Fifield Brothers
New Partnership
Fifleld Eros. Co., the largest and
' best equipped shop of its kind in
i central Maine, has. owing to the
> death of Irving Afield in December.
■ formed a new partnership. The new
Arm is compos'd of the following
partners: Waiter L. Fifield. Ralph B.
I Hemck and Mrs. Martha B. Fifleld.
The officer* of the new company are:
President. R. M. Caldwell; vice pres
ident, H. M. Caldwell; treasurer. W.
,B. Fifleld; secretary and clerk, R. B.
Herrick. The firm name will remain
the same as heretofore.
From January 1, 1320, the garage
i of Fifield Bros. Co., will be run as a
separate incorporated company, un
, der the came of the Capital Oarage
i Co.
Tr.e machine shop business will be
i continued under the able manage
I meat of Alien J. Toung.
Fifleld Brothers first began busi
| ness in 1535 in the old chapel which
I was moved to the upper part of
Green street. In this location they
began manufacturing the Fifleid Au
tomatic Drilling Attachment. They
also made their first Kangc-iy boats
J at this location.
In 1900 they moved to 337 Water
street, their present location, con
tinuing their manufacturing of the
grilling attachment adding to it the
general Jobbing and machine work,
building new boats and marine
launches.
In 1903 they purchased of F. I.
Clark hts general machine shop busi
ness. combining both shops in one.
In 1305 they began building the Cap
ital marine motor, which was design
ed by Walter Fifield. This line was
continued until the high price of ma
terial forced them to eliminate part
of the models, but they still carry on
hand a good assortment
In 1914 the machine shop was
moved to the basement of 333 and
337 Water street to make room for
the Increasing retail business which
was developing.
In September, 1919, the company
secured the services of Ralph B.
Herrick who had been connected
with the New England Te. & Tel. Co.
for Id years, to take charge of the
sales department.
In 1907 the Fiflelds started the first
public garage in Augusta. It was
located at the rear of the Masonic
Temple and run under the name of
the Captial Garage. They continued
in this location for three years, mov
ing to the present location in 1910 at
8 Higgins street, near the Augusta
House. It has been necessary to
build several additions to accomodate
the increasing use of the automobile.

Tom Skeyhii', the Australian sol- j
dier-poet-oratcr whjse lecture. “The ;
Humor of the War” will be the big j
closing evert of this season's Au
?"j»ta Entertainment Course is only'
twenty-three years old. Yet he has
spoken on the platform with Presi
dent Wilson, former ITesidents
.Roosevelt ar.d Taft, ar.d other noted
speakers.
He has filed to overflowing all tfce

cluding Carnegie Hal! ar.d Metro

Brooklyn Academy of Music, Medina
Temple ar. d audit in era in Chicago,
the Tabernacle in Salt Rake City,
ar.d the immense Auditorium in San
Francisco. He has spoken to bigger
audiences than any speaker living.
When he spoke in Carnegie Hall
with Tneodore Hooseveli- at the con
clusion of his address "Teddy”
rushed to him ar.d said: “You are
the greatest soldier-speaker in the
world.” So impressed was Pres
Wilson with Skeyhill's eloquence
that at the conclusion of one of his
speeches the Pres.dent stood up ar.d
saluted tr.e young orator.
The Cleveland Plain D*aler names
him as The most effective speaker :n
.Virenoa." and the Cincinnati En
quirer refers to him as ‘The silver
tongued master of eloquence.” The
iaterary Digest in a page article
calls him “'The Knight of the Holy
Grai! ” The X. Y. Times says he is
“a most eloquent speaker who thrills
his audiences” and the X. Y. Globe;
refers to him as “The greatest in- ,
spiration.” These press notices j
cannot be bought. They are the re- ’
liable opinions o" absolutely reliahle
national pap^r?.
The Australian’s story is sot the
ordinary “over the top" kind. It js
more. It gives the war from all
angles the humor, the love, the
philosophy and the thrills. Tcm
SkeyhiU r.ewed the war as a poet.
He saw its grandeur, its beauty and
its awe, but r.ot its horror. Never
is his story' harrowing or gruesome.
It simply sparkles w.th thrills a~n
laughter. It 5s the greatest wa
story e-vtr t ol d.

Arthur Staples of Lewiston Journal
Our Forum Speaker Sunday Evening
Arthur G. Staples, editor of the |
Lewiston. Journal, who will be the
speaker at the Augusta. Open Forum
in the Winthrop street L'ruversalist
church on Sunday evening, is right
in the cyclonic center of Maine poli
tics.
Tet he has r.'jt been a candidate
for otfice. Nor has he ever been
mentioned in print as a politician.
Yet he is one of the most influential
men In the game. That is why his
address to be given at the Open
Forum on “The Newspaper’s Part in
Making the Nation” will prove of
the greatest value. Some people be
lieve that the influence cf a news
paper, especially a daily, is not as
great as it was in the old.days. Mr. ,
Staples does not take that view. He
will tell why Sunday evening. He j
will aiso tell a great many other i
things the public knows little about. :
Since Mr. Staples has won country- '
wide fame because of his short es- j
says entitled “Just Talks” what he I
has to say on what goes on behind
A Nutritious Diet for AH Age*

mt.tr '
the scenes in newspaper making v,:i
be more than worth while. He is a
wonderfully interesting speaker, too 1
It is safe to believe, therefore, that
the capacity of the Ur.-versalist ;
church will be tested when Mr.
Staples comes The doors will
open at 6 45 and the Forum talk will 1
be given at 7.15.
