a number of material improvements
to It's plant.
With = view TO supplying por.
ton Of the local market with bill
stuff or "house patterns" the com.
pany Is installing several new wood
working machines. Among these
are a resaw and large planer. The
planer has various knives which are
adjustable for the manufacture Of
many different materials.
L. @. Parsley, general manager
of the company, informs as that his
company is now doing a nice whole
sale business and that he expects TO
materially increase the present OUT
put of the plant upon installation Of
the new machinery.
When the subject Of Kenova need
ing a good building and loan asso-
citation whereby those Of ourlaboriny
people who own lots might borrow
money and build, repaying the loan
on the monthly payment plan, Mr..
Parsley heartily coucurred. He
also stated that his company would
probably be able TO assist a number
along those lines in the near future.
If the company decides to do so
We venture the assertion that Keno.
va will enjoy another building boom.

of people who own lots here that
are unable TO build from the fact
that they cannot purchase material
