STEADY SERVICE
IN ALL WEATHERS

The White Line Buses now have
another successful summer back of
them. Running their regular trips
between Augusta and Lewiston and
Waterville, they have proved that
automobiles in this section Of the
State may successfully be operated
for passenger service.
In fair weather or foul, on warm
days and on cold, the White Line has
maintained its service. No matter
how fiercely the rain may have come
down or how bad the wind may have
blown, the cars have made their
runs
1t is no mean job to maintain
regular schedule with the great
amount of traffic there is on the
roads these days. But the White
line has succeeded in doing 1t and
doing it so well that hundreds of
travelling men and others have found
the service given ideal for their pur-
poses.
Five trips every day from Augusta
to Lewiston and from Augusta to
Waterville have been maintained
while on Sundays the schedule has
called for three trips. Trips to
Lewiston start from the Hotel North.
commercial street entrance. at 8,
nnd 1915 in the forenoon and 100,
AIS and 700 in the afternoon and
evening. To Waterville. the week
day trips start at $50 and Ills in
the forenoon and at 2. 445 and 7.30
in the afternoon. This is a pretty
strenuous schedule. but 1t has been
maintained without accident and it
is the aim OF the management to
keep up the schedule right through
the fall and winter so long as it is
humanity possible for automobiles to
get through the roads

INDUSTRIAL REVIEW
old Time SMITH
RIGHT IN PRIME

Biacksmiths of the old school are
Lar from common these days. Black
smiths like Charles r. Shaw of
Arsenal street, Augusta, are so rare
That 1t is like meeting a hero of
some old time tale to come across
one.
Charles Shaw claims to be the
dean of all blacksmiths now in ac-
tive business in New England for he
has over half a century of service to
his credit. Fifty years he has piled
his trade, but to see him and to talk
with him, one Duld hardly think he
Is more than so years old himself.
But a real veteran he is and when
he talks about the old days, long
before automobiles were even
thought of, one can call to mind the
sights of the old-time shops. AS Mr..
Shaw talks, one can seem to see the
horses being driven UP to the door
and led inside, to smell the peculiar
odor of shoeing and to hear the
creaking of the bellows as the coal
in the forge is famed to q glowing
heat.
Blacksmithing days will never be
what they were. Even Mr.. Shaw
admits that, but he isn't a bit dis
couraged over the fact. Being a
progressive citizen himself, he has
fitted his business in with the times
as they are today. There are still
carriage springs to be made and
automobile springs, too. There is
still much forging to be done and
when Mr.. Shaw does it. one may be
assured that the work is right.
More than that. Mr.. Shaw guar
antees his work and that proves
that he must be a master at it, or he
wouldn't be so confident that the re-
suits would meet with approval
1t is worth anyone's time to drop
in at the shop at Al Arsenal street.
To watch the work turned out is a
treat in itself, but to talk with Mr..
Shaw, to hear him tell of the old
days. to listen to stories of in
dustrial activities in Massachusetts
when he was younger is an educa-
ton. The best of it is, Mr.. Shaw en-
joys having his friends drop in and
the friends enjoy it, too.

QUIETEST MAN
IN THE COUNTY

In all probability. the quietest
man in Kennebec county is l.. +. AL
bee.
Mr.. Albee is an automobile man.
Most automobile men are far from
silent but, since he doesn't sell cars,
he has little occasion to- talk. But he
is simon-pure 100 per cent auto
mobile man just the same. for his
duty it is to fix automobiles.
Now there are some who say they
can fix automobiles so they will be
o. K, but these folks don't always
make good on their job. It's diff
ferent with Albee. He has yet to
have a dissatisfied customer and If
this doesn't win him some credit In
st. Peters big book, then nothing
will.
Being a quiet man, L. F. Albee
uses his energy in thinking and
working. IF an ailing auto comes to
his establishment on Bangor street,
he gets right at the trouble as soon
as possible. Knowing autos as he
does, the chances are that the diff
ficulty will be shortly discovered
and in the shortest time possible, the
troubles will be remedied
First class auto repairing" is
what Mr.. Albee advertises. And
that's just what he provides as hun
dreds of satisfied owners will testify,
especially when they have been to
other places and not received the
treatment they thought their cars
should have had.
Mr.. Albee maintains authorized
service on Star and Durant cars.
But that doesn't mean he isn't Just
as much at home working on the in
nards of other makes, for he is. AS
a matter Of fact. he is pretty familiar
with all makes Of cars and is gener-
ally able to cure their ills in no time
at all.

