It is probable that comparatively
few people in our community realize
that an efficient, compact, modern
machine shop has grown up in our
midst. When Mr.. Choquette bought
the home of Miss ellis on Irasburg
street about two years since, he inn
mediately began to convert the we'll
built barn into machine shop. An
addition was built on the rear SO
that he now has an extremely we'll
lighted room 36x4O feet, in which he
has installed two lathes, a milling ma
chine, planer, power saw, forge, two
grinders, two drilling machines and
a complete set of rimmers milling
cutters, small tools, etc., all driven by
electric power. He also has for sale
machine bronze, shafting, machine
screws, babbitt, etc. He makes a
speciality of bobbin tools and bobbin
machinery and in brain and tools is
well equipped for experimental work
on new models. This shop already
gives employment to two and some
times three expert machinists and
means great convenience to all who
have machinery to make or repair
Mr.. Choquette's inventive genius
bids fair to mean much more to him
self and the community.

to the frequent Introduction OF snowy
