WOOL CNMttNG FINS.
 MT. John NJ. Dean, manufacturer of wool-eombing pins, was in the city last week Wednesday, looking over his new manufacturing building prepara- tory to putting in the varied machinery to carry on his special class of manu- featuring. His main building is 54xl10 feet, and the boiler house Is 5oxso feet, each built of brick, and together oecu- pying plot of about an acre of ground. Among the machinery is a 100 horse power Producer Gas Engine, which furnishes power at cost of not over 9 per cent of that of steam engine.
 Mr. Dean was accompanied by Judge l.. H. Fuller, who was one of the eiti- zens who was instrumental in getting MT. Dean to locate his manufacturing business in Putnam, which has been heretofore carried on at Lowell. Mr. Dean told the Judge that he was great ly pleased with the excellent work done by the builder l.. NJ. Wheaton.
 He also told the Judge he will be glad when he gets his works started in Put nam. which will be about the middle of May. His business is good and was never better in the month of February. He will bring to the city skilled work men, who will need houses fer their families. He will also give employ ment to men in this city, and no doubt to young beginners. The business will be an important accession te our many industries. Judge Fuller and all our citizens. are greatly impressed with the excellent bearing of MT. Dean and his high business character. He will be gladly welcomed as permanent citi- zen.
 PIANO HARDWARE AND AUTOMOBILE
 SUPPLIES.
 In the top floor of the Dorsey X Bone building, in a large room, filled with variety of fine machines, piano hard- ware and automobile supplies are ma- nufactured by H. l.. Hanson, quite . young man, although he has a wife and two children. He started business there last July, coming from Worces. ter the same time as Messrs. Dorsey X Bone, for whom he does a lot of fine small hardware work. His end of the floor suffered little damage from the fire, and his business was suspended only about two weeks while the ad. justers were settling the insurance. The variety of tiny pieces of brass and iron manufactured for pianos snd automo- piles are marvellous in their perfect fin- ish and beauty, some being no larger than an eighth of an inch with pro- jecling shank, and others without the latter, looking like little pieces of bright iron until closely examined and seen to be finely wrought articles.
 He has six skilled workmen, one be- side himself coming from Worcester with their families. He has plenty of orders from the large cities, and is gra- tified with his location, and likes the city and the people. So he feels pleas- ed and contented with his new home and business.
 HANDLES AND PICKER STICK MANu-
 FACTORY.
 The large building on corner of School and Corbin streets, heretofore known as the Fisher & Co. shoe shop, will be known hereafter as the Dorsey X Bone Chisel Handle Manufactory building. Last October the building was injured by fire, the interior, above the base ment was gutted by the fierce flames, but the rest of the building was saved as by miracle, by the prompt action of the firemen, the building being saved with no great damage. Messrs. Dorsey & Bone then bought the proper ty and have had it thoroughly repaired and now occupy the entire basement for the manufacture Of chisel handles and picker sticks.
 One might we'll imagine from the names of the articles manufactured that the business was small affair. While the articles made are small, the number of them are immense, as the special machinery 10 do the work turns them out complete with great rapidity.
 Whsn they were burnt out last fall, Messrs. Dorsey X Bone had six skilled men employed; now they have ten four of whonphase come from other places with their families. New ma chinery has recently been bought 10 meet the increased demand for their goods, which they sell direct to the nufactures, and they look for . con- tinued increase of business. They have orders booked that will keep them busy two months without new orders. The proprietors are much pleased with their location, and could not desire more convenient business spot for their needs. Both Of the proprietors, may be found, with their sleeves rolled ups at their place Of business, We are glad to know that they have found this city . good place for their business and that it is increasing and permanent.
