Quickly spread and within a few
minutes other boys and some girls
joined in the scramble. The antics
of two or three rushing for the same
coin aroused considerable merriment
and prompted others to throw coins
to keep the fun going.
81 got seven," proudly yelled one
boy.
One little>towhead was all serious

up quite a few coins which were
pennies, nickels and dimes.

 CLARK CASTOR co. Factory on Railroad Street
 Changes Hands LEGION HOLDS CELEBRATION
Armistice Celebration Held - Red Cross Drive to be Started Sunday
 ton Tonight-Baby Conference.

The we'll known Clark Caster com pany on Rail Road street. has changed hands after a successful period of operation for the past eight years. H. C. Baum and company have become the new owners. The sale was made few days ago and the papers were just received from Ala bama, where the former owners of the Clark company are now living. The sale includes the plant which is two stories high and all the machinery and equipment contained therein. A tract of seven and one half acres of land is also included. MT. Baum will operate the entire plant for electro plating and buffing on large scale. At present he has one of the largest places of this sort in the state and has many large contracts from fac tories in other cities and towns.
 The Clark factory was employed in making special small machinery and operated up to about d year ago when Elmer Clark, senior owner, died. Business kept falling off until the owners decided to sell. About ten men were employed in the plant at that time. MT. Baum will operate the place with eight or ten men. The place is run by water power which generates the electricity used for the machinery MT. Baum conducted a small building next 10 the Clark fac tory for the past eight years. His business however, grew to such a large extent that he was forced to | expand. With new equipment and 1 modern machinery which MT. Baum |! intends to install, il will be one of the best factories of its kind in this loqal- ity. Situated near the railroad station
 Fl f@ elk ping, the location is one of the best in the town for a factory. Specializing in plating and buffing will be done when the addition is ready for occu- pancy which will be soon. Work or remodeling the machinery and bench es will be started at once.
