe
St. Adams Messenger No settlement
was reached, but it is understood that
the matter is in such a shape that a
settlement will soon be made. Appear
ances indicate that the plant will not be
rebuilt and it is considered very doubt
td If the company resumes operations
again. Inducements have been offered
from North Adams to have the plant
located there, but it is not considered at
all likely that it will be. If the concern
resumes it will probably be in the YER
mont mills, for a long time idle, in North
Bennington village. Nearly all of the ex.
perienced hands have secured employment
with the new shirt and collar factory in
Bennington village. The H. T. Cushman
Manufacturing company of North Ben
nington have received and have under
consideration, fattering offer from
a city in Ohio to locate there. The
concern is one OF the largest in the town,
and its departure from the place would
be a serious blow to the prosperity OF
North Bennington village, which has al
ready received one.
