Another fact that came to my no.

mills in this village is second to none
made on earth; the yarn, workmanship
and finish all being perfect before the
goods are offered for sale. Charles
Gamble, the manager of the plant, is
England. A few weeks ago he saw a
pair of curtains on exhibition In
store window at Providence, r. J.,
marked "s48." Those curtains were
made from ten yards of cloth woven
by Mr.. Gamble at the mill here, and
sold TO tho Rhode Island firm for ID
cents per yard, or $1.30 for the pair
of curtains What kind of a tariff law
could reduce the price of those cur
