Grinnell, March 14.-Joseph Person,
of Pleasant township, aged 20 years,
died on Tuesday last and the funeral

The Spaulding Manufacturing COM

precautions taken against the POSSIBLE
ity of fire in the factory by installing
a system of automatic sprinkling and a
fire alarm that will help to locate the
fire and save time in getting the COM
pany there to fight it. With these ADDED
appliances they will be as well fitted
to prevent and to fight fires as any es-
tablishment of that size and character
could we'll be.
