 interests in that concern. Edward Hammett and August Wetermeyer 

 of Sheboygan, and Jacob L. Reiss, New York capitalist, have taken over 

 the company. The deal involves about $500,000. The change took place

 About 1,200 men are employed. Mr. Huette has taken charge of the Falls 

 Motors Corporation, motors and woodworking machinery, at Sheboygan

 chine Company.

 manufacturers of woodworking machinery in the Middle West, has been

 Wis., and the general store operated for nearly fifty years. The mill 

 has been closed for the season but it has not been definitely decided 

 whether it will be operated again next season. The mill and water power 

 facilities will probably be utilized by another industry. The planing 

 mill and lumber yard will continue operations through the winter as 

 usual. Most of the company's timber holdings have been sold to the 

 J. W. Wells Lumber Company of Menominee, Mich., so that the mill 

 here will probably not be opened again.
