Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1917-09-12
ORLEANS COUNTY DISCOVERED

The current issue of the Vermonter
may well be considered an Orleans
county issue. Its two leading arti-
cles by the editor, Charles R. Cum
mings, are concerning the business of
the J. G. Turnbull Co., of Orleans, and
an article on esThe Charm of Viii
loughby" Both are wen illustrated
and written in Cummings best style.
Mention is also made of Runaway
pond. 1t would seem that The Yer
monter has discovered Orleans coun-
ty.
The Vermonter well says of Mr..
Turnbull in the course of its article:
Faithfulness, courage, candor and
energy are the inbred qualities of J..
G.. Turnbull

this man-now at his desk, now In
distant states-imbuing with his pur-
pose a forceful organization. For
there are cheese factories in this
string-purveyors of quality to the
United States government, even as to
you and me; butter is made-Wil-
loughby brand butter-ine fancy
cheeses, ice cream and casein. There
is a grist mill and elevators and feed
is sold to farmers at many country
creameries; there is great cold stor-
age plant, and a Boston distributing
station for the whole system, and
there is a bank, of which Mr.. Turn
bull is president. Yet he smiles
when you can catch him-he is the
push-button of progress.

conducts the feed department. L. M.
Kinsley, long schooled in Turnbull eff
fciency, has many capable assistants.
Every modern Office device is employ
ed-most of which the company has
improved on.
In opening the article on Willough-
by lake, which covers 16 pages with
illustrations, the author says:
The big chiefs Of the West, attired
in the trappings of their race, finish
impressive oratorical appeals with the
simple words, 81 have spoken"
Up IN northeastern Vermont, at

simple valley dwellers-when you see
them, that you never supposed such
awful precipices existed in Vermont.
They not only exist but they threaten.

The majestic twin sentinels which
guard Willoughby can be seen from
great distances-frOm Danville, from
Newport, and so the circle round.
They form in part the height of land
between the Connecticut and the st.
Lawrence valleys, brooks from their
southern slopes flowing into the Pas
sumpsic river while the waters Of the
lake find their way into Lake Mem

state highway extends along the en-
tire length of the lake on the eastern
side.

the Vermonter would be good publici-
