Every precautionary measure TO provide
against fire will be taken, in accordance
with the general policy observed by the
Graphophone 90 in respect to its other
buildings
The proportions of the graphophone
business has assumed may be inferred
from the fact that the buildings COM
posing the factory's plant now cover
about one half of the city block owned
by the company and in which more than
thousand men and women are en-
ployed.
With the advent of the Columbia
Disc Graphophone, the general business
has become more active than ever, and
up 10 this time there has been no dull
season. There are many reasons for this,
chief among which Is that while other
talking machine manufacturers have ex.

the public have never been supplied
with machines Of that type that were
not noisy and undesirable or with disc

candidates in the field he had deemed 1t
his duty to refrain from interfering.
But with all united on Gen Alger, his
duty was very clear, and before mid
night on Saturday he sent telegram to
Gen. Alger rendering him the appoint

was the political history in Michigan
made more rapidly or satisfactorily TO

man of national reputation and no bet

shoes of the late Senator Mcmillan. 1t
will be an honor TO the whole state TO
