Christmas ha* everything—hasn't it?
Christmas holds tightly many happy memories, is
loaded with joy and good cheer right now, and pierces
uncertainties of the future with the bright twinkle of
hope.
Christmas lifts yon out of your ordinary self and
pushes you up into being a person far nicer than you
u
have thought you were.
*L
Christmas opens up friendships more numerous,
more delightful and more heart-warming than you knew
you had.
Christmas appeals to allfiveof your senses. Is there
any sight lovelier than gaily wrapped gifts, multicolored
candles, shiny holly and decorations on a Christmas
tree? Isn't mere contentment in the fragrant smell of fir
balsam in the living room and of spicy odors in die
kitchen? Wouldn't the days seem empty without hear
ing again the universally-loved carols and the laughter
of happy children? Isn't self-control overstrained by the
taste of festive, tempting foods? And don't we respond
to the invigorating touch of the sweet air outdoors and
die welcome warmth of home and family within ?

Local indications point to a volumi

chants. It is quite evident from the
early trend of shopping that the general
rejoicing o v e r ' t b e restoration'of world
peace will find expression, to a marked
degree, in the time honored oustom of
giving. A general relaxation from tbe
depression o'f war time sacrifices and the
outlook for national prosperity during
tbe coming period of reconstruction is
having an enervating influence on every
body's spirits, and with t h e s e ' b r i g h t
and happy prospeots there is little doubt
that Christmas morning will find full
stockings in almost' every borne in the
community. T b e mercantile district of
our village certainly is a little wonder
land, of brilliancy and sparkle. T h e
abop windows are especially beautiful in
their gala and festive dress and bespeak
an enterprise that inspires enthusiasm.
Aside from the
myriad attractions
of color and light that please the eye,
honest values are apparent from even a
casual observation. Early shopping is
always a mutual benefit to merchant and
customer and often obviates many of
tbe unpleasant features that attend the
rush of tbe last minute. Let's all enjoy
Christmas together, bounded only by
the reserves of prudency and decency
for It is tbe happiest Yuletide in the
history of the world.

