and those who were most conservative in
observing the constitutional limitations,
are most interesting reading and serve to
dwarf and minimize the trials through
which the Republican party is now pass

from saying that the Brunswick-B Bake
Collender people will take over our
plant, I cannot now give any details"
The price, however. is known TO be
about $750, 900. The deal will be formal

Lake as a profitable field for investment
and for the location of a factory.

men will be employed at the factory in
the manufacture of pool and billiard
tables, supplies and equipment. and
that instead of shipping these supplies
in from the east the Brunswick firm
viii manufacture them on the ground,
