its factory from Ellsworth to Auburn
/ in few weeks. This much is definite

about the removal of the factory from
Ellsworth were stated briefly in The
American two weeks ago. The COM

will alter it's plans for removal. "A
factory building in Auburn has al
ready been leased. The company is
now taking an inventory here. and
finishing up work in hand. AS soon as
the work in process is completed, the
work of removal will begin. This will
probably be in three or four weeks.
