Buck Company, manufacturing ‘‘Feather loom” petticoats, Emma McCliesney brings lasting success to the firm, wresting victory from defeat when bankruptcy seems inevitable. How she makes a man of her son, Jack, and how ber own life’s happiness is finally attained, are incidents in a story that is a delight from start to finish. You can’t afford to miss “Our Mrs'McsChesuey.”
