THE VERMONT PIICENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1911. 5 .PROGRESSIVE BRATTLEBORO. Complimentary Editorial. Reference In .Springfield Board of Trade Publication, Western New England. Tubllc notice of- tho right sort, and plenty of It, Is Riven tills town In the current Issue, Juno, of Western New England, a monthly publication Issued by tho Sprlngfl6ld ' bonrd of trade. A column Is devoted to the Urattleboro board of trade', and three pages arc given up to an account of the Better Urattleboro campaign, Including half tone pictures of Frank Dyer, Clnrko C. Fltts, Hcv. Roy M. Houghton, Col. J. Gray Estcy, George L. Dunham and the Auditorium stage, where the meetings were held. In a circular , letter solicit ing subscriptions of the members of the local board of trade the editor of West on New England says: "We will gladly give Brattleboro a page In each Issup of the magazine If tho board of trade will furnish the material for It and If the citizens are with us." . In an editorial preface to the ar ticle, by Bev. R. M. Houghton, secre tary of the campaign committee, on tho Better Urattleboro campaign, tho maga zine says: "Urattleboro Is ono of the most progressive towns In Western New England; Its board of trade can furnish am inspiration and a- model to lots of communities, both large and small. The Better Urattleboro campaign' has been widely noted nnd so favorably that sev eral other places, nmong them Spring field, are already contemplating similar campaigns. TMils sketch of the plan and results by one prominently associated with It gives an excellent Idea of the campaign." Following Is tho text of the article en titled "What Ono Hoard Has Done": "Tho Urattleboro board of trade holds some records. There Is reason .to be lieve that It Is the largest board of trade in any community of Brattleboro's size in New England, and it Is which is more importnnt ono of tho most suc cessful in accomplishment. Through Its Instrumentality new industries have been secured for the town nnd business con ditions and civic spirit Improved. "Tho board of trade Is not unmindful of the moral and social Interests of the community. They united enthusiastically with the churches In carrying on tho no llcense campaign which resulted In an overwhelming majority for no-license. It has an Inducement to offer Industries and Individuals who wish to be in a town where there are 12 churches and no saloons. The new industrial devel opments now under way are sure to bring one thousand men to Urattleboro within a few months. Tho board of trade fully appreciates the Importance of furnishing houses for these new citizens and a definite movement Is under way for building beautiful and sanitary ten ement houses. ' j 1 "The board of trade's activities have been diverse. The organization has spent hundreds of dollars In advertising. Some of Its members were instrumental In the building of the dam across tho Connecticut river which Is an attraction for new Industries and greatly beautl llcs the town by forming a lake about 5 miles long where boating is enjoyed in summer and skating In winter; It, con tributed a large bonus toward securing the Felch & I'ler chair factory, and It is Intensely Interested and active In tho local railroad situation. Tho largest monument to its endeavors Is tho Fort Dummer Cotton Mills, which are now in the process of construction. These mills are to be capitalized at $450,000 and $120, 000 of the stock was raised In Brattle "boro, $90,000 of which was subscribed by members of the board of trade. "Older Industrial enterprises have given Brattleboro a world-wide reputation. Tho most noteworthy of these is the Estey Organ company, which employs about 400 men; the Hooker, Corser & Mitchell Overall company employs about 225; the S. A. Smith company employs 125; the White River Chair company employs 200; E. L. Hlldreth & Co., printers, eighty; and the Vermont Print ing company, CO; the Carpenter Organ company employs CO men; the Dunham Brothers, wholesale boot and shoe mer chants, have an ofllce force of CO and 20 agents in tho field. Five strong banks are a testimony to the standing of tho town as a commercial centre. To these older enterprises the board of trade, un der tho leadership of its energetic presi dent, Dennlson Cowles, Is continually adding new enterprises. "Towns and small cities may well look to Urattleboro for example and en couragement. Success of this sort Is, first of all, the result of 'the spirit he hind.' Such a spirit is coming to be recognized throughout the country as a great civic asset."

Tho Borden Condensed Milk Company, one of the largest milk companies in tho United Stntes, has placed an order with tho Unndllhi Silo Company for a number of silos to bo used on their experimental farms throughout the, country. Prior to 1910 the Borden company refused milk from cows thnt had been fod on ensilage, for the reason that in nlmost every in stance tho ensilnge was In n semi-decayed condition when fed, to the cows. During the past year the Unadllla Silo Company sold over 100 silos to p,itrons of the Borden Company, and these silos hnve proved so satisfactory that the company took up the line of experiments and found that the ensilage kept in these silos was not affected, ns In many other eases,. The result Was that they have now placed a large' order with the Una dllln firm for silos to be used this season. These silos nro to bo used on 'nil the Borden experimental farms throughout the conutry. The feature of the Unadllla Company's silo Is tho continuous, air tight, adjustable door-front, which pro vents decay of the ensilage, The small number of Borden milk sta tions in this vicinity Is attributed to tho' fact that the company had refused to take milk from patrons using silos, but now that the Borden Compnny have themselves adopted tho silo, their fac tories will no doubt become more com mon In this section, C C Burnham of Vernon is tho local agent for tho Unn dlllo Silo Company, BRATTLEDORO PERSONAL.
