A TOUR OF THE FACTORIES ORAWFORDSVILLE.

How Many Men Are Employed, Their Wages and Other Interesting Facts Uoucerning the Factories-

Unless you stop to count them you would not think there were nearly twenty-five factories aud mills of various kinds in and around Crawfordsville employing all the way from three or four to twenty-five men. But such is the case. A reporter of The Jocknax, recently took the trouble to visit all these establishments with a view to ascertaining their extent both as to the number of hands they employ and their capacity and the results as given below will prove quite interesting.

Bond & McClure's brickyard is one of the oldest establishments of its kind in the county and is located south of the Junction on the Monon road. Just at present three or four men suffice to do the work but during the building season which lasts seven or eight months of the year about thirty men are employed. They are paid by the thousand bricks and in this way earn from .35 to $1.75 per day owing to the kind of work they do. The capacity of the yard is about 20,000 bricks a day for all of which a market is found in this county or vicinity.

J. K. Eversonis the proprietor of the saw mill east of the Junction. He built it a year ago last July and now employs sixteen men who receive from $1 to $2.50 per day. The out put is seven or eight thousand feet of lumber a day. Not a log has been shipped in, Mr. Everson preferring to buy the trees as they stand in the woods here and hire them cut down and hauled. The lumber is sent to private individuals but at considerable distance to such places as Pullman, 111., and Raoine, Wis. Oak, poplar, ash, liickory and a little black walnut are the kinds of lumber made.

The new creamery is making fine headway and is expected to be in working order by January 15. Chas. Martin, of Lima, Ohio, a professional butter maker, will be on the ground shortly. He will have five assistants and there will be twelve teamsters on the road to oollect milk. Of the three gentlemen interested in the business Mr. Mitchell will stay in the offioe, while Messrs. Water bury and Clark will be on the road soliciting milk. One oar load of machinery has arrived and two others are expected.

Although not a factory, the buildings of the Consolidated Tank Line Company near the junotion are quite interesting. John A. Carver is in charge and does all the work which consists in running the engine whioh pumps the coal oil and gasoline from the oars to the tanks, and then from the tanks to the barrels in which it is shipped to the wholesale houses of Crawfordsville and dealers of the smaller towns of the county. Lubricating oil will probably be added alter while. Of course this is a bianoh of the Standard Oil Company.

Maurice Lee's tile factory a mile or two northwest of town is one of our oldest industries. It employs nine men in the factory and three more on the farm to haul the clay. The capacity is ,000 per day of four inch tile or 1,000 of fifteen inch tile. It is all shipped to a great distance, just now the shipment are to lienuBelaer, Ind. The factory runs nearly all year, just as long as the clay can be obtained. A reoent improvement is a steam dryer, a building heated by steam in which 25,000 tile oan be dried ready for the kiln. "The old Sperry Mill" as everybody knows it, is now owned by the First National Bank and is rented by J. L, Thurston, a miller of experience, who moved here from Kansas three years ago. He employs three men, turns out 50 barrels of flour a day, whioh is the same as grinding 200 bushels of wheat. The men are paid $1,35 a day. The roller process is used and the old water power is amply sufficient to run the machinery all the year round.

Birch Brothers employ a dozen men at their machine shops who received from $1.25 to $2.50 per day. They make all sorts of engines, boilers, and ma hines but make a specialty of felloe machines and flax and hemp brakes whioh are shipped to all parts of the United States. Work is rushing at the shop asd for the last three months the men have been working at night.

The Dove Tail Body and Gear Works oooupies two large brick buildings just beyond the bridge on east College street and is in a flourishing oondition. There are eighteen men employed at wages

SfJ'.f'.'"

IHSill

ranging from $7.50 to $15 per week. Tliey have all they oan do and it has been nocis«ary to do night work occasionally. From sixty to saventy-fivo bupgy bodies are turned out each week and are shipped to Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Texas and Connecti cut.

The heading factory, one of a great many o^ned by Henry Alfrey, employs more handB than any other one ooucern iu Crawfordsville. There are seventylive men on Mr. Alfrey's pay roll, atul they get from $1 to $4 per day. The remarkable number of 1,000,000 sets of heading per year is turned out or 400 carlouds. Each set consists of two barrel heads. The men work threo nights out of the week and would work every night if they could stand it. Two new jointing machines have lately been add ed making a total of nine. Of the immense out put above mentioned only one half goes to the Standard Oil Company, the other half going to furnish heads for whiskey barrels in various parts of the country.

