Concord n. H., Buys Machine
Price Asked i'm Brat
tleboro Was $5, 500
CITY THINKS IT
"GOT A BARGAIN"
Had Been Used for Demonstration Pur-
poses-Specifications Same as for
One Exhibited Here = Clerk Writes
Price Formerly Was Larger.

Those who were interested on one
side or the other in the purchase of a
piece of motor driven fire apparatus for
Brattleboro will be interested to learn
that Concord, \. H., has recently
bought White combination chemical
and hose wagon for only $500
The same type of machine of the
same make, if not the same identical
car, was offered to Brattleboro and
urged by many prominent citizens as
the best piece of auto apparatus at a
fair price. for $500. And this was
only a few months ago
1t would appear from the above that
there is either very wide margin OF
profit or that the White company fig
ured that in the few months that the
car had been used for demonstration
purposes it had deteriorated So 900 in
value.
At the time Brattleboro was in the
throes Of trying to decide which make
| of auto fire apparatus should be bought
| by the village the White, Boyd. Rob
lnson and Seagrave products were those
| principally considered. The White was
| the lightest in weight. and probably
| the fastest. The prices varied, from the
highest to the lowest, only about $500.
| Much pressure was brought TO bear
upon the commissioners to purchase
the White for $500 The truck was
| brought here and demonstrated. even
to answering an actual alarm of fire.
but the commissioners finally bought
| the Seagrave machine.
| Now it develops that the White con
Germ was SO desrous of disposing of
their product that they shaded the
price $4,000 and the city of Concord.
as the city clerk writes, 'tThinks we
got a bargain. Undoubtedly Concord
got much better bargain than Brat
tleboro would have obtained had the
machine been purchased at the larger
price.
The following letter received today
by The Reformer from Henry f. Cham
berlin, city clerk of Concord. would in
dieate that the machine bought by that
city is the same one that was demon
strated here. If not, it is one with the
same specifications as the one shown
here. The letter follows:
This city has recently purchased
combination chemical and hose wagon
of the White pattern; this carries 40
gallon chemical tank, 800 feet of hose
ladders, pony chemicals and other fire
; tools and ten or 10 men. The price
paid was $4,000
1.-The truck was built for demonstra
tion purposes and had been used by the
White people in a number of cities fol
I .such purposes. When new the price wa:
considerably in excess of what this cit1
paid and we think we got bargain.

BOATING SEASON
COMES TO A CLOSE
Little Activity on River Past Season
Automobiles and Country Club
Counter Attractions.

The boating season on the Connect
cut has come to close. Some OF the
boats have been placed in winter quar-
ters III back yards and others are
stored in the boat houses. In spite of
the fact that there are some 80 motor
boats owned by residents of Brattle-
boro and vicinity there has been very
little activity on the river during the
summer.
This is attributable to two causes
automobiles and the Country club. Both
of these have claimed the attention
of men and women who formerly spent
more time on the river. For some rea-
son the boat Hyeries have done less
business this year than formerly With
Il long stretch Of ideal water for boat
ing purposes at Brattleboro it is in
| comprehensive to many that little
advantage is taken of the opportunity
for pleasure trips on the river.
