Now Issuing Snappy Little Bulletin
Monthly
This Company Has Had Remarkable
Growth Since It's Organization
in this City.


just to give our readers some
idea of how a manufacturing
concern started in q small way,
can grow to vast proportions we
publish this week a short history
of the Embellishments COM
pany, owners of the box and
Grating factory in this city.
This company is now operating
three plants, one in this city,
under the firm name of Kenfield-
Lamoreaux company, one at
Cass Lake, Mimi, under the
name of the Northern Pine
Grating Company. and another
plant at Bemidj, Minn., known
as the Bemidji Box Company.
In addition to the three plants
the company conducts sales
Office in Chicago.
Beginning with the first of the
year the company started pub
fishing a monthly bulletin known
as the XII NEWS" a snappy
little publication, full of items
of interest, not only to the com
pany and employees but to the
reading public as we'll. It's news
covers the three plants Of the
company and the Chicago Office,
besides a raft of general infor-
nation on snappy subjects.
Fred Hess, whose Office is with
the Embellishments com
pany in this city, and who is
efficiency manager for the COM
pany, is occupying the editorial
sanctum, while he has associated
with him as co-editors repre-
sentatives in each of the other
plants and the Chicago office.
The third issue Of the new pub
lication made its appearance
this week in enlarged form and a
newsier little paper never was
issued. for it is just full of in
formation and news that will
prove not only help for the
companies represented but for
sthe employees as well. The
publication is distributed free
among the workmen at the vari-
GUS institutions of the company
and each issue is eagerly looked
forward to.
The history of the -Kenfeld-
Lamoreaux company reads some
thing like a dream, yet it is every
bit real and people in Washburn
who have resided here long
enough can remember the time
when the comp any had its con
ception.

Bayfield, Tea ms Prove a Surprise. Win
Both Contests Here
Monday Night.

The Washburn High Schoo
basket ball teams have been
playing in a little hard luck dur.
ing the past week and the result
has been the loss of three games
for the school, while one was
won.
The Bayfield, High School
teams came down on Monday
evening to play against the
Washburn school at the "Y''
gymnasium. Washburn girls
lost their game to the bayfield,
girls by score of Ia to IL.
This was a fast contest and the
teams were about evenly
matched.
! In the contest between the
boys teams it was figured that
the tale would be different, so
confident did the Washburn
boys feel that they put most Of
their second team players
against the Bayfield, aggregation
and to their surprise the Bay
field team came out of the first
/
half with a good many score to
their credit. The first team was
put in against the Bayfield, boys
in the second half but were un-
able to snap the victsry~~fFom'
the Bayfieldites and. the game
ended with the score Is to 9 in
their favor.
Last Saturday the Washburn
High team journeyed to Superior
where they played the Nelson.
Dewey school, losing the game
by a score of Is to Ii. The locals
made a good showing at Superior
and received much credit for
their playing.
The second team played at
Iron River on the same evening
and won the game by a close
score.

Soldiers Should Record Them Before
Sending Them Away
Place to do it is at the Office Of the
Register Of Deeds.
Fee is 25c.


Bayfieldzcounty soldier boys
should go to Register of Deeds
Myhre at once and see that their
discharge papers are filed in bis
office. The cost of filing same
will only only be 25 cents and
then in case they are lost or de-
stroyed the record will show the
discharge.
Under a law recently passed
every soldier discharged from
service in entitled to 500 as a
bonus. In order to get this
money, he will have to send in
his discharge papers and before
doing so, they should be recorded
in the register of deeds office in
case they go astray or are lost
in the mails.
Sixty dollars will come in
mighty handy to mosS of the re-
turned soldiers and as they are
entitled to it, the quicker they
make application the sooner they
will get the money.

nth, and e. E. Kenfield, now OF
Bemidji, both former residents
of Washburn, started this
promising industry of making
box shocks and Grating way
back in 1893. At that time E.
e. Kenfield was foreman OF the
shingle mill of Akeley & Sprague
while @. A. Lamoreaux was
holding the reins over a tram
horse for the same concern.
Neither was contented with his
position at that time, both having
a desire to make more of them
selves and simply walking up to
to the pay office on Saturday
night and drawing a check for
their weeks labors.
There was a little old fac
tory" for sale and E. E. Kenfield
and O. A. Lamoreaux decided to
form a partnership ands take
over the little plant. but between
the two they had but $35. 90 and
this little factory would cost
them many times that amount.
But Kenfield and Lamoreaux
wanted to buy and the owner
wanted to sell mighty bad.
They went to the bank where
they arranged to borrow
$4,000 with which to make the
first payment, rand the plant be-

William R. Peck of Washburn Named
by Geqeral Pershing
Was Killed in Action While Shielding
Officer with his Body While Bullets
We're Fired at Him.
Number ~

! Among the 100 bravest men
who participated in the great
war; with the American army
was one from Was hburn, Wis
consin, according to a statemen t
cabled to the State Department
last week by General Pershing.
This young man was William r.
Peck, member of 354th in
fantry. who was killed in action
when he shielded an officer from
machine gun fire with his own
body.
Of the thousands Of brave
deeds performed by the sons of
America on the French battle
fields, General Pershing and
staff of his Generals selected 100
as the most brilliant Of all. The
choice was made after long de-
liberation and consideration of
all cases reported, at the request
of Secaetary of the Treasurer
carter Glass.
The list was cabled to Wash
jngton last week and the govern
ment officials say it will show
even the most liberal purchasers
of Liberty Bonds that they did
little for their country in COM
parison with those boys who
laughed at death for their coun-
try's sake.
The stories of the 100 bravest
acts have aroused wide interest
in all parts of the country and
their publication has been await
ed with interest for several
weeks. The list shows that the
heroes are not all among the
ranks Of the officers, but it also
shows that, no matter how high
their grade, American officers
are just as brave as their men.
The heroes mentioned in the re-
port range in rank from privates
to colonels.
The William z. Peck mem
toned in the report, was a resi-
dent Of the, town of Bayvi9w,
where he farmed previous to
entering the army of the United
States. He was a very popular
young man, and his name will go
down through the ages as being
Bayfields county's bravest man,
selected as such by General Per-
shing and his staff.
Bayfield, county had many
other young men who would
have been willing to make sac
rifces just as great had oppor-
tunity presented itself, but all
will honor the name of William
R. Peck.

lit was a great event when the
first car was shipped but it was
less pleasant to face their en-
ployees on Saturday nights, for
the customer had not paid for
his first car. However the en-
ployees waited patiently, know
ing they would get their money
when the returns cape in.
1t was uphill work and it took
years to build up a business,
but both men put their heart
and energy into their work and
after few years had things
coming their way.
But the job of selling products
became too hard to handle from
the Washburn office and M. S.
Lamoreaux of Chicago, brother
of O. A. became sales manager
and became interested in the
company. This proved a good
thing for orders began coming
at rapid rate and the growth
of the company since that time
has been wonderful, In 1903
the Embellishments plant in
this city became too small to
handle the business of the COM
pany and a plant was erected at
Cass Lake, Mimi. Then in 1913
the Bemidji Box company was
organized and modern plant
erected at Bemidji.
The growth Of the company
has indeed been marvellous and
year by year it is becoming
larger. 1t just goes to show
what a concern with small be-
ginning, can do when there is
proper energy behind it.
