CHANCE TO LEARN
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

To meet the extraordinary present
day demand for trained electrical men,
a number OF big Milwaukee industrial
concerns have just taken step with
out precedent Or parallel They have
entered into contract with the School
of Engineering, Milwaukee, in the
Stroh building opposite the postoffice,
to give students part time employment
at practical electrical work during the
entire course OF study. The morning
will be devoted to lectures and labor
atOry work in the school and the after
noon, will be devoted to actual prac-
tice in the work rooms of the indus
trial companies. This seems like a
splendid opportunity for young men,
The development OF the electrial in
dustry opens large opportunities for
young men in the communities in
which central station companies are
extending their lines and service. In
order that customers may be provided
with the best electric service in the
home and factory for the operation of
lights, ranges, household appliances
and motors, it is necessary that the
electric companies have in each COM
munity or group of communities in
which they operate, skilled electrical
workers trained to care for all the re-
quirements OF the service The
School Of Engineering of Milwaukee
as an educator, and the central station
company as an employer, provides op-
portunities for young. men to acquire
practical technical education and ad-
vantageous employment

WASHIN ON CUTLERY
|. CO. TO ENLARGE PLANT
NEW WAREHOUSE AND OFFICES
TO BE ERECTED AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE.
Growing Demand For Product of the
Plant Necessitates More Room
and Machinery.

Because of the increased demand
for the products of the Washington
Cutlery company the capacity Of the
present plant is to be greatly enlarged.
Plans have been drawn for an addition
to the present plant on the west.
This building will be Of brick two
stories in height. 1t was intended at
ing than the one now contemplated
which would necessitate larger out
lay of money, but the unsettled condi-
tiOns of the steel market due to the
war conditions in Europe has deferred
the company from going into the work
of construction on a larger scale and
they will content themselves with a
building which will supply their pres
ent needs to be supplemented later on
by the contraction at first contemplat-
ed when the war is over and business
resumes it's normal attitude.
The product of this thriving Water
town concern are knives of all de-
scription and mechanics tools all sold
under the firm brand ''The Village
Blacksmith which has become a
household word wherever such ar
ticles are known in this country, the
trade extending to all the principal
cities of the country.
When the new building is completed
the present factory will be devoted
wholly to manufacturing which means
more machinery and the employment
of more labor, which of course will be
gratifying news to the people of this
city and an evidence that the firm
made no mistake when they located
here ten years ago.
The capital stock of the Washington
Cutlery Co. is $4,000 with the follow
ing officers: President, G. H. Lehr-
kind; vice president, Charles Reichen-
baum; secretary H. Volk-
mann.

JUDGE WILLIAM H. WOODARD.
AS the time of election draws near
it is evident that sentiment is fast
crystallizing about the candidacy of
Judge William H. Woodard for county
judge. He is receiving letters from
people in all walks of life in the
county rendering him support which
indicates that his record as county
judge has met with the approval of the
people and his administration of the
duties of the office has been wholly
satisfactory and indicative of the con-
fidence he has inspired during the five
months of his incumbency. His cap
ability, fairness and sound judgment
have won for him the respect and
good will of the people and his return
to the bench would be fitting reward
for duty we'll performed, and in keep
ing with the spirit of a non-partisan
judiciary.
