been dispelled ,that day,

shorts of all
kinds were furnished for the.enter-
taimment of the children and grown-
ups, as well. Football, softball and
horse-shoe throwing occupied the at-
tention of the older people, while the,

Walker & Clegg factory nine years
ago, and who have been expanding
ever since, until a year ago when it
was found necessary to take over the
entire factory. Since using the whole
factory their growth has been much
More rapid. In May of this year
were employing 1z4hands, while on
Monday of this week in talking with
the Superintendant, they had on the
pay roll 115, and more rnen still need-
ed, in the fly trintnters, rubbers and
band saw departments,
The increasing business has made
necessary the enlarging of the kiln,
and when completed will handle 40,-
000 feet more lumber per month than
at the present time, They 'are also

installing new and up-to-date mach-
inery to speed up production, all of

which is now on order.
For the last few years this firm at
the end of each year found that al-
though they were increasing their
output they would still be several
thousand seats behind their orders,
and so to remedy this they inauguart-
ed the night shift, comprised of 20
men in the mill •r.00rn, and working
entirely on the manufacture of the
Gunn' Seat, The night shift, although
it may not be permanent, will run
for at least two or three months,
With their present staff of 115,
they have enough orders on hand to
keep thein running tip to the middle
of January next year, even if they
did not receive a single order from
now until that time. -
