The brick walls of the new factory
of the National Wood Process, Inc.
now being built on the outskirts of
this village are rising RAPIDLY above
the cement foundation, and many of
the multitude of steel window frames
are already in place. The work is
proceeding with great rapidity, and
those who were inclined to be skepti-
cal about the possibility of closing
the building in before winter, are be-
ginning to take a different view of
the situation. And in spite of the
haste necessary TO accomplish this,
the work is being well done, and the
factory, when completed. will be a
fine building. Much interest in the
work is taken by the townspeople,
and there are spectators there pretty
much all the time.
