William C. Kilborn OF Boston, who
represents the Liberty Steel Products
company of Chicago Heights, H., is ex
perimenting on the various small build
ings used in the quarrying districts as
auxiliares to the quarrying Of gran
lite. Mr.. kilborn's interest in these en-
CINE houses and the transferable |
structures arises from business reasons. |
His product is steel collapsible build |
ings which may be shipped direct to a
purchaser and erected in short time |
by unskilled labor as each part is man |
ufactured and fitted perfectly before
being shipped. Quarry districts are
ordinarily morme susceptible to such
for it often becomes nee
essary to transfer an engine house or
the like to another spot so that its |
location may produce the quarry prod
uct. He, at present, is visiting quarry |
owners in Granitegille and expects to
remain in this district for some time.

Barclay, head of the Standard Granite
10, who were small boys at the time
he picture was taken, their father, the
ate Mayor William Barclay, being
member of the firm of Littlejohn &
Barclay. The group picture makes a
most interesting reminder of the DAYS
when the Barre granite industry was
to spring into greatness. Any
Who may be interested in picking out
amiliar faces in the group can see the
picture at this Office, remarkably
lear reduced picture mounted on a
postcard having been furnished by Will

w. +. bigger of Boston, a travelling
reight agent for the Cunsrd steam
hip line, the Anchor line, and the An
'hor. Donaldson line, brought sope in
eresting granite news TO Barre yes
erday. Believing that the few branch
Wholesale granite firms of this city
we're interested in purchasing the prod
lets of the Scottish quarries, he came
o make arrangement, II possible, to
lave this stone transported TO Ameri-
an ports over one Of the lines he rep
