For years, the North has been
noted for its dining room. Quick
service, food well cooked and lots of
it, have served to make this popular

INDUSTRIAL REVIEW
AN ART THAT'S
LITTLE UNDERSTOOD

VI all the mysteries Of modern life,
.nere isn't any that surpasses in in
terest the method of getting a picture
In the newspaper,
1al1tones and rotograveurs are SO
common that the average individual
just accepts them as a matter of
course. But to make a halftone plate
and print it in the paper is really an
art. 1t must be so regarded, for It is
more than mere trade. In the work
tnat 1t has been doing In this re-
spect, the Augusta Engraving Co.
compares favorably with any in the
eastern part of the country.
But 1t isn't only in newspaper cuts
tnat this company has gained recog-
milton. The finest of half-tones for
magazines are also made bv this con-
Germ. Line cuts are prominent
product. AS matter Of fact, any,
thing that~is capable of being repro
duced, whether in one color or several
colors. may be made at the Augusta
Engraving Co. into a cut that will be
faithful to the original
A few weeks ago, in the windows
of the First National Granite bank
concrete illustrations of how cuts
are made were given. Hundreds of
people stopped to look at the exhibit
For the first time they received a
faint idea Of the great amount of
work involved in the making of cut
But the various stages in the work
Of making a cut as shown in the
window were far from telling the
whole story. To learn what Is done
and how it is done one should really
visit an engraving plant. He should
see the original picture as it is placed
before the camera to be photographed
on the zinc plate through a screen"
He should examine this screen and
see how many lines there are to the
inch. He should, too, see how the
metal plate when has been sensitized
is cared for and how it is later de
veloped" in a way that is far differ
ent from the ordinary Photographic
| process. There are so many things
| to see that one who does not know
may easily spend many minutes in
watching the process. wondering just
what is going to result.
Under the direction Of Theodore s.
Whitehouse, the Augusta Engraving
| Co. has been able to turn out and is
turning out work that causes only the
most favorable comment. Augusta
| isn't the only field of operation for
the company by any means for or

| BIG MARKET
| IN SMALL TOWN

1t Is pleasure to 60 into the
the Winthrop market at Winthrop. It
is pleasure, too, to meet l. A. Hills,
the proprietor. for though Winthrop,
as towns go, is a small place, the
Winthrop market may hold up its
head with any of the stores in Maine,
and maybe New England, no matter
what the size of the city or town.
Many of the grocery stores, today
are conducting bakeries in connection
with their regular business. The
Winthrop market has bakery and 1t
is one In which not only Mr.. Hills but
all the people of that section take a
distinct pride. 1t has been found of
the greatest convenience and value to
the hundreds of summer visitors in
that vicinity this year. The tasty
bread, delicious cakes and pies and
the other goods all have the favor
of home made articles and are far
more desirable than goods purchased
from the big" bakeries.
In visiting the Winthrop market,
one is at once struck with the size of
the store. In front are the groceries
and the bakery goods while in the
rear is meat market that is a
model Of neatness. Everything is
conveniently arranged so that the
promptest of service may be given.
In connection with the grocery
store, Mr.. Hills also has a Kitchen
ware department which is right next
door. wholly separate from the main
store. This is abundantly stocked
with all those things that a house,
wife needs for cooking and for max
ing housework lighter.
Just as there are other enterprises
in Winthrop that are noted, so the
Winthrop market because of the
great popularity 1t enjoys, may also
be regarded as one of Winthrop's in

