A match game of ten pins was
played at the Pastime bowling alleys
last evening by Homer Posey's
aggregation of pin spillers and
Bruce Corning's team of clerks.
The match was a good one but
Bruce Corning's team was handi-
capped on account of the absence of
two regular players and went down
to defeat Oy the small margain of
127 pins. Another match is
scheduled for the near future and it
is expected that Corning's team
will be able to make amuch better
showing. A good many will watch
these two teams. Ia the game
played last evening the high scores
were made by Posey with 453 pins
for three gaines, Bruce Corning
with sol and Charles Hansen with
445.

Enterprising Company Has a
big cut for Coming Year
at all Plants.

The annual meeting of the
Embellishments company
was held in this city on Tues
day, o. A. Lamoreaux of this
city, e. E. Kenfield of Bemidji
and M. S. Lamoreaux of Chicago,
being represented in person at

Kenfield
Secretary, M. S. Lamoreaux
This enterprising concern
which was started in Washburn
a number of years ago in but a
small way has now grown until
it is one of the largest producers
of pine Grating in the United
States. Originally the company
owned but the one plant, being
the box factory in Washburn.
AS business increased this plant
was enlarged in size from year
to year until today it is a fine
institution with a saw mill in
connection. When the company
began tobranch out the mill and
factory was started at Cass
Lake and two years ago a fine
factory and mill was erected at
Bemidji. All of this progress
by this company is due to the
individual efforts of the hustling
embers of the firm.
During the past season bust
ness has been exceptionally good
with the company and the an
nouncement is given out that the
entire output Of the three mills
for 1914 has been contracted for.
This means that all of the plants
will be busy places.
The local plant of the COM
pany, in which Washburn people
are especially interested, en-
ploys in the neighborhood of
one hundred people. The factory
runs the year around and 1T is
one of the best institutions that
we have IN the city. From year
to year the company has been
purchasing timber with which
to keep the mill in this city 60
ing and announcement was re-
Gently made to the effect that
purchases of timber had been
made in the Herbster district
that would insure the plant a
run of ten years more at least.
Washburn people are proud of
this institution and Of the mem
bers of the firm who have made
it what it is today. May pros
perity continue with this com.
pany.