pacity Of about 1000 people including
the gallery. large stage with a
seating capacity of 100 pupils for
graduation exercises and other oc-
casions, and spacious ante rooms at
either side.
Below the auditorium is the gym
nasium with a playing floor 40 by 70
feet and galleries on either side large
enough to seat from 400 to 500 people.
Connected with this are large boiler
andkshower rooms for both boys and
girls.
The heating plant is a low pressure
steam system with a central fan
blower system for ventilation which
forces fresh air to all parts Of the
building. The sanitary equipment
compares favorably with the best In
the State of Maine.
The keynote in the design of this
building was economy and the archi-
tects feel that the results obtained
were more than satisfactory. The
cost per pupil was only little in
excess of 5000 which is regarded as
extremely low for high school work
with the large amount OF space
necessary for vocational work and
physical training.

cational rooms and administrative

Time TO HAVE
CHRISTMAS PHOTOS

The portrait season is at hand
again. There is a period Of the
year, during the warm months, when
the photographer Is not as busy as
he might be. But summer is over
and the time has come when pict-
ures will again be taken.
At least, the Ford studio at 1888
Water street is showing marked
signs of activity. Last spring, this
was changed from the Campbell
studio to its present name when the
new owner moved here from up
State
During the short time he has been
here, George Z. Ford has made many
friends. The children, especially,
have enjoyed going to his place and
found that he is a real friend to
them, that they are made to feel at
ease. Mothers have found. too, that
childrens portraits are good por-
traits, so they, too. have been pleas

Fall is now officially here. Winter

Ford studio is already taking orders
for Christmas pictures. There will
be a big rush at the last moment
lust as there always is, but it is the
early caller who will get the most
satisfaction out of trip to the
photographers Mr.. Ford advises
that Christmas photos be taken as
soon as possible and that engage
ments for sittings be made now.
Experienced in all angles of the
work and a skilled photographer, the
Ford photographs have proved popu-
lar. A pleasing feature that the
proprietor has inaugurated is night
sittings for those who cannot go to
the studio by day. With the power
full lights provided most gratifying
results are obtained. People going
out for the evening will find it con-
venient on their way to the theatre
or to some social gathering to drop
in, have their sitting and then fill
their engagement.

BIG JOBS ARE
!. HIS SPECIALITY

On this page of the Journal, there
is a small ad which contains only
these words: Building Movers and
House Wrecking. Tel. 1306-W, 6
Federal ST., Augusta"
Not word as to who this gentle
man may be who moves or wrecks
houses. But there's really no secret
about it, for the person in question
is Albert e. Hall. Mr.. Hall figures
that his name won't move house,
but that If anyone calls his home,
he'll be able to do the job whether
his name is Hall or something else.
That's just the way it is, too. II
there are buildings that require
moving. Mr.. Hall will do the trick in
a way that will hardly make Jar in
the whole structure. So well does he
do his house moving act, that bricks
in chimneys do not even get dis
placed nor does the building fail to
maintain an even keel during the
whole moving operation.
The house wrecking part of Mr..
Halls business has nothing to do
with the moving part. OF course
there are some people who couldn't
move a house without wrecking it.
But with Mr.. Hall it is different.
Wrecking to him means just what 1t
does to the world in general: the
tearing down of a building so that
all the material that can be salvaged
is saved. This in itself is no mean
kind of a job. 1t requires skill to
tear down structure just as it does
to build one. AS matter of fact. it
is easier sometime, to put material
IN place than it is to take it out
again and still have it so that it
may be used again.
AS if the moving and wrecking of
buildings were not pastime enough,
Mr.. Hall is also the street commits
sioner of Augusta. In this job he has
demonstrated that he knows his
business and the general improve
ment of Augustus streets since he
took charge is the best proof of how
he has done his work.

would be hard to find 1t.
The Blodgett place is busy every

varied lines of activity carried on,
there is every reason why this should
be so. To begin with, the Blodgett
place is one where an automobilist
may be sure that the work done on
his car is well done. Vulcanizing is
also carried on here and so well is
the work performed that the Blod-
gets have continuous calls for their
service.
