be still manufactured here 1t would
not. however, be properly listed among
our manufactures. 1t is made In q
retail rather than a wholesale way.
Harness and horse furnishings are
of course made to a certain extent
in Skowhegan at the present time. In
former years. however. there we're es-
adjustments where number OF hands
were employed and the product was
boxed and shipped for sale in distant
markets
1t would be of interest. from the
historical standpoint, TO make this
list of quiescent Industries as complete
as possible viii anyone who recalls
an industry. once in operation here
now discontinued, please advise US
Likewise if We have overlooked any
OF our present industries, we should
like to be informed of the same,
Of course, our most important prod

are not listed as they are not regarded
as manufactures In that department
might be mentioned purebred cattle
horses, swine. and sheep, also pota-
toes. apples and hay, all of which are
shipped from this vicinity to distant
markets in large quantities
