ports as follows in his paper Randolph
is one of the few towns in Vermont tina
has not felt the business depression
On every side you see evidences o
marked prosperity. There is not tene
ment to rent in town and very few places
for sale. The White Cross Milk Co. is
new industry that is making good and EN-
ploying more and more help, and usint
more and more milk every week, to NEE
the demand for it's product. The Sargent
Mfg. Co. of Csstleton has decided t.
move to Randolph and will consolidate
with the Osgood, Roundy Co., doubling
the business of that company. All tn
local industries that have been the pride
of the town in the past are busy. Bacl
of all is the richest farming section il
Vermont. With farmers receiving big
prices for all they have to sell, no won
