Moves House from
Bath to Augusta
Piazza, Ell and All

A novel sight on the Augusta water
front, II it can be called such. was
the arrival about 8 o'clock Friday
morning of a fiat boat or lighter.
bringing to this city a full grown
tnree room house, with a piazza and
Gil: Inc house came from Bath and
Will be placed on land near Pettin-
gill's corner.
Charles E. Nicholas of this city
quilt the house three or four wears
ago IN Bath during the ship building
Doom. At that time he expected to
move 1t to this city and so built it
extra strong that it would stand the
voyage to Augusta. The ell of the
mouse was built separately and at
tached to the main house with bolts
SO that IT might easily be moved if
occasion required.
Now that much of the shinyard ac-
tivity in Bath has ceased MIR. Mich
olas decided that it would be we'll TO
move, so the house was turned upon
its side. placed upon wheels and
transported a mile to the water front
where it was loaded upon large
lighter belonging to the Maine
Transportation company of Boothbay
Harbor. 1t was placed on this light
er. with the wheels still under the
rear OF the bookings so that all that
was necessary when it reached this
city was to run in as close to the mill
yard on the east side of the river as
possible and then put rollers under
the house. and roll it ashore.
Two pairs of horses were needed to
haul the house to the shore in Bath
and three pairs were used to haul it
TO lts mai resting place in this city.

EXPANDS BUSINESS
WATERv|LLLE BRANCH

The HolmeS-Swift Company of
Augusta has purchased a substan-
tial interest in the Kennebec Groc-
cry Company, wholesale grocers of
Waterville and will Immediately ex-
tend its sales and distributing facili-
ties to that city.
In this transaction is convincing
evidence that Kennebec county is
not only growing from a manufac-
turing standpoint, but that it is be-
coming increasingly important as a
merchandising center for a large
section Of Maine.
At the present time, the Holiness
swift Company operates between
Brunswickl on the south and Bing-
ham and Dexter, on the north, &C..
lively covering the intervening terri
tory: Through cooperation with
the Waterville plant, it will be pos
Sible to serve the trade more eff
hclently and promptly than is posi-
Ole from one point.
The Waterville house, after July
first. will be known as Holiness
Swift. Inc, and will operate as
Waterville concern. 1t will develop
the business already established
there and. by the addition of new
lines to those now handled, will in
crease the service rendered to the
trade.
The Holmes-Swi Company of
Augusta will continue to operate as
1t has in the past, working in con-
junction with Holmes-Swift, Inc. of
Watcrville in purchasing and dis
tributing, which will be decidedly to
the interest of the customers of both
houses.
The Augusta concern was estab-
lished in 1914 as Holmes Brothers
Company by Ward G. Holmes and
Frank L. Holmes, soon after chang.
ing its name to The Holmes Swift
Company, when Willis +. Swift be-
came active in it's administration.
The concern has enjoyed a steady
and substantial growth since it was
founded. The present officers are
Frank L. Holmes, president, Ray
mond w. Swift, vice-president, Will
lis r. Swift. treasurer, and Almon B.
Sullivan, secretary. The personnel
active in Augusta will remain the
same in the future with the excep-
ton of Raymond w. Swift, who is
moving to Waterville with his FAM
lily and will represent the Holiness
Swift Company in the new organi-
cation as its treasurer
Arthur Daviau and Fred II. Rose,
who have been prominent in the
Kennebec Grocery Company, will re-
main with Holmes Swift, Inc, and
will retain an interest in the COM
pany. Mr.. Daviau will serve as
president and Mr.. Rose as direc-
tor.
