Refitting Planing' Mill.— WIth - the
announcement that nese machinery
will shortly be installed at the Gode-
rich Planing Mills, Cambria road,
is coupled the statement that the
mill, which for the past year has been
used merely as a storage house in
connection whit the Kalbfleisch mill,
Zurich, will in the near future resume
its former activity. A new doncrete
floor has been laid in the plant, .pre-
paratory to the placing ni the new
machinery, which will includea plan-
er, a ripper, a shaper and jointer, also
a ripsaw'ani a cut-off saw. bandsaw,
and new motor. The new move has
been made necessary, by the increas-
ing volume of bttsiness, which has de-
veloped to such an extent that the

found inadequate to cope u-ith it. The
mill was . purchased by Fred C. Kalb-
fleisch of Zurich about a year ago.
