A Mechanical Genius. If there i's one resident of Grand | Rapids who might be distinguished in the mechanical line as the premier of all his co-operators, that mai is probably M. A. Boorman. Whether it be in setting up and operating in- | tricate machinery, welding iron to| suit his purposes, in handling steam or electric power, im any class of woodwork, or manipulating the types in a printery with the eye and hand of an artist, he is equally at home and is master of every undertaking. Mr. Boorman has recently completed the interior woodwork, shelving, etc. on the Lieberman and Hughes & Co stores. The result of hiss handicraft is a subject of general comment. To say that Boorman is a mechanical genius is not an over estimate of | his really remarkable skill. Successful Institute at Feeley. While in conversation with a Heralld-Review representative, C. E.
