DEMAND HEAVY FOR PRODUCT MADEJN CITY Vonnegut Hardware Firm Sells Fire Exit Devices All Over World. An important part of the business of Vonnegut Hardware Company, which has its retail store at 120 E. Washington St., is manufacture of self-releasing fire exit devices used in nearly every country of the world. The manufacturing business was started by the company in 1908, when most of its devices were made for it by hardware manufacturers in other cities. Principal product manufactured by the company is the Von Duprin self-releasing fire exit device, which grew to such volume the company was forced to establish its own manufacturing plant here to cope with increase in orders. At present there are several hundred cities in the United States where all schools have the company’s panic-proof devices installed. In some cities the volume of work is so great it requires as much as three to four years to complete. The last large city completed was Philadelphia, and now old schools in New York City and the Bronx are being re-equipped. This will require five years to complete. It is not unusual, where old schools are being remodeled, to see some of the company’s devices which have been in service twenty years, being polished and replaced on the doors. Foreign shipments, while no great effort along this line is being made, also has increased rapidly. In addition to its offices in the United States, the company has offices in Belleville, Ont.; Osaka. Japan; Honolulu, Hawaii; Mayaquoz, Porto Rico, and Santiago de Chile. The company is installing devices for the Red Cross in South America, and has just completed work for the Rockefeller Foundation in Pekin, China; theater work in Tokio. Japan; Canadian Red Cross hospitals in London; municipal auditoriums in Sydney, Australia and school, theaters and hotels lr. Honolulu. EMRICH FACTORY SITE PROVES HUGE SUCCESS Floor Space Doubled to Handle Demand for Furniture. Opening of the new factory store by the Emrich Furniture Company, 324 W. Morris St., has proven an unqualified success, according to John T. Emrich. president. The store carries a wide assortment and carefully selected stock of living room, dining room and bed room suites, occasional chairs, tables, mirrors, lamps and other articles.
