The Waterloo \lunnfnctur' in; Company is one of the largest em- ployers of labor in Waterloo, and as such is a splendid bulwark of the town. Daring the year about one hundred and twentr-tiro men have been on the pay roll. all working ten hours a day, while during the summer months the works were run twelve and a half hours every day. The principal manufactures of this concern are threshere, traction and portable GD" glues, and other forming implements.
