How Small the World Is

One day recently two young men
sat at lunch in England and in their
conversation "Skowhegan" was men
toned. Not far from them was a
group of ladies one of whom noted the
reference to our town. Upon inyes-
tigation she learned that the young
man in question was Alexander Thorn
son of this town, now student at
Oxford University. The lady was
Miss Elizabeth Olney, who will be
recalled by many of this locality.
Miss Olney lived while in town sew
eral years ago with Mrs. Olive Dealey
and will be remembered as delight
full speaker and associate.
The above incident is interesting in
showing how small this great world
is and that one never is entirely away
from acquaintances. 1t also en-
phasizes the fact that "There are
eleven Bestons and many Londons
but ONLY ONE SKOWHEGAN."

There have been many industries in
Skowhegan since its early settle
ment, some of which have survived
long years and some of which have
long since passed out of existence.
Two of these were located not far
from the great eddy, but nothing now
remains to suggest that they were
once busy centers of industry. One
of these was the wool pullery at the
foot of Searles Hill on the Malbon's
Mills road and the other the tannery
in the forks of Water street and Hes
elton street.
The wool pullery occupied the pres
ent site of the home of VIII Demo and
it is interesting to note that portions
of the barn were once part of the
wool pullery buildings. This enter
prise was conducted by j. Fred Pol
lard but he did not erect the build
ing, for by going further back in the
history these buildings were original

Railroad Mr.. Pollard purchased the
building and moved IT in two sections

After disseminating both the wool
pulling and Stat making industries

while but was eventually sold to
