Washington, Oct. 1O-Tentatve
lists of the distinguished guests to be
invited to attend the American I'M
known dead ceremonies at Arlington

in preparation at the war depart

Goodwill Shops
to Be Permanent
To Buy Building

: Inc entire Snlft department OF the
N. n. Mayhoff & Co. Inc, has been
moved from the factory in Norwalk,
Conn. to this city and the Augusta
shop is now doing their own cutting,
something which was not done until
short time ago. The shirts were
formerly cut in the Norwalk shop
and sent to this city where they were
made up. About 400 dozen shirts are
being made in the Goodwill shop in
this city, while about 200 dozen are
being made, yet, in the Norwalk
shop. 1t may be that in the near flu
ture all the shirts will be made in the
Augusta shop, increasing the working
force from its present number of 65
or more to fully 300.
With the advent of the cutting to
the Augusta shop, comes a new ex-
ecutive, W. S. Mckee, a man who
has grown up IN the shirt making
business. For years he was connected
with the Artistic shirt makers in
Troy, n. Y, and long before that he
wa engaged in shirt making. Mr..
Mckee has done nothing else in the
line of work, except in the shirt max
ing industry. With the exception of
the years Of the war, when he engag
cd in war work. He thoroughly I'M
derNands the business. from the
selecting of the materials to the ship
ping away of the goods. the finished
product. His addition to the work
ing force of the Goodwill shop means
but another step in the permanent es-
tablishment of the Mayhoff branch in
this city.
1t is now an assured fact that the
shop is to be permanently located
here. as the company has only re-
Gently signed zen year lease on the
splendidly equipped building where
the Goodwill shop is located. The
lease was signed with the proviso to
purchase within that time. The
product of the shop is the Goodwill
soft cellar attached shirts.
Plans are being made to greatly
enlarge the present Goodwill shop
and the architects drawing are now
in process. The plans were previous
ly made but We're delayed due to the
high cost of building material.
Associated with Mr.. Mckee in the
cutting department ae two experien-
ced cutters. Fred Pelletier and Leon
ard NJ. Brown, both of Waterville. Mr..
Felletier has been at the Mayhof
shop in Norwalk Conn. for some time
before coming to Augusta. Both men
have also been at the Hathaway
Shirt Factory in Waterville for years.
South American trade is coming
more and more strongly into the
Goodwill shop books. A great many
of the shirts made in the Augusta
shop and the Norwalk shop are sent
to South America.
A most interesting model which the
Mayhoff people make is the English
shirt This shirt is designed along
distinctly English lines. having many
tucks in the back and different sleeve
facings and other characteristics
which make it very English All
these shirts are sent to England,
which is another example of the for
eign trade. which is being establish
ed by the Mayhoff company.
