Half boots of work- ed leather and thickly soled. as it cho- sen in the anticipation of a long jour- ney. covered her small feet. Such was the impression which she produced at first sight. Michael Stro- gofl'. being himself of an energetic tem- perament, was naturally struck by the character of her physiognomy, and, while taking care not to cause her an- noyance by a too persistent gaze. he observed his neighbor with no small in- terest. The costume of the young trav- eler was both extremely simple and appropriate. She was not richâ€"that could easily be seenâ€"but not the slight- est mark ot negligence was to be dis- cerned in her dress; All her luggage was contained in a leather bag under lock and key, and which, for want of room, she held on her lap. The young traveler was tall and up- right. as well as could be judged of her figure from the very simple and ample pelisse that covered her. Although she was still a very young girl in the literal sense of the term. the development of her high forehead and clearly cut fea- tures gave the idea that she was the possessor of a great moral energy, a point which did not escape Michael Strogofl’. Evidently this young girl had already suffered in the past, and the future doubtless did not present itself to her in glowing colors. But it was none the less certain that she had known how tostruggle and that she had resolved to struggle still with the trials of life. Her energy was evident- ly prompt and persistent and her culm- ness unalterable even under circum- stances in which a man would be likely to give way or lcse his self command. The young girl appeared to be about sixteen or seventeen years of age. Her head, truly charming. was or the purest Slavonic type â€" slightly severe. and which would when a few summers had bassed over her unfold into beauty uuuct' man mere prettiness. From be.

TIME OF WflMAN’S LIFE THE LINDSA: POST. READ THE POST TO FULL CAPACITY In a few days the firm expects to be running to its full capacity in or- der to be able to handle the orders which are already on hand, as well as the increased business of fall and winter, which are the ‘busy seasons in ‘ the automobile industry. According‘ as the business expands the , staff. will be increased. ’ GOOD WAGES PAID. None but experienced mechanics are employed, and the highest wages are- paid. In fact the firm has the repu-i tation of paying as high wages as any similar industry in Canada. Be-i sides. , this industry is the only onei building such a line of bodies north the best material is used in their construction. The firm is building bodies for lead- ing automobile concerns in Canada, and a number of them were noticed in course of construction. Nothing but The machinery used in the manufacâ€" ture of the bodies are: saws, planet's, fitting machines, metal working ma- chines, automatic power hammers, beading machinery and moulding ma- chines. These will be used in the man- ufacture of fine automobile bodies, in wood, steel or aluminum. Special bodies are manufactured for special designs in touring bodies, torpedoes, torpedo roads-ters, limousines etc. MEN OF EXPERIENCE The reporter was welcomed by the members of the firmâ€"Messrs. W. J. and J. A. Fitzsimmons. Both are young men and appeared to be very optimistic regarding the future of their industry. They are both men of experience as builders, bot-h in Cana- da and the United States. Mr. J. A. Fitzsimmons is a graduate of the New York ‘School of the Mechanics’ Institute 'for carriage and automobile draughting and designing. Since they have launched in business they have never had an automobile body return- ed to them. WHAT THEY MANUFACTURE The nature and capacity of the in- dustry must not be gauged by the size of the temporary plant installed in the school. Messrs Fi'tzsimmons have onlya portion of their machin‘ cry in position. New machinery has been ordered and is being manufactur- ed in Galc. but this will be _installed when new quarters are secured. stat! were at work until they heard the song of the saw- and the planer. On Thursday attemoon a Post re- porter paid a. visit to the Central School and was agreeably surprised at the wonderful transformation that had taken place. In the dfifierent rooms where for years, hard working pedagogues had labored to teach the young minds how to shoot, were in- stalled wood and metal working ma- chinery' of difierent designs, turning out material for the automobile he- dies. A dozen men were busily engag- ed in turning out the bodies, and the old school was certainly a busy spot. IN TEMPORARY QUARTERS The new firm has installed its plant in temporary quarters in the old Oenr tral school until such time as a more suitable location is securedâ€"where they will have ample room to meet the expansion in business which is bound to come their way. ’ FIRM AT WORK The arriVal of the firm in Lindsay has not been heralded by a blare of trumpets. The plant has been quietly installed and very few of our citizens were aware thata portion of the AUTOMOBILE AGE This is the automobile age, in fact the automobile industry might be said to be in its infancy. True, wonderful progress has been made in the manu- 1 facture of automobiles during the past ‘few years, but this is nota circum- stance to the strides that will be made in the future. The demand for automobiles is increasing with leaps and bounds. The machine is not a fad, but a necessity, and has come to stay. As the demand increases, the necessity for a car, combining safety and speed and efficiency, and one that will meet the demands of the moder- ate purse, will be forced more and more on the manufacturers, and we may expect to see machines on the market in a few years that will be within the reach of all. INDUSTRY WILL GROW Lindsay, therefore, has in the Fitz- simmons industry an institution with great possibilitiesâ€"one that is un- doubtedly destined to expand and beâ€" comes. most important industrial hive. Lindsay undoubtedly possesses in the Fitzsimmons automobile indus- try, which recently moved from Can- ning‘ton, a concern which will un- doubtedly figure prominently in its industrial growth, which now gives promise of enjOying an era of expan- sion, thanks to the public spirited and loyal efiorts of our Industrial Commission F itzsimmons Automobile Body‘ Plant An Industry With Splendid Future I A number of those camping along , the banks of the ScugOg come up to Lindsay every day, either by canoe or I launch,to replenish their store of pro- ! visions. Others procure a rig from a ineighboring farmer and drive. wel- g coming an occasional change from 10- comotion by water. All have a heal- thy coat of tan.

Very little has been recorded of their public-spirited endeavors, which are now beginning to show fruit. The Commission has other industries in view, and the prospects for landing them are of a roseate hue. It is the bounden duty of our citizens to strengthen the hands of the Commission in every possible way in order that Lindsay may share in the industrial revival. which is becoming general throughout the country. W [a Fencing In referring to an article which ap- peared in the Peterboro Examiner a few days ago. a member of the firm smiled, and said he did not know tim paper. but felt that the article did not reflect the spirit or ’eipress the views 01 the citizens whom he had met in that city.

Second- ly, because of the scarcity of exper- ienced labor, and the difficulty of in- ducing mechanics to locate in a small centre. The advantages offered by Lindsay appealed to them strongly, and they decided to locate here. HAVE FAITH IN THE TOWN Messrs Fitzsimmons have great faith in the town's future, and have been deeply impressed with the kind- ness meted out to them by the citi- zeoc. Their relations with the indus- trial Commission were of a most cordial and business like nature, and they have nothing but words of priase for the manner in which their business relations were conducted. of Toronto. LIND‘SAY’S ADVANTAGES A member of the firm informed the Post representative that their reas- ons for locating in Mndsay were, first, because they had decided to enâ€" large their business and build a larg- er plant and they, therefore, wished to be ina centre, where advantages in the line of good shipping facilities Hb. 15c 1 lb. 25c Pure Paris Green Builders’ Hardware J.
