A Wonderful Machine St. Johns has something that no other city In .tho world can boast of, nnd that Is a combination machine Invented nnd placed In position in tho Holbrook building on Jersey and Itlchmond Btroctsby Ewnrd Itawson. Mr. Itnwson recently enmo from Low- Iston, Idaho, whero he Invented and constructed tho first machine. It Is now on display and any ono Inter ested Is nt liberty to call In nnd ex amino tho Invention. It Is a wholo mnchlno shop within Itself, nnd if thero Is anything tho mnchlno will not do oxcept talk tho fact has not yet bcon revealed. Thoro nro Blxty different things Mr. Hawson can do with tho mnchlno In sixty minutes, nnd do them with enso. Whllo com pact and nent In appearance thoro Is plenty of room for four men to work nt tho mnchlno at ono tlmo without Interfering with oncli other. A pinner, lathe, cut off, borer, nnd In fact nny mnchlno thnt Is usunlly utilized In a first class machlno shop, and then some, nro combined In this wonderful pleco of tnnchlnery. Mr. Hawson Is hero to domonstrato whnt tho mnchlno will do nnd also to Interest capital In manufacturing them. Tho Invention is so feasible, so mnrvototis and such n labor saver that It will not bo many yonrs until overy mnchlno Bhop In tho country will havo ono of thorn. What usually takes from half an hour to nn hour to change ordinary machinery on this mnchlno only n mlnuto Is required to mnko the same change. Tho In vontor has on exhibition some hand- somo designs of decorative work that ho turned out from nn old pear trco. As Instances of what tho mn chlno will do they nro certainly gems In ovory way. It Is to bo hoped that capital will become Interested nnd the plant bo located In St. Johns.
