! The name of the Ellsworth
Foundry & Machine Works has been
officially changed to the Ellsworth
Motor Co. The food of last spring,
that swept away the machine shop,
foundry and boat sheds of this COM
pany, is responsible for the change.
The garage of the company, estab-
lished as branch but developed to
the most important line of it's bust
ness, escaped the flood. With the
loss of the machine shop and
foundry, which have not been re-
established the title of the company
became a misnomer; hence the
change.
