Holt a Magician In
Cleaning and Altering

Guy Holt is 4 name to conjure
with the city Of Gardiner. His
friends say that Mr.. Holt may be
called a real conjurer, too, because
of the excellent way in which he
makes old clothes look new.
The cleaning and repairing of
clothes may well be regarded as an
art. Mr.. Holt has proved 1t for dur
ing the seven years he has been in
business in Depot square, Gardiner,
he has added friends and kept his
old ones. That, after all. is about
the best test Of = mans ability.
Guy s. Holt doesn't limit his
cleaning and dyeing to mems ap-
parel by any means, for dresses,
plain and fancy, and skirts-even
those fussy pleated ones-form a
large part of the work that he does.
Alterations of all kinds are also
made. The Holt establishment is
modern in every way, just as Mr..
Holt is modern in his thought, so
that IL suit or coat Is just bit
out of style, then-presto, Holt
takes it and brings it right up to the
minute,

Dependable Business Firms
-Always At Your Service
." Jack" Hanson for 80
Years in Business

It has been said that all history is
history of mems lives. This is
just as true in the consideration of
industries-they are histories of in
dividual workers-personal histories.
Such may be said to be the case
with the Hume -Newhall Company
sof Augusta It is virtually the
history of an individual, for ]. E.
Hanson, the president Of the cor
poration, has been connected with
the enterprise for 80 Of it's IS years
of existence. That is a long record;
it is a good record and it is not
stretching the truth a bit to say that
Mr.. Hanson has always been a
force In the development Of this, one
Of Augustus Oldest and best known
enterprises.
In 1890, Bangs. Bros, established
business on Willow street for the
manufacture of window frames,
doors, glazed windows, blinds and
the like. This was at the same To-
cation now occupied by the Hume
Newhall company. Seven years
after the business started, the in
dustry was incorporated as the
Lawrence & Newhall Co., and three
years later, it became the Lawrence,
NSWIldll N GdSc ". l1lS, III luTI,
was succeeded in 1911 by the Hume
Newhall Co. of Augusta, the present
corporation, the officers of which
now are: President, John E. Han
son; treasurer. Henry C. Newhall.
Mr.. Hanson began his connection
with the concern soon after it was
started by Bangs Bros. when he
was stenographer and bookkeeper.
His rise has been steady and de-
served and to his ENERGY and at
i tention has been due much of the
success of the enterprise.
In the manufacture of windows
and frames and general house finish,
h the Hume Newhall company has
given particular attention to detail
work. II there is anything that re-
Quires care, it is in milling lumber.
The Hume -Newhall company through
all its IS years of existence
reckoning in the whole life of the
present enterprise-has been noted
for the excellent quality of the

Real Eyes Made Better;
Artificial Eyes Fitted

Even If one loses an eye-which of
course Is a great misfortune-there is
no occasion for being disfgured, for
r. II. Willis, optometrist of Gardiner,
carries the largest stock of artificial
eyes east of Portland. In other words,
no matter what the color of the eye
that may have been lost, its mate
may be matched so accurately that
even a mans most intimate friend
might not detect the difference.
But the fitting of artificial eyes Is
but one of the phases of optical work
done by DIR. Willis. Thoroughly in
formed as to all those niceties that
an optometrist must know, he IL
painstaking and thorough in the test
ing of eyes and in the fitting of
glasses if glasses are needed.
DR.. Willis has been in business
since 1SS6-nearly 80 years. Realiz-
ing that professional man must
keep right up with the time, he en-
tered the Spencer Optical college in
1897 and took full course. Since
1898, he has been practicing in Gar
diner and so much has his business
grown that he easily has one Of the
largest in the State. More than that,
DR.. Willis is strongly interested in
the development of Gardiner and is
always ready for any progressive step
that people of the city will take.

Reliable Merchandise
Features Wood Store

Reliable goods at reasonable
prices for 40 years has been business
standard Of the F. B. Wood estate
of Hallowell. Not during all that
time, however, has the concern
borne that name, for this has been
its title only during the past IL
years.
The present business was virtually
founded by F. B. Wood with the
Heath undertaking establishment.
Mr.. Wood, however, realized that
the profession Of a mortician was
not. in itself, sufficiently extensive
so he added line Of house fur
niture. Since then the business has
steadily grown. Twelve years ago,
Mr.. Wood passed away and since
that time, the business has been
conducted successfully by his estate.
Emery L. Smith is now the en-
balmer who efficiently looks after
the funeral directing. Household
furniture. TOYS snd novelties are the
merchandise carried and all the
year steady business is enjoyed
while the Christmas displays are
recognized up and down the Ken
nebec valley as being of unusual
merit, not only because of the re-
liable character of the goods, but the
reasonable prices asked.
I'VE have tried to give the people
reliable merchandise" is the way
Mrs. Wood expresses it. How well
the house has succeeded is best
proven by the high regard in which
it is held.

candy that you like are the class of
goods carried by Victor Cantoni of
Depot square, Gardiner. Only two
years has his business been estab-

real want in his community with the
quality of his goods and the real,
satisfying service he gives to his
trade. Not only are the perish

but cigars. tobacco and icecream are
also featured. The Cantoni store is
popular one and the proprietor

recognized, not only in this section,
but throughout New England for
there is hardly a section of this

in the Capital City.
