mild winter and the early spring are
all in South Eoston's favor. Building
operations continued all through the
fall and the winter. and there have
been very few days when the mechan-

because Of bad weather.
New homes are going up all about
the town. and business houses are also
being built. The Imperial Tobacco
Company evidently proposes to make
South BOSTON one of its lending points
for the purchase OF the bright colore I'd
weed. for they have bought the land
for big factory here. and the build
ers with whom the company has made
contracts have begun the work on the
Imperial Company's large steam plant.
II is the purpose OF the company to
have the plant ready for operation by
the opening OF the next tobacco season.
