Washington Mitten Factory to Be Established by Baughman Company
L. H. Baughmann & Company plan Washington mitten and glove production in a new factory. Lawrence Baughmann will manage the operation, with initial orders already placed totaling about 4,000 pairs.

The factory, to be named Washington Mitten Factory, will also serve as a local employer with steady work. Photographer LD S Cole remains available for duplicates or new work at the old stand through month’s end.

Last Friday L Smouse invited the promoters of the paving scheme to a public discussion. The columnist explains the city code allows paving by petition or a three fourths council vote, and outlines assessments on abutting property up to 25 percent of value, with corner lots taxed on both frontages. Installment options span seven to ten years, with funds from the City Improvement Fund and possible certificates transferring assessment rights.
