IT IS GETTING BUSY
Belongs New Enterprise Now
Hustling.
Fargo g. Co. shoe Factory II Turning
Out Number of Pairs of shoes
Daily-New Help Makes IL slow
at First.

Our reporter paid a visit to the new
shoe factory Monday and found that
enterprise in a very good shape for
the advancement and completion of
work along the line of shoe making.
Mr. G. .B. Fargo, the genial young
man in charge of the factory took
the reporter in tow and showed him
through the factory from one end to
the other and showed the practical
work of shoe making in a large fac
tory, beginning with the cutting
room and ending with the finished
product.
The force at present is not very
large but will be increased as rapidly
as possibly explained Mr.. Fargo.
You see, of course, that in br reaking
in new help, it would not be a good
thing to break in too many at once.
Our foreman has TO be omnipresent
during the process of instruction and
he of course is very busy man.
Some of the help are taking rapidly
to their new work and will doubtless
in a short time be able TO earn good
wages at piece work. We aim 10
place our help on piece work rs soon
as possible and feel that we can get
better results from the help and that
they can earn better wages as soon
as they are able to begin that way.
The factory already has a large
number of pairs of shoes ready for
the market and will soon begin the
shipping of the products of their fac
tory. Mr. Fargo says that they have
a large mum Der of shoes now ordered
and are anx ious 20 I'll the orders as
fast as possible.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Green Bay, Wis, Dec. % James
Kyrie McCurdy, the popular actor, in
this play, THE Old Clothes Man"
made big hit at the Green Bay
theater in the presentation of the
play. The popular Milwaukeean por-
trayed the peculiar character, Solo
mon Levy, the old clothes vender.
The drama is simple, and the events
follow in natural sequence with great
effect. The changes are rapid, and
while surprising, are not mystifying.
The star has surrounded himself with
strong company, and the piece fur
nishes an excellent vehicle for the
display of the favorite
The special effects are the Saliva
tion Army doing its good work, the
marriage in the snow, and the sensa-
tional "Yiddish Twist" in which Mr..
McCurdy illustrates its use in place
of the jiu jitsu, the Japanese method
of self-defense. Mr.. McCurdy re-
sponded to many curtain calls during
the presentation of the piece Mil
