A busy place is the Correll
Overall Factory, in the old Pres
byterian church building in the
rear of the city hall, where
20 whirring sewing machines
are turning out great stacks of
overalls. About twenty-five girls
and women are employed there,
and all of them are highly pleased
with the work.
The capacity of these machines
is forty dozen overalls per day,
or in other words, a week's work
will turn out about 2,600 overalls,
entirely finished. These goods
are inspected and handled very
carefully before being put on the
market, several grades being
made.
Mr. P." A. Correll is the pro
prietor, and his superintendent is
Mr. J. B. Bustin. They are very
much encouraged in their enter
prise, and the product of the
factory is already in the hands of
the retail dealers.
At present there is only about
two-thirds of the machinery run
ning .full time, owing to the
fact that it takes some time , to
get the operatives familiar with
the work. The machinery is run
by motor power furnished by the
city.

Majestic Spring.
Absolutely Safe
Sold on Sixty Nights Trial
Sound, easy sleep is essential to good health
and good temper,
Few persons are so fortunate as to be able to
derive any benefit from nights passed on un
comfortable beds.
No bed touches the highest point of Com
fort unless furnished with a good spring.
Of all the springs the "MAJESTIC" most
fairly meets all requirements.
It is a "double deck" spring, with ten-inch
coils fastened in the center so they cannot lean
over or get twisted up.
The springs are put together with a double
crimp cross wire construction, leaving a per
fectly smooth surface, with no hooks or ends of
wire projecting to tear the mattress.
They give an absolutely uniform support,firm
but yielding to all the movements of the body.
Don't sink down in the middle or sag at the
edges.'
The "MAJESTIC" is the latest and best of
bed springs.