FALL REPAIRS
NOW IN ORDER

Fall is not yet here officially, but
there have been many suggestions of
it in the past few cold nights. That
means that 1t is time to be thinking
about those chages that are necessary
to put the home in good shape for
the really cold days that are to come
The ]. NJ. Nichols Co., of which
j. s. Nichols is the head, is an Au-
gusta contracting concern that has
built up an enviable reputation for
the high class of worksperformed and
for the promptness with which or
ders are executed.
1t seems to be a trait of human
nature to put off things until the last
minute. In the case of needed re-
pairs, that always means that every
one wishes his work done at the same
time. This produces a congestion
that isn't pleasing to anyone. Mr.
Nichols strongly advises that orders
for fall work be put in now to give
his men plenty of time and to be sure
that the householder has his work
done before the real need comes.
The fixing of roofs, storm windows
new doors, bracing up of steps-in-
Vulnerable things need to be done in
the fall. The J. M. Nichols CO. has a
corps Of skilled workers and whether
it is just the matter of fixing a leaky
gutter or of building a whole house,
the same high quality of work is
done.
1t will not be long before furnace
fires are started. Here is a very rea
situation to be met, for great ma
jority Of fires in the home are caused
by defective chimneys. The Nichols
masons will fix a chimney not only sc
that it will be safe, but also so it will
| draw and provide a proper draft i
! is the right time now to have these
| faults remedied. Cellar walls, plaster
on the ceiling, refinishing of walls
and many other things need atten-
ton. 1t is the right time for the
householder to put in his order.

PROPER WATER
SYSTEM NEEDED

OF course there are. lots Of things
that make the life of the average
farmer a hard one, but the toughest
of all is being forced to carry water
for many hundreds and sometimes
thousands of feet during dry spell.
This is the situation that has faced
many a farmer in Maine during the
present dry spell. Wells have been
low and to care for stock has re-
quired the carting of water for long
distances in some cases.
The installation of a good water
system on the farm would meet and
do away with many of the difficulties
that present themselves during
drought. The Light company
has just announced a new line of
high grade water systems for the
home that are ideal for farm, summer
Halloweu has the agency for these
and so satisfying have they proved
that they are increasing in popularity
every week.
Two models Of these systems are
being featured. The No 202 is a di-
rect pressure water system for use
where a storage tank is not required.
This is a shallow well pump with
lift of approximately % feet. A large
pressure chamber, approximately )
by 10 inches makes practically auto
matte operation. A 10 horsepower
motor is furnished and the capacity
of the pump is 200 gallons an hour
This unit meets popular demand FOR
q high grade, low priced water sys-
tenn.
Model oo5 is a 200 gallon per hour
shallow we'll pump, having pressure
tank of 25 gallons capacity. This IS
the same pump as used in the No. 2O2
model except that it is furnished with
the 25-gallon storage tank mounted
on the same base. This tank has
sufficient capacity to take care OF the
temporarily heavy demands when
water is drawn from several outlets
at the same time.
d. water systems are made In
larger sizes and many styles. both
deep and shallow well, to meet prac-
tically any water need. The econo.
nv in their use and the time saved
are we'll worth while. Woods garage
is ready to discuss them with any
person interested.

| HARRY'S SIGNS
| OF The Times
Harry can make signs.

Harry can make signs.
All of Augusta knows that and,
during the short time he has been
here. Harry has proved that no mat
ter what kind of a sign is wanted he
Is able to produce it.
"Harry's Sign System" is the trade
name Of the business conducted by
Harry J. M. Foss at 161 Water
street. Here will be found a mighty
interesting place to visit. Lettering
Of signs Is an accomplishment that
few possess. 1t is difficult for many
people to write SO that 1t can be read.
How much more difficult is 1t, then,
to letter where all the different
characters are to be as accurately
drawn as if they were made from
type!
The drawing of letters is an art
that has its rules just as any other
vocation has. Letters may be fancy
or they may be plain, but they must
conform to certain restrictions. They
must always be in character" too.
for sign must be done in series,
or combination of harmonious let
tiers, just as much as a good job Of
printing. Then, too, the character of
the letters should fit the subject they
are supposed to describe or to which
attention is to be attracted. One
should never use letters on a sign
about women's lingerie that ought to
be used in the sale of boilers.
Harry Foss does signs in all med
iums, and on all materials. A
card for a window or a huge
sign with raised letters over a store
are equally well turned out by him.
Colors, gold leaf silver leaf or any
other material may be used. Com
mercial lettering and designing also
figure into his work while electrical
signs also come in for attention.
Promptness in execution of the job
in hand Is one of the big things that
has made Harry's signs SO much de-
sired in this section.
