upon settlement and at the central
store they find the sign "Postofhce"
and that is all they do find. There is
nothing whatever to indicate or sug-
gest what postoffice it may be. The
postoffice department requires that
the sign "Postoffice" be put outside of

would prove most satisfactory to null
titudes of people. In a number of
places the postmasters have "sensed
the situation and have voluntarily put
the signs out, but this should be the
rule and not the exception.
The matter has been brought to the
attention of Postmaster General
Hitchcock and it is to be hoped that

Four large looms are now in opera
ton at the new Westerly Narrow
Fabric mill, nd,6more of the latest
Steere pattern will be installed as soon
as they can be constructed. At the
present high cost of raw material 1t is
perhaps just as well that the mill be
not equipped to capacity. There Is al
ways demand for the product and the
present output is practically sold before
manufactured, and unsolicited orders
are received almost daily. The Steere
looms can produce more goods and at a
less cost than any loom in operation,
and there is no limit to the variety of
narrow fabrics that can be produced
Illustrative of what the Steere looms
can produce was shown Monday, when
Mr. Steere displayed a handful of ex-

utes later was converted into a woven
necktie which was handed to Presi-
dent James A. Welsh, to wear a tie
