Child Lameer Corporation.
HANDLE AND TICKER STICK MASu-
 FACTORY.

X few moaths age, in giving state ment of the various new industries that had recently started and were about 10 start, we, mentioned the industry that the Child Lumber Corporation were to start this fall. At the head of the Lumber Corporation, as Manager, Is Chester E. Child, who. although born in Woodstock. has grown up and has received his education in this city. He Is young man of unblemishcd char acter, large talents for business and Is cnterprising. Such young men-and we have quite good number of them, quiet and unostentatious. of good busi- ness ability --are soon to be prominent In the administration of the AffAirs of this city and town.
 MT. Child began his business life In the First National Bank of this city, but finding . sedentary calling not suited to his health, he chose for an outdoor life that of numbering. It was no long before he had built large and flourishing business. He then or ganizcd 1t into corporation.
 While finding markets for the dispo- sal Of his lumber, as a thoughtful aud keen observer, he naturally studied to learn the esto whichfit was applied, and soon found out the various useful artilces into which it was transformed. He then came to the conclusion that 1t would be,more profitable for himself to turn his lumber into some one or more of the marketable articles to which it was being turned by others. That was at once settled.
 The next step in his line was what class or kind of articles il was best and safest to begin manufacturing. That re quired careful and thoughtful study, until that was finally satisfactorily set tied.
 The next, and last step but one, was to get his manufacturing plant. That required time and close study, for his purpose was to eventually manufac- ture as many kind Of articles as possi- ble with the same, or about the same, machines he started with. That was also finally settled to his satisfaction. By this time several years had been employed to bring his plans to perfec- ton. The final and concluding need WAS to secure a mechanic skiIlful and in every way fitted 10 manage and oversee the complicated machinery of his manufactory. That was fortunate Iy settled while he was purchasing the various machines he had hxed upon. He had also, in the meantime, set- tied upon hts location. This he found in the first floor of the Hammond Hall
 formerly used for n coal depst--which he leased this fall, when he began to fit II ap to make il as perfect us possI- ble for manufacturing purposes, with plenty of room and an abundance of light. This we fully described in our former article, and it is unnecessary to be repeated, as all who desire to can witness il for themselves. The finish ing has not been completed, but the machinery is now in full operation, having just been started. IL will not interfere with the work or workmen to sac the machinery in operation.
 It will be an ideal manufactory when the improvements are all finished, which are now going on.
