THE VERMONT PHCENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1903. BRATTLEBORO LOCAL NEWS. Our Christmas Fire Has Been Kindled CHANQE AT THE 3MITH FACTORY. DEER AND PANTHER IN A RACE. Large Llne of Toys Wlll De Made Here to Supply the Natlonal Novelty Corpo ratlon's Market for the East. I'lans nre belng pcrfccted whlch wlll riiilt 1 ii nn lmportnnt change ln the out , it of the S. A. Smlth Company factory, n . jitated brlelly ln The Phoenlx last week. i;,e Natlonal Novelty corporatlon, re ently organlzed, of whtch the S. A. fc.mith factory Is a branch, ls carrylng oui its oilglnal plnns, as far aa posslble, t puttlng the dlfterent fnctorles rep irsented n the comblnatlon on auch lines ,,f mntiufncturliiB as ls bcst sulted to 1 1 - Ir respectlve locatlons. Heretofore the smith company have made large num txrs of chlldren's cnrrlages nnd go-carts, tlu' roi'd goods product amouutlng to iiboiit two-llfths of thelr entlro out-put. Tlu- Natlonal Novelty corporatlon flnds that the Whltney-lteed Chnlr company of I.eominster, Mnss., Is betier adaptcd to the manufactnrc of reed goods and It has decldcd therefore to transfer nll of thls klnd of work done nt tho local fac tory to the Iomlnster factory after nect July whlch wlll be the close of the car rlaKe Reason. The Whltney-Reed Chalr company at present are making large numbcrs of ilouhlc rocklng horses, ln addltlon to thelr carrlage business, but that brnnch of the buslncss wlll bo transferred to the Hrattleboro factory, whlch hns l)cen maklng the same toy for several ycars. These wlll be made moro extenslvely thnn eer before, and ln nddltlon n new llno of toys wlll be .added, embraclng tnbk-s, chalrs, bureaus, commodes, etc, dupll c.itlng the llncs made at the Mnnlstee, Mlch . branch of the corporatlon. I'ut terns of some of these toys havo becn sent to Hrattleboro from Mnnlstee. Ma chlnery Is belng ndapted, and the manu facture of the artlcles wlll be begun as xn as possible. .'he plnn Is to liave the Manlstee branch suppiy the wettern trade and the Hrattleboro Lranch the castcrn trade. These goods, wlth the exceptlon of the rocklng horses, wlll be slmllar to those made by the Stowell company ln Putney. The Natlonal Novelty corporatlon nt ono time contcmplated buylng tho Stowell plant, but declded not to do so after in spectlng the plant and taklug everything lnto conslderatlon. The corporatlon made a contract to handle the Stowrll product on commtsslon, whlch It wlll do imtll next Junuary. After that the Stowll ciilput wlll be handled by Georgo I'.oigfcldt & Co. of New York, the rommla.ton i.prnts who handled the goods (.r-ilous to tnls year Under thls nrrangonuuit It is vl dent that there wlll be sharper eompe tltlon than prevlously ln thls llne of KOOllS. Although a large proportlon of the out put of the local factory, as already stated, conslsts of go-carts and carrlges, only u few expert hands nre employed ln thelr manufacture, us a large number of the dlfferent parts are bought ready made. It Is probable, therefore, that not more than half a dozen hands wlll leave Brat tleboro by reason of the change. For the pres'iat the accommodatlons of the Smlth fnctory are adoMiiate i'o the new business, but It ls undeistooi to be the Intcntion of tho Vntlonil No olty corporatlon to erect addltlon.il bulldltigs ln Brattleboro ln Ihe ntnr futuro. About 30 manufacturlng fonerns are lepresentcd ln the Natlonal Novelty cor poratlon, wlth nsscts of $1,009,000. The Interests of these concerns were pooled wlth the ldea that a lDwer cost, of manu facture would result, thus yleldlng a larger proflt wlthout Increaslng prlces. Each of the old concerns has a dlrector ln the corporatlon, the Brattleboro dl rector belng Frank L. Uunt. The head quarters of the corporatlon ae ln New York clty. ALBANY VI. BRATTLEBORO.

What To Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatisni, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad eilects followlng use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being cotnpelled to go often during the day, and to get up tnany times during the night. The mild and the extraordlnary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
