A Good Enterprise. The Times has been frequently im pressed with the fact that there is a spendid opportunity in Brunswick for a pencil factory.

A Brunswick firm, The Times learns, has at various times, sold con siderable quantities of cedar to the Faber Pencil Cos., and even a cedar shipping business ought to pay.
