Friday January 19,1906 Mr. H.C. WOOLMER, coach builder of Natimuk, has just completed to the order of Mr Alf WILLS, of Tooan, a very handsome pony express. The buggy, while being strong and roomy, is very light in draught. The undercarriage is particularly well ironed and herein lies the strength. Well seasoned hickory and kauri have been used, while the trimmings are of American duck. The wheels are of the Savern patern, with half patent axles. Altogether, Mr. WILLS will take delivery of a buggy not only highly suitable for his requirements, but one in the construction of which much care and good workmanship have been used, employed. In looking through Mr WOOLMER'S workshop we noticed a clever and simple device for blowing the bellows, it is a large wheel with a belt around it and connected with the fan. The wheel is driven by the lever in the old style. A child almost can work the lever, while the blast is exceptionally strong. Mr WOOLMER has introduced other labour saving appliances, so that his shop is getting very up to date.
