Stuart, of Cedar Rapids, la., who is now in
Leominster, Mass., writes of a wonderful inven-
tion which he has seen in Leominster, and which
was the product of the inventive genius of D. K.
Marshal], a former Manchester boy. Of the in-
vention, Mr. Stuart says: " O f all I have
ever seen the one I have happened on here is

insufficient to meet their orders and an addition
will be built to the factory. The addition is to be

The additional room will give employment to
several more hands.—Richmond (Ind.), Register.
