BELFAST

Pullman Bros, manufacturers of
the Pullman Pants, are seeking to
enlarge their interests in Belfast and
other Waldo county towns where
they have factories but the question
of help is confronting them. There
is plenty of work for men and women
and Belfast Chamber of Commerce,
recently sent out an sos for help.
The Pullman Bros, can use so ad-
ditional help and intend to enlarge
their local plant sufficiently to take
on 100 more, while their Brooks
plant is also to be enlarged. This
company now has plants in operation
in Searsport. Stockton, Winterport,
Unity, Brooks and Union and John
Pullman of the firm, who has just
come on from the New York head
quarters is a big booster for Belfast
believing that it is the one place in
all Maine in which to live. He be-
lieves that the city should start an
advertising campaign at once setting
forth the benefits, advantages and
the beauties of Belfast, and draw here
a large number of people. There is
plenty of work for men and women,
in fact the only problem which now
confronts Pullman Bros, is the lack
of help. Their products are sold to
the big wholesalers all over the
country, they have plenty of work
and help is all that is needed today.
Joseph Pullman of the firm has
made his home in Belfast for several
wears and John and his family from
New York are here for the Summer.
The Belfast Rotary Club was the
guest Monday night at the North
port Country Club of Mrs. Annie
Berry and Mrs. Josephine Gaylord.

while trainer of athletes the past

cats whiskers for such troubles,
declares genial smiling Mike Martin
the man who keeps high priced big
league ball players in condition. (No
ball player could play with hurting,
achy feet)
Mike Martin has handled thousands
of professional and university run

He is a wizard at fixing up folks and
doing it quick.
Thousands of men and women
suffer with their feet-some of course
have serious foot troubles actually
requiring operations or arch supports
but a lot of folks are wearing arch
supports who don't need them. Work
ers standing all day suffer terribly.
Elderly people, fat people, women with
weak ankles that turn too easy. old

simply they can get rid of such trou-
