This old pound is still in very good condition, and is situated on tho road running from the Lois Itand farm to tho Ten Rod road. From the time of its incorporation as a town Farmington progressed rapidly and the growth was a sure, healthy increase in population and wealth. In 1H20 tho village num­ bered fifteen frame dweHmgs, five stores, one mill, a tavern, and Mr. Elijah Badger was manufacturing shoes. Badger watt the pioneer shoe manufacturer in this village that was destined to become the smartest shoe town in New Hamp­ shire W o had attained some littlo eminence as a manufactur­ ing centre before tho war. That was in the days of biognns, btifore machinery had boconie perfected and when every farmer who would might toko "stock" home and make it up. W e ' a r e all prone to look back over the past and to speak of the g o o d old^dajB in a tone of regret, and who shall say that those carefree days before the war, when manufacturers did n o t worry over "orders," "specials" o r any of the nerve-rack­ ing rush orders of today, we not the ideal days of our lives? Then ovcry farm within a radius of a dozen miles was occupied o&d the owners were busy making shoes.
