A Wonderful Story Of tho oIsnwood

For more than a hundred years
Taunton, Massachusetts, has been fam

handed down. father to son, for gen.
Grafton after generation. And yet,
mention Taunton today. and the mind
pictures Glenwood Range. Just
thirty-two years ago three young men
started making stoves In barn at
Taunton. One was designer and
pattern maker. one foundry boss.
the third a skilled molder. They all
turned carpenter long enough TO add
a shed to their barn In order TO &C
commodate their melting furnace.
II the casts came through all right.
their output ran up TO four ranges a
day.
One OF the first claims ever made
by the Glenwood makers Is set forth
In the phrase "Glenwood Makes Cook.

Not until I was safely aboard the

time to try to puzzle it out.

The houses which stretched away on

air Of dignity and quiet. which be-
speaks wealth and leisure. Here was
no gaudy architecture, no f1amboyant
flourish OF the newly rich; rather the
evidence OF families long settled in
their present surroundings and long
accustomed to the luxuries Of a Gull
tured and generous existence.
But it was to the house directly be-
fore us that I gave the closest scrutiny.
1t was a large one. two-storied, with
q wide veranda running across the en-
tire front. 1t stood we'll back from the

was something ghostly about the de-
