Home Store
Service
No. l

The service which our home
stores offers to our people, is an
achievement which is not always
realized as we thoughtlessly make
use of that service. And it is
something far beyond what has
been created by Aany one group
of men.
1t is linked up with a system of
world wide distribution, which
has been built up through years
of effort of the brightest business
minds.
Years ago the ordinary retail
store had no such command over
the resouces of the world. Today
a system has been organized by
which any store anywhere, can
draw at once on central depots
for anything under the sun. 1t
is visited regularly by trained
representatives Of these distrlbu-
ton centers, who give expert
help on supplying public needs.
Thus any store, big or little, can
become an integral part of geat
system able to rise to high stand
ards of service.

MORE BUSINESS
FOR MClNDOES
AT THE BIG MILL
Carrier to BE Installed for
Handling Pulp Wood
Dam Work Postponed

The Mt. Tom Sulphite Pulp Com
pany at McIndoes are laying a spur
track to the Connecticut river
through the big tract of land which
was bought last summer from Mr..
Johnson. The track is being laid by
q crew of Boston and Maine track
layers and at the end of the line the
Mt. Tom corporation will install an
electric carrier to lift the four foot
logs out of the river. The Peck Com
pany of st. Johnsbuly have sold a
carload OF cement for this job and
the Eastern Vermont Public Utilities
Co. will install POO H. P. electric
motor to furnish the power for the
carrier.
The pulpwood which comes from
the sources of the Connecticut river
viii be taken out of the water at Nc
Indoes and loaded on the cars. 1t
S hardly possible that all the stock
can be CARED this summer and it is
expected that the rest will be taken
out OF the river and stacked near the
mill The installation of the electrical
carrier means not only the arrival Of
a lot of machinery but more workmen
to handle the pulpwood and it is hon
ed to load 30 carloads q day THROUGH
the summer.
1t is understood that the promoters
Of the big dam at the head of the
Fifteen Mile falls have decided to
Mit until fall before starting the big
kydro-electro project. This decision
was reached because the promoters
hope that materials used in the con-
etruction will be lower in price late,
in the year.
