will be installed at the mill of The
Vermont Hosiery and Machinery Com
pany at Bennington this week. The
increase has been made necessary by
the larger number of orders for goods
that the firm has recently received,
and by the prospect of a continuance
of orders. The knitting mill of H. h.
Bradford 4 Co. will shut down Satur-
day evening for about two weeks, in
order to put in two boilers of go horse
power each. 1t was the Intention OF
the company to shut down two months
ago, but it could not be done on
account of the rush of business.
Beginning Monday, the Fairbanks
Scale Company of st. Johnsbury, will
begin running half time which is an
nounced as temporary arrangement,
there being no lack of orders ahead.
1t is also said that this arrangement is
not due to local conditions but because
of the difficulty of converting accounts
receivable, which today are larger than
at any previous period, into money for
immediate use. The company employs
1900 hands and its weekly payroll often
exceeds $4,000.
