BIG BUSES BEGET
BETTER BUSINESS

If there is anything with which the
automobilists who drive about CEN
trail Maine are familiar it is with the
buses of the White Line. At all
points on the highways between Au-
gusta and Lewiston, Waterville and
Rockland are these big cars met,
making their regular trips and roll
ing up the mileage by the thousand.
The busses and big touring cars
used by this company have filled a
need in this section of the state.
Travelling men have used them to
make quick trips between the cities.
Work that might have required the
expenditure of whole day before. is
done in less than half that time now.
Instead of being six hours between
Rockland and Augusta, as has been
necessary by rail, the trip is now
done in a third Of the time.
The White Line makes five trips a
day over the route from Lewiston to
Waterville by the way of Augusta
and three trips between Augusta and
Rockland on week days. On Sun
days, three trips are made on the
lewiston Waterville route.

it was then called, was located at ~
Bridge street. Steady advertising
backed up with delivering the goods
that are advertised has resulted IN
such an increase in business that the
service has had to seek larger quar-
tiers. AS a result, the Augusta Auto
Electric Service is now at Is Bridge
street, just a step from Water street,
so that all car owners. are able TO
reach the place without any great
distance to travel.>
It Ia little wonder that good work
is done at this service station Tor
the owner and proprietor, Ronald
Murphy, has the goods. In other
words, it may be mentioned in pass
ing that he went to the Michigan
State Auto school. took all the cours,
ca that dealt with battery, electrical
and mechanical work, and graduated
| with honors. Since a year ago iast
spring he has been doing his work
in Augusta and progress and pros
perity have been marked ever since.
| On top of his technical qualifications;
he has an unfailing good nature ana
a desire to please that counts
whole lot-especially in the automo-
| bile service game.

in short order and by the use of
huge quantity of material
1t is interesting to note, that IN
renairine, the foundation of this pier,
for all the water was low in the
river. the workmen had to go down
10 feet below the bottom of the pier,
right down to the bed of the river.
on top of this, or rather under this,
they had to dig in beneath the pier
for a distance of IA feet. A coffer-
dam had to be built to keep the wa
ter away so that the cement would
set. Fortune in the guise of low wa
ter in the river and comparatively
good weather helped the contractors
and the job was completed much
sooner than might otherwise have
been the case.
Repairing this foundation Is but
one of the many jobs, big and small,
that Swift &, Anderson have done up
and down the Kennebec river on
land and in the water during the
past 10 years. This represents the
time that Oscar H. Anderson and Nj.
H. Swift have been associated to-
gether. Neither is a native of Au-
garded as among the best citizens
of the Capital City
In all kinds of masonry work,
Swift & Anderson have specialized.
Whether it is building a retaining
wall or cleaning out the chimney Of
a private residence, that same care
marks their work. AS mason con-
tractors, their services have been in
demand everywhere and the work
they have done has been the kind
that STAYS put.

MILES OF WELL HOLES
DUG into GROUND

n. w. Brown, II Noyes place, Au-
gusta, is a well-digger. That may
sound very simple when one says It
quick, but it is far from being a
simple occupation.
There was a time when all a man
had to do when it came to digging
a well was to pick up his pick and
his shovel and go to it, From a bus
mess that required only muscle, well
digging has come to be an occupa-
ton that takes brains, especially
when the digging of artesian wells. is
considered.
Mr.. Brown confines his attention
to the artesian variety and he has
come to be regarded as one of the
best men in the line in the State of
Maine. Locating the vein of water
and then drilling for it means good
solid hard work. The job requires
the exercise of skill, too. for there
are times when many feet of ledge
have to be bored in order that the
vein may be reached and the water
brought to the surface Of the earth

householders have put off having
their heating plants examined and
put into shape for the winter. Now
that the need of them is felt, there
has been a big rush to the telephone
and it has been case of "Blaisdell,
do this" and "Blaisdell, do that.
Yet the smiling and hustling pro-
prietor at TIA Water street, Gardiner,
keeps his patience through it all and
cleans up the various jobs as fast as
he can. This keeping. everlastingly
at it has been one of the reasons why
he has been so successful, for his
rise to success has been rapid. He
has been in business for himself on
ly a couple of years and in that
time, the business has grown so that
he has had to move from where he
started to the larger quarters ne
now occupies.
While Mr.. Blaisdell does all kinds
of heating and plumbing, he features
Andes pipe and pipeless furnaces. a
make he regards as among the best
to be found on the market.

=, tho CITY. it has risen rapidly IN
h,,siness and it is no uncommon oc-
currence for the Diplock truck TO be
sent miles away from home with
load of household goods for delivery.
Those who remember the old en-,

hardly recognize it in the Dlplock

The building, after being vacated by
the city, was thoroughly remodelled'

for the relief of some factory or some
dwelling where no other supply OF
water is available.
Because of his experience, MI
Brown has been called to all parts OF
Maine to dig wells. AS soon as the
frost is out Of the ground in the
spring and as late as it Is possible
to work in the fall he is kept on the
Jump all the time with his apparatus.
Just how many feet of well holes he
has dug, it would be hard to say but
If these holes were laid end to end,
they would reach some mighty con-
siderable distance.

wallace Diplock company on Bridge
