Last week Milwaukee was visited by 21 rain storm that caused considerable •delay to delivery service. Quite a few shipments made Thursday night did not reach destinations on -time. There was an exceptionally high wind, but no dam- age was done to glass, as far as I know. Despite the rainy days, business last week was good, shipping orders mak- ing up the bulk of the trade.

The man was knocked down by the machine and
