There is more than a fair prospect that
another industry is soon to locate in
Ellsworth. The Il. L. Day & Sons Co. of
Bangor has negotiated for the purchase

north, though the deeds have not as vet
been executed. 1t is intended to locate on
this land steam mill to get out hard and
soft wood stock for their spring bed
manufacturing, and other lines. 1t is
understood that the mill will employ
twenty-five to thirty hands. The COM
pany has bought considerable stumpage
on Union river waters.

An important transfer of business prop
erty was closed in Ellsworth Saturday,
when DR.. a. c. Hagerthy sold the Whiting
block to Silvy d Linnehan. This is one
OF the most valua BILE business properties
in Ellsworth. The sale includes the small
annex building now occupied by e. E..
Joy, jeweler, on the first floor and r. E..
Mason's law offices on the second floor
Ell. F. Wescott, the hardware dealer, who
occupies the large store, will continue in
business here, but will have to move to a
new location, not yet decided upon. Silvy
d Linnehan will occupy the building as
soon as it is vacated. They will put in a
general line of hardware, sporting goods
and automobile accessories. Eventually
they will probably move their garage bus-
mess to the new location, occupying the
large storehouses in the rear that are in
cluded in the property.
