1t is with some feeling OF satisfaction
that the United States Trade Reports sees
a vindication OF former endorsements or
worthy firms and meritorious articles. we
have always given careful attention TO
inquiries received from subscribers and
to furnish them with reliable Information
on any desired subject free of charge. The
Reports has the largest circulation
OF any trade journal of its class In the
country, and no other publication could
afford to maintain such large stan OF
experienced reporters to make these ex-
pensve Investigations in the interest or
it's readers.
About six months or so ago we received
Inquiries in which we were asked to rec
ommend the best make Of hosiery, and to
state where same could be obtained. We
| fully realized the Importance OF the sub
| ject, and the confidence which would be
reposed in our answer. We made care
| full and thorough investigation locally,
| also referred the matter to our represen-
| tatives In all the principal cities, and
| found that the hosiery made by the Brat
! teboro Manufacturing Co., OF Brattle-
| boro, VT, was conceded to be the best.
We made editorial commentator accord
ingly.
| only recently we received many similar
| inquiries from others Of our readers, and
| to verify the correctness OF our former
recommendation we placed the matter
| in the hands of other Of our reporters
| and investigators who knew nothing OF
| our former endorsement, and after the
most exhaustive research, they, also, have
| reported in favor OF the hosiery manu-
featured by the Brattleboro Manufacture
ing Co. of Brattleboro, VT, which proves
| conclusively that this hosiery Is doublS
worthy OF adoption and use by all, and
also that the trained reporters Of the Re
| ports never do anything by halves.
The members OF this company are vel
| known for business tact and enterprise
as well as sterling integrity. and theiI
standing commercially is OF the highest
| order. They owe the great success OF
| their business to their prompt and careful

have built up a reputation second to nons

Village Water supply, Is Owned by For
est & Stream Club.
The village Of Wilmington has finally
decided to provide a public water sys-
TEN, after having agitated the scheme
for several years. The recent S25. 900 fire
there, largely for want OF adequate water
facilities, stirred the people to immedi-
ate action and the result promises one Of
the most complete water systems in the
state, with fall Of several hundred feet
and adequate for hydrant purposes which
could be effectively used without require
ments OF a steamer or hand engine. II is
proposed TO tap Haystack pond, nat
ural reservoir, four miles or so from the
village. the water OF which will be con-
veyed in iron pipes to distributing res
ervoir OF large capacity on a farm above
the village A committee has already
made a preliminary survey to determine
the probable cost OF the system. which IL
placed at $50. 900. But this contemplated
the taking OF Haystack spring. known
as Crystal spring. and subsequently. II
this proved inadequate. water from the
Haystack pond. 1t turns out. however
that the Forest and Stream club of Will
mington holds a deed to the land sur
rounding the spring. as well as that on
either side OF the stream. flowing there
from. and that the club which is COM
posed OF some so members. prominent
residents OF various sections OF the
country, objects to the plan to divert the
waters OF the spring from their regular
course, which supplies a large pond that
the club has constructed as a fish pre-
serve. besides the domestic privileges en-
joyed by the club. the water being piped
to the club house. the source supplying
several smaller privileges. all OF which
the club proposes to utilize in the near
future, and without which, II is claimed,
the club property would lose much OF its
value as a summer resort. 1t is con-
tended that the spring itself would hardly
furnish sufficient supply to the village Of
Wilmington. while II would deprive the
club OF its supply OF the best water TO be
found in that section OF the Green noun
tains. OF course the promoters OF the
water scheme expect to pay damages to
the club. but even this does not satisfy
the membership. and unless II can be

Will seek to restrain the village through
