NEW BASKET MILL AT
CLAYTON - Stephen Walker of
Kenton, whom we noted sometime
ago as intending to erect basket
factory at his saw mill, after get
ting his material together, for com
considerations, changed his
mind, purchased corner lot of A.
L. Hudson at Clayton (the corner
of the Horace Spruance farm ad-
joining that town. and or Monday
six carpenters commenced the busy
work of erecting the structure with
the expectation of having it done
by the middle of May. The build
ing is 80 by so feet, two stories,
and will be enlarged as the de-
mands upon it increase. Mr. Walk
er's familiarity with the lumber
business will give him superior ad-
in keeping in supply Of
stock. The prospect Of a better
supply Of baskets will be appreci-
ated by the peach growers, espec-
lally the unfortunate ones who in
the busy season last year could not
get them for love nor money.
