We have taken fresh courage as
to the granite cutting industry in
our village since a visit last Tues
day. At the granite sheds belonging
to the estates of J. X. Lynde and G.
L. Lathrop and occupied by Ital-
ians. These sheds were first project
ed some years ago by the Edwards
Brothers, and a little later were
taken by the Elliott Brothers of
Mortified. They were finally bought
few years ago by the late Messrs
Lynde and Lathrop. A year or two
ago they were rented to an Italian
firm from out of town, which seems
to be doing a good business. And
now the two italian Brothers, Chas.
and Frank Passera, who have land
near the shed, have just put up a
building in which they have new
electric dynamo, and a new air
compressor, the largest one in our
village They have hired room in
the Lynde and Lathrop sheds of the
firm occupying them, and with the
aforesaid dynamo and air compress
sor they would seem to be we'll pre-
pared for a good business. We wish
them great success.
