PLUMBERS BUSY
DAYS ARE HERE
Guy L. Sawyer, Plumber.

Guy l.. Sawyer, Plumber.
Not many words there, but they
speak "a mouthfup', to borrow a pop
ular expression of the day. For, be
1t known, these are the DAYS when
the plumber comes right into his
own.
AS matter of fact, the plumber,
as such, is busy IL months in the
year. or should be. If he isn't. it is
the fault of those people who have
plumbing to be done and fail to get
the plumber to do it when the plum
Der has more time.
But just as soon as the cold weather
begins to come, then the market be-
gins to ook up and the average
plumber finds that he has more than
ne can do, for everybody wants the
work done today. While the real
cold weather has not yet set in, the
days are approaching when there
VIII be frozen pipes, leaking roofs
and other troubles. When these lit
tie mishaps occur, Guy Sawyer will
be called on to look after them.
He has been a pretty busy man all
the past summer, for not only has he
had plumbing installations to do,
but, as he is a sheet metal worker,
1 there have been numerous roofs that
| have had to be fixed so that summer
rains and fall rains would not come

ter in this particular, would do we'll
to have them attended to now, for
soon the snow and the ice will pre-
vent the works being done and it

present year, he has been particu-
larly busy in Waterville on large
construction work.
For 20 years, Mr.. Brooks has been
a contractor and in that time many
mighty good pieces of work have
been produced by him. Starting in
small way, just as is the case with
most business or professional men,
he at first confined his activities to
the erection of houses or even small
err jobs-anything in fact, that a
man starting in business could find.
But the real worthwhile reputa-
ton he has built up has changed
that so that the small work is now
the exception. 1t isn't because he
doesn't want to do it, but rather the
really big jobs are so big that he has
little time for anything else. The
erection of buildings, the construc-
ton of bridges, retaining walls,
dams and the like now are the things
to which Mr.. Brooks devotes the
greater part of his attention and it
is because of the good work he does
in this line of construction that his
field of activity has steadily broad
ened until his services are in demand
on all sides.

HAVE PROVED THEY
ARE GOOD PRINTERS

The White & Horne Co. of Hall
lowell are good printers. Greater
praise than that it would be hard TO
give, for when the word good" is
used to describe this establishment,
it means that the White & Horne
Co. live up to every meaning of the
word.
There are printers almost without
number in the State. Some are good.
some poor and others just ordinary.
The White & Horne Co. belong dis
tinctly and distinctively in the
good class. The reason for this is
not hard to seek, for the business
has been built on a foundation of
square dealing and 100 per cent.
honesty.
1t was four years ago when Gar
field w. Horne and Alton l.. White
started this business. They deter
mined at that time that the Golden
Rule should be their guide and
those who have had dealings with
! the concern believe that this motto
| has been successfully followed. In
1928, Mr.. Horne died, but, true to
i the slogan of the firm, Mr.. White has
continued the business.
Commercial printing is specialized
/ in by the company and that it has
! been successful is proved by the fact
| that for all the field is a highly COM
/ petitive one in this section. the VOL
| ume Is growing and it will continue
| to grow.
| In addition to the printing part OF
| the business, the White & Horne Co.
| carry a full line of Dennisons goods
| for which there is always a keen de-
! mand.

SHIRLEY Buster THAN
EVER THESE DAYS

Buster than ever is the way that
Joe" Shirley may be described these
days. Since he erected that gas
filling station opposite the Augusta
house, he has found his time pretty
well occupied. Not only has he con-
structed an attractive looking place,
but he was fortunate enough to Sc
cure the location right opposite the
big hotel on the State road. Very
naturally, therefore, there has been
a steady demand for gas, minor re-
pairs and auto accessories at this
place.
But in addition to his State street
establishment, Mr.. Shirley still has
his garage on Bridge street where
all kinds of automobile repair work
are done and done well. When Joe
sleeps is not known, but one thing
is certain, whether he sleeps or not,
he never loses that famous Shirley
smile" for which he is noted.

if the number of practitioners is in
creasing, then the demand for chiro-
practic treatment must also be in
creasing. 1t certainly is, as Is at
tested by the ever increasing num-
Der of people who agree as to the
benefits that have been derived.
Mr.. Baxter himself characterizes
the profession as: 1.-THE most rapid

business in this section and never
finds time hanging idly on his hands.

PICARD MAKING
BUSINESS BOOM

Gilbert Picard for the past few
weeks has been grocer. He is well
known in this whole section so. when
he purchased the store of J. A. Che
nard on Bridge street, it was but
natural that his friends would be
willing to patronize him. This has
been the case and he has been graft
fed to find that the business he has
secured has proved a successful one.
The store on Bridge street was
always a popular one with the fam

of fine quality and an unusually
large assortment of delicacies made
the establishment rather distinctive
and this attribute still holds. House
keepers find Picard's just as much a
desirable place to trade as Chenards
and with the great amount of atten-
ton that Mr.. Picard is giving to the
business, there is every reason to be-
heve that it will be more successful
than 1t has ever been.

LABORITES REVOLT
Old School British Trade Unlonists Regarded As Fossilizcd By New Leaders.

London, Aug. 3 R)-Trade union- ists of the old school, who arc re- garded as fossilized by the new leaders, such as A. J. Cook, secre- tary of the Miners Federation, are shaking their heads over the latest demonstration of the power achieved by the unions in connection with the threatened strike of coal miners last week.
 George Nicoll Barnes, who served as labor member of the house of commons for Glasgow from 1906 10 1922, and who for many years has taken an active part in the Coopora- tive movement, told the Daily Mail that when years ago he helped or ganize the unskilled workers he nev- CT foresaw that they one day would take the community by the throat. v
 "In view of what happened last week." he declared, "the community must in some way resort itself and become the top dog. The red ele- ment, although very small in num- Der, has assumed the direction. It is represented only to small extent among the positions of authority in the trade unions, but the leaders are being dragged along by it.
 Among the signatories of last weeks order forbidding the trans port of coal in the event of a strike were men who knew the goal tC which they were heading and "hc would see blood spilled without com junction. K X The future course of events cannot be forecast; one can only think the country is march. ing to industrial chaos"
