There have been several thriving 
little industries grow up in Glouces- 
ter within the past few years that 
have not made much noise or receiv- 
ed much encouragement but they 
are an important factor in the indus- 
trial life of the city. They have all 
been established by local capital and 
have developed from extremely 
small beginnings, but in order to 
induce a large manufacturer to lo- 
cate here it will first be necessary to 
provide adequate facilities in the 
shape of a modern factory building. 
BOLT FACTORY TO ENLARGE. 
New Building to be Erected for 
Burroughs Nut and Bolt Co. 
It is reported that the Burroughs 
Nut & Bolt Company which recently 
commenced operations in their new 
factory at West Gloucester, will en- 
large their plant this spring, to meet 
the requirements of their increasing 
business. There are at present 
about thirty employed at the fac- 
tory and the orders on hand it is 
said, will require two years steady 
work to get out. It is understood 
that the company has taken an op- 
tion on a tract of land adjoining 
that: upon which the present factory 
is located and will erect another 
building of about the same size as 
the. .present one. 
This will double the capacity of 
the plant and will give employment 
to twenty or twenty five more hands. 
Not that Gloucester does not favor 
reciprocity—on everything but fish ; 
and not that the corn belt does not 
favor reciprocity—on everything 
but grain. Gloucester and the corn 
belt favor reciprocity, as a small boy 
favors castor oil—for other people.

‘‘Annisquam Island News.’’ 
The North Shore, Gloucester and 
particularly Annisquam have receiv- 
ed and are receiving much publicity 
through the: medium of the <Annis- 
quam Island News, a four page illus- 
trated paper published by Storer F. 
Crafts of the Commonwealth Hotel, 
Boston, who is so much interested 
in the future development of Annis- 
quam Island, Annisquam river, 
which he has purchased. 
Mr. Craft’s future plans 
island embrace the laying out of 
streets, avenues and parks. The 
highest point he has preserved for 
a great summer hotel. He has orig- 
inal plans-also for the hotel. The 
absenee of plazzas is a proposed 
feature. In their place, an enormous 
piazza promenade, partly covered 
and partly open will extend to the 
bay. It will be erected high above 
the water and as wide and long as 
the entire deck of an ocean steamer. 
The house is to be in the form of 
a star so as to remove the dining 
and living portions and to get the 
cooking and kitchen portions away 
from all the others. 
Mr. Crafts is interesting the Es- 
sex County Cemmissioners and the 
city government of Gloucester in 
the reconstruction of the old Colon- 
ial road to the island, which will 
mean so much for the development 
of this picturesque section of the 
North Shore. 
Mr. Crafts is no stranger in hotel 
circles on the North Shore. He was 
proprietor of Hotel Crafts; Beverly, 
first landlord of Hotel Russell, Sa- 
lem and of a large hotel in Lynn. 
Ife enjoys a unique reputation in 
Boston, where as proprietor of 
Hotel Commonwealth, opposite the 
State House, he runs a strictly tem- 
perance hotel. It is the official ho- 
tel of all temperance and missionary 
societies. His numerous friends and 
patrons hope for the cooperation he 
is so desirous of receiving for the 
development of the island and inci- 
dentally the further development of 
the North Shore.
