Mark the Sheets


Ia utals. hotels and similar insti-
tutfons are obliged to mark, very
carefully. every article which goes
int the laundry This they dc
oven when the washing and ironing
is daue on the premises, and are, OF
coufae. equally certain to attend TO
il when The soiled articles go else
Whore - be Numbered. institutions
thai fail TO do this ultimately dis
cover q considerable loss and those
who attend TO it with care are certain
that it saves them a good many dol
lars annually.
Schools and colleges invariably re-
quire students to mark clothing in
This way. 1t is the only plan which
will avoid confusion and subsequent
annoyance.
Private families are coming TO rec
oFnize the advantage of this custom.
Sometimes linen and other laundry
will seem to disappear from no APP
parent cause. If it is marked, there's
less anxiety in this respect. Mark
ing linen used to be quite an art;
nowadays the process is very simple.
One method. not many years past,
consisted in writing with pen on the
garment in question and covering
the words, while still moist, with a
hot iron This seemed to be neces-
sary in order to make the ink indeli-
BILE. There were many inks used
in this way with pen, however, which
did not require heat to make them
effective. Later on, rubber stamps
have come into use and they are now
used in connection with pads linked
with indelible ink, a very convenient
outfit.
OF late there have been calls for
date stamps to be used, with the name,
on the lahndry to indicate the date
of its purchase Another interesting
custom, applicable to sheets and
similar articles, is that of marking
the size in inches. There are num-
boring machines with adjustable
bands for this purpose. We take
orders for rubber stamps, to be used
in marking the name. and we carry
in stock indelble linking pads, band
daters, small band numbering
stamp with which the required num-
Der of inches can be put upon sheets
To Indicate their size. Things OF
this character are inexpensive and
will pay for themselves many times
in the first year of use. Informa-
ton gladly furnished upon request.

Thriy.one Years OF Faithful Service

Foremost among Skowhegan's faith
full workmen is Napoleon Thibeault,
the local gateman, who has for the
past thirty-one years been an en-
ployee of the Maine Central Railroad
Company. Previous to December !,
1911, Mr.. Thibeault worked for this
company in the section department.
Since that time, he has very earnestly
and efficiently maintained his present
position. Mr.. Thibeault has never,
during this long period, been en-
ployed by any other company or per-
SON.
His working hours each day are
from a. m. to 6.10 p. m, which is
after the arrival of the late afternoon
train. On Sundays he has a half
holiday
Mr. Thbeault's predecessor, Will
liam Frye, retired owing to i'll health
and advanced age and has since de-
ceased.
Unfortunately. the tracks are sit
uated in such a central position in
the town, that the freight trains, in
shifting, must necessarily cause bit
Of annoyance and delay. We all
know. however, how watchfnl and
courteous Mr.. Thibeault is. He
doesn't, of course, like us to take
chances" However. he does give us
quick service in raising the gates
when the tracks are clear. A habit
many of us have that he especially
dislikes is passing, when the gates are
down, beyond the crossing by Foggs
Drug Store, anywhere along to the
railroad bridge. He, of course, can
not watch us closely down so far and
the children especially cause him
much anxiety.
Asked If the automobiles annoyed
him by excessive blowing of auto
horns, he replied in the negative. He
thinks it is remarkable there has been
so few accidents considering the
amount of traffic. In all the years he
has been stationed at these gates, on
ly two fatalities have occurred. The
first, 1t will be recalled, was the little
Lane boy, who was killed by the aft
ernoon train. The other was Ed
ward N. Merrill who was struck by
freight train.
Mr. Thibeault sets us an excellent
example of faithfulness in his em-
ployment.
