clear, true tone AS matter OF fact
every bell sounds five notes, all of
which must blend together harmo-
niously. If one is the least bit out the
tone will be spoiled. The first of these
notes is produced by the vibrations at
the mouth OF the bell, the second by
the vibrations little higher up, the
third still higher up, and so on to the
fifth, which is produced quite near the
top. AS the character OF the sound
which rings depends upon the thick

There isn't q part of any of the toys
that come from Winchendon which is
not made there. From the raw material
to the alluring finished product every
portion of the work of manufacture is
done in the same place by clever hands
and machinery designed cunningly and
specially for one particular function.
Painting, cutting. printing, lithograph-
ing, polishing, pasting-everything is
done in the Winchendon factory
This is the way a horse is made.
First it is a tree. The toy factory is
supplied by its own mills from it's own
forests with pine and chestnut and
maple. The tree is sawed into planks
Of considerable thickness These are
cut up into blocks OF about a couple
OF feet in length.
Those blocks that are absolutely
clear of knots go into one pile to be
cut up for toys which require perfect
wood The rougher blocks make the
bodies of the rocking horses. Three
glued together form the first rough
foundation, and from this shapeless
bulk grows the nicely rounded body of
the horse.
There is a machine that Is almost
human for this sharpening. The body of
a wooden horse revolves at one end
OF 1t. and each revolution so regulates
the knives at the other end OF the
machine that they cut out the block
of wood the exact counterpart of the
perfect original. No man need watch
IL except in placing the block I'm posi-
ton and taking ii off when finished.
The machine does the work as though
possessed of human intelligence.
similar machine turns out the
legs OF the animals A perfectly cut
model guides the knives to cut from
the rough wood counterpart.
Machines also make the heads-with
the single exception of one feature.
That is the lines about the nostrils.
No machine can do this work, and an
expert with a file finishes the nostrils
OF each head. Then the body, head and
legs are put together.
After that couple OF men polish the
newly born horses until their surfaces
are smooth as velvet. by means OF sand
belts. TO prevent the pitch in the wood
from ever coming out and spelling the
