The Romance Of Business.

The firm Of Greenwood and Paul
has its venerable dye works in Franks
ford. One of the three Greenwood
brothers, John, who has now retired,
was experimenting twenty years ago
with the first mercerizing process In
troduced in this country.
The strain ana the shrinkage broke
of the steel arms Of the machines. You
may not know that caustic soda on a
skein Of yarn tightens the skein till
it will break these arms.
John Greenwood had spent $4,000
in his attempts. and then he went to
his partner, Mr.. Bault. and said, I'm
going to assume this risk myself,
NO you're not" said Bault. You're
doing it for the firm. Keep right on
The trouble-in ainutshell-was that
one steel gearwheel was "meshing'
into another and the two were tearing
each other to pieces every day.
Then an old foreman spoke up
when was boy" he said. II saw
a steel gear-wheel running against q
bronze Wheel
John Greenwood sent for q noted
textile machinery maker. Cant be
done!" said the latter, brusquely
You build 1t that way" said John.
The order was carried out, and the
steel and the bronze wheels are run
ming today and doing the work as well
as they did It two decades ago.
John Mercer had to wear his own
shirts a long time before he proved to
the public that they would not lose
(by washing) the luster that bears his
name.

Dig Attraction O the odeon rhsates
Friday Eveninn,

Dig Attraction at the odeen Thsate,
Friday Evening.
II one cares. to drive dull care away
and have long hearty laugh, Z visit
to the Odeon theater where Hughy
Bernsrd's american Burlesquers' arc
underlined as the attraction for Friday
eevning will in no wise be amlss.
Without any exaggeration the pro-
duction easily ranks as the best OF it's
kind, and that Is broad assertion to
make in view of the fact Of the up-to-
date managers to offer only the best
to an exacting public.
The two-act musical farce, entitled
"Pawnbroking Deluxe" written by
Edward Shafer, marks an entertain
ment essentially out OF the ordinary
inasmuch as 1t contains all that Is ex
cellent in burlesque.
Harry Watch the Slide" Welsh
heads the list of fun makers and Is
supported by such well-known artists
as Billy Carlton, Joe Dolan, Hughy
Bernard, Sam Green, Lola McQuay.
Attic Mason, vivien Somerville and
others.
