WOOL IS TURNED
INTO SNOWDR|FTS
MACHINERY AT D0LGEvILLE
CREATES FELT
over 1900 Pairs of Shoes Are Made
Each Day and 5000 Pounds of
Material Turned Into Fin
ished Product

Dolgevile, one of the creations of
Henry f. Huntington, is worthy a
visit, as 1t now ranks among the lead
ing manufacturing towns on the Pa
cifc coast and enjoys the peculiar dis
tinction of being able to care for the
wool shorn from the backs Of Southern
California sheep, of which 5000 pounds
are used daily, and converting the pro-
duct into shoes and slippers of felt that
are displayed in the windows of Los
Angeles dealers.
Within a 10-cent car far limit of
Los Angeles, this thriving suburb is
the home of the Dodge felt industry,
the machinery for which now occupies
the old and once famous Shorb winer-
les. The old brick buildings are now
converted into modern shops in which
have been installed machinery valued
at scores of thousands of dollars.
The capacity of the Dodge felt works
is placed at 1900 pairs of shoes day,
and this output will be maintained for
the next seven months. In fact to
meet the demand of the factory five
carloads of new machinery is being
placed and additional carloads are
being unloaded. Fully to realize what
this enormous capacity means the fact
should be understood that lis varieties
of shoes and slippers are being manu-
factured.
Wool by the ton is gathered and
washed in tubs, that, having auto
matte fingers and dryers, send the
cleaned product, white as snow,
through hundreds of feet of tubing to
the solar dryer where in the sunlight it
glistens with softest whiteness.
Finally the cleaned wool is torn and
shredded and woven into the simmer
ing glints of the thinnest sheets and,
forming great rolls of fluffy product, is
pressed and forced into felt, the only
adhering element being the fiber of the
WOOL Intricate and ingenious machin-
cry does the work of man, and the
marvel is apparent when the finished
product for piano and commercial pur-
poses is exhibited.
Just one year ago The Herald an
nounced that Dolgeville had been Gre
ated by Henry E. Huntington, and in
that delightful spot on the Alhambra
line, close TO the foothills of the Sierra
Madre, with snow-capped Old Baldy

tory with Mt. Lowe in full view, sur
rounded by everlasting green and or
ange groves, the town has grown until
$4,000 worth of property has been
sold, and over $125,00O has been invest

In speaking of Dolgeville, S. J. White,
the selling agent for the Huntington

What attracts the homeseeker Is
