Soldiers Letters

Mrs. Cora Larkford, of t'ederals-
burg, has received the following let
ter from her son, Corp. Claude Lark
ford, in service in France:
France, Nov. SO, 1918.
Dearest Mother:
Now that Thanksgiving is all over,
will try and write you all a few lines.
What did you have for Thanksgiving
Day? Well, didn't have much extra
to eat and enjoy, but l was thankful
that I was living and feeling as well
as was. although 1 was working, and
the weather was very ugly and unfit.
1t rained very hard all afternoon and
night, and l was driving all day I'M
til o'clock that night, from $50 in
the morning, with the exception of
only a. few minutes that l stopped to
eat some beans and have a cup of
coffee, and when l got to my destina-
ton at night 1 wasn't wet nor cold,
but was very tired, for I had on my
heavy rain coat and it kept my body
dry and my big leather gloves kept
my hands dry and warm, so 1 didn't
fare SO bad for Thanksgiving Day af
ter all, did 1? I thought of home,
and how things were going on, and
how everybody was, and said to my
self, think everyone is as well and
feels as good as I do; if so, you are
all o. K. The weather has been very
favorable until the last few days,
which have been rainy, but since the
armistice was signed we have had
fine weather, clear, frosty nights and
some moonshine
Well. Mother, guess you know as
much about where I am and the Divi-
sion I am in as I do myself, for
imagine the papers have said where
we are going. We are now on our
way as Occupation Troops to take up
places somewhere in Germany until
after peace is permanently signed,

Announcement

All business people of this COM
been with those VINO have had to
contend with congested freight en-
bargoes, and shortage of cars, then
to the shortage of labor at all large
manufacturing centres: this with the
later epidemic has had a tendency to
| put a damper on prompt delivery OF
granite and marble from our quar-
ries We are advised from the quar-
ries and manufacturer at the stone
centres that conditions are much i'm
proved. Their men have been re-
turning slowly, and all things are
becoming more normal, which does
insure prompt delivery of the raw
material from now on.
Though having all this to contend
with, we have sold and delivered in
the year of 1918 five times the
amount of work we did in the previ-
Gus year. Yet we have been delayed
with some of our larger orders, as
well as a few small ones. Among
them is the monument for Mr.. Ros-
coe Conklin Leonard, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ivy l.. Leonard, which is an
original design, prepared after Mr..
Leonard's own idea, and which will
| do credit to the memorial of the
States history of the world war. In
addition to the Leonard memoriaLwe
have the following monuments in the
course of construction:
A large granite monument for
Mr.. Oliver w. Mitchell.
| One of marble for Mrs. Isabel V.
Willis, wife of Mr.. Thomas A. Willis.
! Also one for Mr. A. J. Dunn, Mr..
Geo. w. Edger, Mr.. Jerome Glover.
Mrs. John R. Neild, Mrs. Clarence
Higgins, and child of Mr.. Geo. Leon
ard. A granite monument for Mrs.
Ruth R. Willis, wife of Mr. R. Earl
Greenlee; Mr.. John T. Johnson, Mrs.
Thomas McGrath, and son of Mr.. H.
N. Cannon; also one for Mr.. H. c.
Meekins.
This in no way covers all work, but
few of the larger monuments we
have under way.
We appreciate the fact that our
customers are among the leading
representative business men and wo-
men of Cambridge and Dorchester
county, and our efforts in the future,
as we'll as in the past, will be to make
prompt delivery of all monumental
work entrusted to us, as quality and
efficient workmanship will permit.
We are from time to time installing
machines and machinery to handle
our orders promptly and efficiently
as the growing demands call for
quality in monumental work, at low
prices.
We have several car loads OF
granite and marble in transit, which
will be on display in our show rooms.
Anyone interested we shall be glad
to have them inspected.
Thanking our friends and custo-
mers for making this year our ban
ner year in business, and assuring
you of our appreciation for future
consideration, we are, respectfully,
