GETTING THE MOST
OUT Of WRECKAGE

There isn't much doing In the
mouse moving game these days, but
when there is a house to move, A. u
Hall Of Augusta, does 1t. The NOV
Ing OF houses, as any one should
know, 10 a job that requires care. The
house must be kept level. the walls
must not be cracked, the chimney
must be looked after and q lot of
other things attended to. All these,
Mr.. Hall does when a job is under
way. So well does he do the work
that there have been cases when
families have continued to live In
their homes when the moving process
has been under way.
Along with the moving Of houses,
Mr.. Hall is a building wrecker. This
job Is entirely apart from the house
moving stunt. 1t Is a moving job of
an entirely different kind, but one
that requires a lot OF care just the
same.
Thesman who successfully takes
down a house or other buildings
must be able to salvage a greater
part of the material There is al
ways market for second hand lum-
Der. doors, windows. bricks and other
things that go into a house. These

with the greatest of care so that they
may be used again.
Mr.. Hall has been successful in this
phase of his work and much material
which a less experienced worker
would throw away, he has been able
to salvage for the benefit of the
owner.
In addition to these two lines OF
activity, Mr.. Hall has been the stree,
commissioner of the city of Augusta
for the past few years. He has car
ried the same care into this work
that he has into his own line of bust
ness. But, If the truth were known
1T is possible that he has found il
harder to please all the people of the
city than it Is to move an eight room
house without breaking the plaster
ing. Mr. Hall. himself, would never
say such thing, for he is not given
to much complaining. but there Is
little doubt but them has been his
sentiments" on MANY occasions.

Inc James Walker e Son Co, of

against cold is to be found in storm

Hlshest order. Work is turned out

But it isn't in the making of doors
and windows that the Walker com
pany confines all it's attention. Cen
eral lumber is handled. Dimension
work of all kinds is gotten out at the
mill and house finish of all kinds is
manufactured there. The Walker
trucks may be seen making deliveries
IN all parts of kennebec county. If
the concern depended wholly upon
the trade secured in Gardiner, then
II could not maintain the big estab-

products on all sides and ON all sides
they are being delivered.

| MAINE GOODS
WELL SPREAD OUT

The r. p. Hazard Co. chain of
shoe stores is steadily growing, Only
this year, the Augusta and Wateryille
stores were opened, but SO estab-
lished have they become that. to the
average resident Of these two cities,
1t seems as If they had been here for
years.
The r. p. Hazard Co. has its main
Offices located in Gardiner. This big
shoe concern is one of the best
known, not only in Maine, but
throughout the eastern part of the
country. Thousands of pairs of shoes
are turned out every day to be sent
to the hundreds of stores that stretch
right through New England into New
York state.
Mr.. Hazard himself has always
been an enthusiastic believer in the
State OF Maine. He is doing his part
toward spreading the fame of Maine
products. Four-dollar shoes for men
and women and three dollar shoes
FOR boys and girls have been the
grades upon which the Hazard
company has specialized. These are
the kinds featured in the Hazzard
stores and hundreds of people have
, purchased them with satisfaction.
Hazard stores are all built from
definite plans to link them up into
the big chain they form When a
new store is to be opened, special
Hazard workmen take charge of OBJ
, erations. In Augusta, it was a rev
elation to many to see the way these
men went to their tasks when the
new establishment was being built.
There was not sign of delay.
/ Everything was prepared beforehand,
even to the mosaic in the doorway,
ana everything fitted into it's place
with the nicely that comes only from
careful planning. The result Is all
that could be desired. for there are
Few more attractive stores to be
! found than those of the r. P. Haz-
zard Co., whether they are located in
Bangor Maine, or scattered through
! out the expanse of New York state.
