COLONEL HEALEY RECEIVES DISCHARGE FROM SERVICE.

Colonel George H. Healey arrived home Tuesday evening from Camp Sherman, 0., where he received his Colonel Healey was in the service slightly over two years and during that time made a record of which he and his njiany friends may well feel proud. His only regret is that he was denied the opportunity of getting some action against the enemy on the battlefields, but then he did not miss it so awfully far —only three days. I Mr; Healey has not definitely de- ; cided as to his future business plans, i but. his friends have. The state’s going to need a new governor ’long about the first of 1921, and it would not be at all surprising if he is the ( man found wearing the robe as the chief executive of the state after . that date, that is if he can be pre- . vailed upon to make the race. His I friends assert that they will not ; take “no” as an answer, so that’s ■; the way the matter stands at present

HOME FACTORY IS PROSPERING

RENSSELAER MANUFACTURING ’ COMPANY’S GOODS IN GREAT DEMAND.

At the annual meeting of the directors of the Rensselaer Manufacturing company, Tuesday evening, the' following officers were elected for the ensuing year: John A. Dunlap, president; E. Besser, first vicepresident; Cleve W. Eger, second vice-president and Schuyler C. Irwin secretary-treasurer. About three months ago the company completed the organization of an efficient sales force and made radical changes in the designs, of the furniture they are making; since that time the business has been increasing .very rapidly and orders are now being received at an average rate of over SI,OOO per day. The large volume of “repeat orders” indicates that the goods meet the requirements of the trade and the .permanency and prosperity of the [industry now appears to be assured. The products consists of high grade, overstuffed, upholstered rockers, chairs and davenports, covered in tapestry, leather and imitation leather and a high standard of material and workmanship has been established which produces a line equal to the best creations of the largest factories. At presept the output is about three carloads per week, but the force is being increased as rapidly as possible and it is planned to have forty men at work within the next thirty days and to increase the production toisix cars per week. The company owns the former “match factory” building which has ample floor space to permit the expansion of the business to five times its present dimensions. Practically all the capital was subscribed by local investors and the active control and management is entirely in the hands of local parties. R. M. Johnson, of Chicago, is manager of the sales force and also active manager of the factory and it is largely due to his untiring efforts that the business has been put upon its present substantial and profitable basis.

LOOK HERE, GIRLS, WHAT’S BOOKED FOR TONIGHT!

Clarence and Robert —their last name’s Yeager—are going to lend a Jot of coloring and spice-io the reg- ... ular weekly concert this evening, and ’tis rumored up and down the street and in the suburbs that all the eligible young ladies for miles around are going to be present with their most winning smiles in an effort to get ■Clarence and Robert to look their way—it matters not which one does the looking, for they look as much alike as it is possible for two human beings to do; one’s just as handsome as the other; they dress the same; act the same; both ere single; think the same; have the same tastes, and one is just as susceptible as the other. Their home town is Wauseon, 0., and it is said that the life-long residents of that blot on the map are still unable to tell them apart. The proverbial Siamese twins have nothing on this pair, and besides the Siamese pair are so mythical and antique. So here’s your ehance, girls. The Messrs. Yeager know what it is to be a part of the Ellis Brooks bands and other famous bands of the country and are two very talented musicians. Of course, they use the same kind of an instrument —naturally any good pair of twins would do that—and when they play all the music comes out. At the concert this evening they will render some coronet duets and all should hear them. During the war the young men were on the Von Steuben, the boat on which Don Wright and Don Beam, of this city, made so many •trips to the war zone, and it was their desire to see the local boys that 'brought them to Rensselaer.- -
