The buildings are thoroughly equip- ped for the wood working business. in the basement are numerous saws and plunern, and the engine and butter, which is used to furnish power when the water in Chasmar's pond is below the level for use by the big water wheel, which is located in the stream in the rear of the main building. 0n the first floor of the main building are shaping machines, lather, hand saws, etc, and the upper doors are used to assemble the various goods manufactured, and also a paint shop, and for other purposes. In the annex are the shaping machines. The blacksmith shop contains a large supply of steel card to make tires, springs, etc. The business of making baby car- riages was established in 1872 by the late Francis Boylnt it, who came here from Green itlver, ernlont, and erect: ed the buildings, and fully «nipped them for this industry.
