In this connection the Fulton Machine and Vice company of Low- ville has proven that mechanical knowledge, combined with good, busi- ness methods, is bound to succeed. To write the story of this industry is to write the story of honest merit winning under difficulties, not of its own making, and carving\ out success because it deserved it, and manufact- ured devices that are necessities in the mechanical world.

Industrial enterprises, like the Fulton Machine and Vise company, always bring handsome returns when properly managod and local pride together with the surety of the in- vestment shou'd enable the company to place every dollar of the stock in Lowville rather than allow it to be seeured by discerning outside capital that is always ready to invest in in- dustrial stock like that offered by the company. firsTlUe fip»« iranaerrcc fcs. %^3ffcS consideration J^-aer^ -o*. 3cE=t *& •\* ^fVJ:, Watson to Che^fer.'A^BScJ: at Lucs-^^'^J £*- -daie Pa ^tfeanr^t^saidy Jt^c\ - i /^~ *• celved |3f £oiC^#aTr6er5©f I^XUa^j J* _ \ Hamsbtsrgi. < Eae>3fev* 5 'fcnei: MtW-*.-^ \^ C (Jordan. t ~* / ~* * t~Z \** ** ~^ Ambrose- Sb^w ha^ sAf ta&^6s^ * of CroghdH; a =top of T^nd t-raSfc wide for wbuch he was p-j.d tt.e SQr* of f40Q ^ae town purpose ^c f ^t. » hlgfa-«ar to- connect the ^§„a& £&* 2 Set+iement road«? \ '\ \JL COVTBACT FOfi * 500 MILES OF ROADS I'KjssioiT to Annonat^Snecessfti!

The terms under which the money is to eb granted have, however, been materially changed. The committee declined to endorse the project for a life saving station, wireless tower, aquarium and museum in connection with the \memorial which would re- quire annual appropriations for maintenance. The bill as changed authorizes a straight appropriation for a memorial and for participa- tion in a celebration.

There are 3S3 miles of road work under way, although it is estimated that about 70 per cent of this work has been completed. The total cost of improving roads for the past two years, including the contracts awarded during the Skene administration, is about $7,462,000. Bids for the proposed new roads will be received January 9, 11 and 13.

Cohoes has been designated by the postmaster general as the place in New York state where the plan for a postal savings bank shall be given a trial. If it is a success there, the service will be extended to other cities. The Cohoes postoffice will go into the banking business January 3. Experimental stations are to be established in 48 cities and towns throughout the United States for the purpose of giving the scheme a trial. Postmasters in charge of offices where the stations will be located have been called to Washington for full instruction as to the new work. Under the government's plan sav- ings will be accepted in all amounts from ten cents up. It is believed that Cohoes was ac- cepted as the experimental station in this state because of the large for- eign population there. It is the plan of the government to induce foreign- ers to deposit their savings with the government, upon which the govern- ment wiil pay interest, rattier than -send their earnings to their home countries where postal savings pantos have already been estabfisied.
