Durham Brothers To Build

The Centre Congregational church at
Brattleboro at special meeting last
week voted unanimously to accept an
offer of $4,000 from the Durham
Bros. company, wholesale and retail
shoe dealers, for the Goodhue property
on Main street.
This was the home of the late Fran
els Goodhue and the church bought it
several years ago for $4,000 with a
view of using it for parish house pur-
poses but changed its plan.
Durham Bros. plan to tear down the
house and to erect on the lot large
building to accommodate its wholesale
office and to meet its warehouse needs.

by each side to accomplish it's purpose

"By slow, but decisive processes the

Labor conditions in the United States