The Dowel Pin Factory of Alfrey & Bandel is located in the Brown & Garr planing mill. Ten men are constantly at work and the result is an out put of 30 bushels a day. The greater part of these pms are used in the heading factory. The employes receive $1.25 per dny. "The health of the oouutry take it al over is the best have ever known it and consequently our business is somewhat dull just now. Only in one part of Texas is there an

feickness

and that

is an epidemic of spotted lever." Thus sp^ke Capt. Bryant, of the Crawfordsville Coffiu company, an industry built up to its present high standing by hard work and strict business methods. Further inquiry revealed the fact that their employees numbered forty-five receiving all the way from 75 cents to $3 per day. The capaoity of the factory is 250 coffins per week but the highest number usually turned is 200. Shipments are made mostly in the South and West, to the States of Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas and even as far as Mjntana, Idaho and Oregon.

Lyle & Smith's foundry was established on the spot where 11 now stands, April 2, 1866, on Monday morning. It now employes 14 men who receive from 50 cents to $3 per day. A general business of boiler and engine making is done, the market being in this and the surrounding counties. The capaoity of the foundry is fifteen tons a ween, the average out put being from six to eight tons.

The old Streight planing .mill is being run now by Sering & Son, who employ eight hands, paying an average of $2.00 a day in wages. The out put is usually 14,000 feet of lumber a week, the rough planks being Tennessee poplar and pine.

John S. Brown's cooper shop works from five to nine hands. When the full force is at work the weekly out put is from 300 to 350 barrels which Mr. Brown ships to Armour & Co., Chicago, when the market is favorable. Tue last shipment was only a week ago and amounted to 8,000 barrels.

The City Bottling Works, owned by Snyder & Hart man, employs three men paying them $26 per week, and if the present state of trade keeps up the total amount of business for the first year will reach $30,000.

The Indiana Lumber Co. is running the saw mill near the Big Four freight depot. Mr. Frank Coss, recently of Indianapolis, a man of experience ia the business is the resident manager. Ten men are employed at wages ranging from $1.25 to§2.00. The daily output is about 8,000 feet, all of which is disposed in distant markets, principally in New York and New Jersey.

The growth of the Indiana Wire Fence company is one of the marvels of Crawfordsville. It hab already begun on a small scale the manufacture of wire nails and as faat as the machinery can be put in will go into the business on a large scale. One piece of machinery has been ordered from Germany. The out put of barbed wire is now a carload a day and the employes, numbering twenty-five, work by the piece entirely. Their average earnings per week are from $10 to $12. Shipments are made principally to Indiana,

Illinois,

Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky. George Bumble is running the Brown & Garr planing mill now. He employs an average of eight men, the number being more or less as work in full or slack. Wages are $2.00 and $2.50 per day. The latest piece of wood turned out is a set of saloon furniture in cherry for Ira Stout at New lliohmond.

The McKeen Mills, formerly known as the Brown & Watkins mill, ib now employing five men and turning out 125 barrels of the best roller process flour every day. It is shipped Indianapolis and the towns of this county.

Oliver & Wre.. are the patentees of the Malleable Iron Wagon Jacks, and have just begun to make them here, although several thousands have already been made and put on the market in California. The iron parts are made in Detroit, shipped here and the wood parts added.

John Corbin has taken oharge of the "Old Sperry Saw Mill" for the First National Bank. New machinery, the finest and latest, is to be used and the mill will be employ both water and steam motor power. Preparations have been made to carry on a very large business at this point.

Fortunate atlier and Son "lam as certain as I now live," says 0 E. Barthomew, of Kaskaska,Mich., "that Dr. DavicTKennedy' 5 Favorite .Remedy, of Koundout, N. Y., saved my life when I was a victim of that terrible venal disorder—Bright's disease. My son had a fever sore on his leg. He, too, used Favorite Remedy, and is now well. But for this medicine I am sure both father and son would have been six feet under the sod."
