HARRY NORTEMAN

North Attleboro, Massachusetts


Harry Norteman, head colorer for J. J. Sommer & Co., was seriously injured Thursday. He was doing some satin finishing when a wire from the brush flew and struck him squarely in the ball of his left eye. The services of an eye specialist in Boston were called in, but there is still some fear that he may lose the sight of the eye.
