week and on Saturday, 10 company with
Will Wooden of Kalamazoo and Emory
Ball of Moonlight bait fame, wended
his way to some trout stream, the loca-
tion of which is carefully kept secret
by the trio. On his return IN the even

fire escape manufactured here. After a
thorough investigation, Mr.. c. w. Tenney,
who recently moved to Greensboro from
Barton, Vermont, decided to take up the
manufacture of the fire escape. He will
conduct his business at 214 E. Sycamore

is now enroute. Mr.. Tenney will be able
to make deliveries within the next 10 days.
Mr.. Ramsden spent five years or more per-
tecting his ladder, which is thoroughly
covered by patents in every detail. On
account of special patented machinery the
manufacturer is enabled to place these
ladders en- the walls OF the>buildings for q
little more than the cost of iron, and about
one half the cost of any iron ladder pre-
viously made.
A demonstration was given by the fire
department yesterday afternoon with the
result that Chief F. N. Taylor heartily
endorsed the fire escape as being highly
satisfactory in every respect and remarka.

A remarkable feature about the escape il
that it folds from the bottom up the wal
to point where it is out OF the way o!
traffic.
