New Industry Expected to Be Started
in Emerson Mill.

The Emerson mill, which has been
idle for so many months, has finally
been sold to Leon Webster, who for
several years has been engaged in BUSH
ness in Massachusetts. Mr.. Webster

fully matured, but it is expected that
he will manufacture inside finish and

establish business of another nature,
possibly textile mandatory on the
upper floors, and if so will employ both
men and women Mr.. Webster met
several of the business men last even
ing at the X. X. X, club rooms, and
talked the matter over, and in a few
DAYS it is expected that his plans viii
be fully matured and revealed, and he
hopes to make stock company to OPP
crate the business. The mill has been
idle since the first of the war. and the
people generally will be glad TO see
business revived at the plant.

Paris, Feb 10-The annual white

TO replenish their linen closets at
these sales, and also their personal

household linen as compared to the

which could be had five years ago for
6 francs. Today the identical article
brings 25 francs and in addition a
tax de luxe of 10 per cent is to be
paid.
Even with these prices, the shops
maintain their independence and re-
fuse to lower them one sou. On the
other hand. the merchants say that
the demand for household linen is far
greater than the supply. And who
are the ones who pay these fabulous
prices? Why. the nouveaux riches and
