In Lawrence. Many stories are told
of Woods abilities as q salesman. He
Invented the wrinkle Of showing his
goods made UP into suits, instead of
showing them in the piece The idea
proved tremendously effective. show
ing. as It did, exactly how the goods
would look in the form in which they
were to, be used. He also devised a
way OF mixing coarser woods with the
finer fleece 80 that he was able to un-
dersell competitors sharply. In many

Wood became assistant manager,
then superintendent Of the Washington
mill This was in 1890, six years after
DR.. Aver had taken the mill over Cor
debt. AS superintendent. young Wood
was constantly in social relations with
DR.. Aver and his family, and finally he
married the doctors daughter. They
now have four children.
From then on Wood acquired sue
cessive millions, presidencies and d.
rectorships, estates and yachts. Last
summer in an automobile case he tes-
titled that he did not know how many
automobiles he owned nor how many
secretaries he employed.
Wood lives at No. q Fairfield street.

New Bedford His mother and his 9TH
er sister moved to Woburn. Mass, sew
eral years ago.
Woods trial will come probably in
November. District Attorney Peletier,
who has the case in hand. expresses
confidence that he will place the wool
trust head behind the bars. Wood him
self. however, takes the matter as a
Joke, as do many others here and at
Lawrence. They point out that Pelle-
tier Is now running for governor, and
argue that the arrest OF Wood was sim
ply a ruse on the part OF Pelletier to
get the workingmen's votes.

A. Beavais offered him a position
In his newly formed banking house.
There he got training which was
the real foundation Of his later sue

His opportunity to get back into
the mill business came when Otis N
Pierce Of New Bedford undertook the
reorganization OF some Fall River
mills which had lost money. Mr..
Pierce invited Wood to go with him
as his assistant and paymaster. Wood
stayed In Fall River for six years,