J F Cloutman Shoe Co Work Resumed In New Factory Farmington News, Page2, 1918-12-13
Description
An account of the resource
A Farmington News article covering work being resumed at the J F Cloutman Shoe Co factory. Farmington News, Page2, 1918-12-13 <br /><br />The article reads:<br /><br /><em>The signal for the big business and <br />enterprise that is to contribute largely<br />to Farmington's future industrial career<br />was raised on Wednesday morning when<br />operations were commenced in the cutting<br />department at the new factory of<br />the J. F. Cloutman Shoe Company. The<br />new structure, which was completed on<br />December 2, has been an undertaking of<br />almost magic growth, that sprang from<br />tbe ashes of tbe burned factory that was<br />consumed ou tbe site in tbe big conflagration<br />of February 14, 1918. No sooner<br />was it obvious that tbe old building was<br />doomed tban it was announced that it<br />would be replaced with an _up-to date<br />plant. The fulfilment of tbe prophecy<br />was commenced early in May, as soon as<br />the ruins could be cleared away, and a<br />cement fouudation was laid for the<br />structure 200 feet long and 42 feet wide,<br />that would occupy the Main street front<br />on the area between Garfleld and Elm<br />streets. As soon as the foundation was<br />iu the building contract was placed in<br />the hands of Contractor Frank R. Copp,<br />and as is characteristic of Mr. Copp's<br />energy, no time was lost in erecting tbe<br />towering four-story frame that outlined<br />the proportious of tbe big shop. In the<br /><br />course of tbe next few weeks building<br />materials simply flew ioto place while<br />the frame was being enclosed, aod a new<br />contract was placed for laying the<br />matched hard wood floors. As soon as<br />his work was completed, the contract<br />for installing the steam fitting, piping<br />and automatic sprinkler system was put<br />into execution and it is expected that it<br />will be completed the coming week.<br />Plumbing was done by tbe local Read-<br />Esty concern and the wiring and electric<br />fixtures were Installed by the Cloutman<br />Electric Co. All the contract work has<br />been done in a thorough, efficient and<br />expeditious manner that reflects credit<br />on contractors and workmen alike.<br />While there are several small details yet<br />to be attended to on the lower floors, all<br />will be completed by tbe new year and<br />all departments should be running at<br />that time.<br />The plant covers 9,000 square feet of<br />ground, approximately. is four stories<br />high and contains nearly 40,000 square<br />feet of working floor space which is furnished<br />with natural light from 400 large<br />indows. The top story will be occupied<br />by the cutting and a part of the<br />stitching departments; the third floor by<br />the stitching and lasting departments<br /><br />the second by the making, finding and<br />treeing, and the ground floor by the sole<br />leather, packing and shipping, while tbe<br />150 feet concrete basement will be util<br />izid for stock storage purposes. When<br />in full operation, the plant will employ<br />about 300 hands and will be equipped<br />primarily to produce 200 dozen pairs of<br />shoes per day. Tbe big structure has an<br />imposing appearance and bears on the<br />front in large black letters the name,<br />"J. F. Cloutman Shoe Company." Although<br />the enterprise passed out of the<br />Cloutman bands some two years ago<br />and the plant now is owned by Joseph<br />E. Daly and K.J. Brown, both prominent<br />manufacturers and leather merchants of<br />Massachusetts, the Cloutman name is<br />still retained to identify the business as<br />the same that built up such a wonderful<br />reputation in the New England boot and<br />shoe trade durings a long and successful<br />history of manufacturing in Farmington.<br />The building was produced at an estimated<br />cost of $50,000 and does great<br />credit to the owners and organization<br />that have made it possible for the town<br />to be represented by such a concern. In<br />connection with the factory and directly<br />in the rear is located the steam beating<br /><br />and power plant with adequate facilities<br />for furnishing these requisite needs.<br />Tbe office is an attractive one story<br />adjunct connected with the street floor<br />of the main building and consists of<br />three departments, tbe clerical room,<br />superintendent's office, aud tbe private<br />suite, all of-which are equipped with the<br />most modern appliances. Including steel<br />vault and safes. No unsanitary or unsightly<br />conditions will be allowed about<br />the premises, as a complete lavatory system<br />furnishes all sanitary conveniences<br />in each department.<br />During the time that the new building<br />has been in progress of construction the<br />firm has been producing from 100 to 125<br />dozen pairs of shoes per day in temporary<br />quarters It has occupied in the Roberta<br />and Curtis factories on North Main<br />street.<br />The cutting department alone is in<br />operation at the present lime, but the<br />stitching machinery has been moved to<br />tbe new quarters and the other departments<br />are moving as fast as possible,and<br />it is expected that tbe New Year will see<br />tbe wheels well greased and turning<br />throughout tbe big factory that is one of<br />tbe objects of Farmington's civic pride.</em><br /><br /><br />This is a digital file and does not exist in the physical museum collection.<br /><br /><br />FHS- Kyle Leach

Hayride has full house
for Danny McDonald
The Granite State Hayride
performed to a nearly full house
Sunday
evening
at
the
Farmington Town Hall during a
4 hour benefit show to aid the
family of Danny McDonald, who
was 12 years old that night and
recuperating
from
a
recent
$50,000 kidney transplant Over
$1,000 was added to his fund
Each of a dozen country
singing
acts
donated
their
services and the entire proceeds
were turned over to Danny's
cause
Gubernatorial
hopeful
Meldrtm T h o m s o n of Orford was
a surprise guest at Danny's
party When invited by producer
Don West to address the crowds
of
over
500
the
Orford
candidate explained his deep
pride in a people who would put
themselves out so unselfishly to
help another " I t ' s really a great,
wonderful, thing you people
have done for Danny" Thomson
said, things like this reafirm a
man's faith in people
About 2,000 years ago the
man, our Savior gave his life
that we might learn to love and
to give
Tonight we can share our spirit
of Christmas by giving for
Danny more than we have yet
done
By our giving we can say to all
the world that America is not
sick - America is alive, healthy,
and determined to give so that
all of the Dannies in America
can have a better life
Let us by our good deeds, in
this great effort show thai we
want America to be a better land
for all children than wc found
when we came here "
Thanking the crowd for their
generosity, Thomson left the
stage
amidst
thunderous
applause and pocketbooks were
opened in addition to the
admission charge pegged for
