Tho Woodsldo Cotton Mills Company,

titled to better margins even at the prices

law imto itseir. That is to say there nre
certain rules nnd regulations which apply
differently in the case of different fabrics,
mid the manufacturers who expect to turn i
out a thoroughly good piece of chinchilla
I must be familiar with the kind of stock i
i best adapted for it, the way to lay It out, I
its projer handling in the gray and final
ly its finishing. It is admitted that the 1
linnl secret of a successful chinchilla lies
In its being properly finished. It Is here 1
that the chief difficulty in the present situ
ation is found, and it is in the finishing I
room th.it most manufacturers not fa- ,
miliar with the production of chluchillns
will stumble. i
"Thst thero are manufacturers who ap-'.
preciate thn importance of the finisher in I
; the manufacture of chinchillas Is indi
i rated in a number of more or less amusing
i.torles.'nll of which clearly illustrate the ,
sudden popularity of finishers who have i
Iliad experience on cliinchlllas. In the'

processes of the chinchilla havo either
passed out of the business or to a degree
have forgotten what they knew This
has plueed the very few finishers who nre
known to be able to finish chinchilla sue. '
cessfully nt an unusual premium. Tho
i-tory is told or a finisher who reported to
his employer that he was going to cha nge
hi-, po-ition. He was being paid $ .fiii c.
diiy.and upon being pressed conlld ed t tint
lie had been offered u position at tn a day. I
Upon being pressed fun her ho admitted
I hut hi- elder duty in the new position
would be to finish chinchillas, whereupon
the employer'ttsked him ir he thought lie
could 'make good." He further siik
Rnsted to the finisher that he better go
home and think It over bffore ho made
the change. Tho next morning the tin-
i-her reported for work and guessed ho
would not change his position Tills case
serves to indicate rather clearly the po-i
sltlon that certain mills find themselves'
in when confronted with tho finishing'
problem. The mill in question was about
lo engage H man ut Sn u day to finish
chinchillas who obviously would have,
failed.

The American Telegraph Typewriter has come to stay. It is
the completion of both the telegraph and telephone. It has the
advantage of introducing itself to the world not as a new
invention to be "tried out," but as something for which there
is an immediate demand, that neither telephone nor telegraph
can fill. It is attached to any ordinary telegraph or telephone
line; is operated like an ordinary typewriter, and as the message
appeal's upon the paper of the transmitting machine it simul
taneously appears upon the paper of one or more receiving
machines on the same circuit, as required.
