LARGEST SINGLE IMH STRY. Parry Work* With One Thousand Men—Eighteen Acres of Floor Room* The Parry Manufacturing Company is the largest single manufacturing institution in the city, and a fair description of it is impossible in this space. The products of the factory are buggies, carriages, road wagons and road carts. The concerns employs one thousand men. and pays in wages $7,000 weekly. The increase of business over 1891 has been 40 per cent, with flattering indications for the coming year. The firm has finished large additions which will run their force up to 1,200 men. The working floor space is nearly eighteen acres, and the factory buildings occupy nearly the whole southeast square, bounded by South and Illinois streets with a large building just opposite, on Illinois street. The company operates a three-and-one-eighth-acre “farm” on the stock yard switch, which must not be understood to mean that it is en. , gaged in i raising vegetables for its hands, but this refers to a gigantic : shipping-room covering that amount ot' space. During the year a new building has been added, 237x90 feet in diI mensions. with three floors, besides : an office and store room with three floors. It will be remembered that the main factory, before the additions were built, was the old WoodburoSarven wheel-works, now removed to the West Side. Parry M’f’g Co., Indianapolis, Ind
