It is a well-known fact that results cannot be obtained with air in th steam pipe. An important feature in connection with "Cole" steam traps i the system of packing as illustrated herewith. Our readers should note the offset in the bronze trunion where the packing makes a joint, as well as the ordinary friction joint. The packing is allowed to expand without causing friction. Noose Head Brand Products Lumbermen in all parts of Canada are familiar with the "Moose Head Brand" shoepacks, larrigans, moccasins and sporting boots, manufactured by John Palmer Company, Limited, of Fredericton, N. B. This company was established in 1877 and is under the able management of Mr. Chas. K. Palmer, president and general man- ager, who has been connected with the company for over 25 years. Associated with Mr. Palmer is Mr. Wm. M. Todd, secretary-treasurer, who has been with the concern ever since he was a boy. In 1912 a new and thoroughly modern factory and tannery were erected, which consists of three floors, 226 ft. by 50 ft. Every part of this building is now occupied by the 135 employees of the firm. In the tannery, over 200 sides of waterproof, oil-tanned leather are turned out daily, and are made from heavy packers' steer hides, under the company's own particular process, the product when completed being known as "Skowhegan" leather. From this leather the "Moose Head Brand" moccasins and larrigans are produced, all being hand sewn and made on new roomy lasts, so as to allow the foot to be fitted with ease. Everything in oil-tanned waterproof summer and winter footwear is manufactured by this company and its lines are to be found not only throughout North America, but in many other lands as well.
