the principal products OF the Goetz
harness factory in Charles Town, has

employees engaged in this branch have
been dismissed. The firm will con-
tinue to make horse collars. The uni
versal use of automobiles has caused
an almost complete cessation OF the
demand for buggy and carriage har--
ness, and now the introduction OF
trucks for hauling is doing away with
the need for heavy harness.
The road from the Maryland end of
the bridge across the Potomac river at

q large increase in the number of auto
mobiles passing through Shepherds

s.~rc;ed vii &c OF concrete and will be
among the very best of the good roads
for which Maryland is famous, though
in some places it is rather narrow,
where it clings to the base Of the
mountain.
