GROWTH OF WAYNE WORKS REMARKABLE

Each Year Sees New Improvements to Substantial Concern. ADD NEW BUILDINGS Employ Three Hundred Men Stock Increases to $150,000. The Wayne Works, one of Richmond's oldest and most substantial factories, was organized in 1888, in the two buildings bought from the old Wayne Agricultural company, which had failed in business. The first officers of the newly organized company were William G. Scott, president; Howard Campbell, vice president; W. W. Schultz, secretary; and K. B. Clements, treasurer. The only product of the plant originally was a wheat drill. Its growth has been steady and conservative, but nevertheless remarkable. Five new buildings have been added to the plant, ten times the original space is occupied by these buildings and lumber yards, the capital stock has increased from $75,000 to $150,000, and they now manufacture besides the corn planters, spring wagons and automobiles. Three hundred men are employed in the present plant. The officers are K. B. Clements, president and treasurer; Howard Campbell, vice president; and Harry Land, secretary. All Kinds of Implements. The list of farm implements which are turned out by this plant is of very great diversity and includes almost every ordinary machine which the farmer can find use for. The list includes single disc drills, double disc drills, hoe drills, disc press drills, fivedisc drills, five-hoe drills, agitator sow ers, wide track sowers, narrow track j sowers, seeders, corn planters, cotton planters, corn drills, cotton drills, feed cutters and hay rakes. The list of wagons and conveyances is fully as large, being composed of road carts, light driving wagons, buck wagons, three Bpring wagons, combination spring wagons, full platform spring wagons, three-seated livery hacks, depot hacks, school hacks, milk wagons, runabout wagons, delivery wagons, express wagons, market gardeners wagons, and full platform drays. Makes Motor Car. This list of articles would alone suffice to make a successful factory, but In addition to this the Richmond motor : cars are manufactured by this firm. This car is a credit to the firm and has some distinctive features. They are equipped with electric starters. A mechanical air pump which can be connected to the engine, will supply necessary air to pump up tires. The New Departure ball bearings, which, are used in the coustruction of the car is one of the features which makes the car extremely efficient. The engine of the car is of four-cylinder, made of the best gray iron containing 25 per cent steel. The clutch used on the car is of the Wayne Works' design, of the Inverted cone type, the simplest and strongest type. It renders engagement easy so that it takes hold smoothly, powerfully, and without jerking. The shaft iriving system is also of "Richmond" design, and is extremely strong and simple. The "Richmond" automobiles are made in two models, one thirty and the other forty-horse power. The equipment is complete and the entire :ar presents a very creditable appearance. WNGE COMPANY DEALERS IN GRAIN The John H. Runge company, dealtrs in grain, feed and all kinds of gar3en and field seeds, started in business in 1877 on North Seventh street. Twenty years ago the company moved to its present location, 16 South Seventh street. The company makes a special brand of pancake flour and is the agent for Sold Coin and Polar Bear flour. The company enjoys a good trace, built jp on sound business policy, which Itiarantees the quality of all its proSucts. Her Mind. Hilton My wife is a matter of fact woman.

WATER IS SOFTENED BY FETTA PRODUCT Machine Said to be Capable of Removing Ingredients From Water. The Fetta Water Sofftener company waB incorporated about six years ago and capitalized for $25,000. At that time all over the world more sanitary and healthful water conditions were being advocated and laws were passed requiring cities to purify the water supply. As a result of this reform inventors evolved a way of softening and purifying water. Water as it comes from streams, wells and all other sources penetrates through formations and in its natural course takes up in one form or another the various forms of hardening substance some of which are injurious to health. This water is what is termed and understood to be hard water. Hardness in water is caused by the presence of soluable and insoluable solids of lime, magnesia, iron, and forms of aluminum. Divided into two classes, one is soluable in water itself and the other is only soluable where carbon dioxide gas is present. Most towns and cities are amply supplied by the'local water works company with various forma and combinations of water which is either pumped from river, lake or wells, and in nearly all cases it is found to contain an excessive amount of hardness for practical use in the home. The Fetta Water Softener is said to be capable of overcoming all objectionable features of supplying softened water. Many Used Here. Nearly every factory in Richmond has a Fetta Water Softener. Richmond has more water softeners installed in its homes and factories than any other city in the United States, it is said. In addition to water softener machines the Fetta company manufactures all kinds of heater-tanks and watering fountains. The feature of these tanks is that they are all made of ten-guage steel, all joints are welded and in any size to suit requirements. Y elded tanks are made of high grade steel, refined iron or galvanized plate. Round and square end tanks, wagon, storage, gasoline, house storage and round and square end tanks, square end pans, hog feed and chicken feed troughs and farm tanks for every purpose. The real value of heater tanks and fountains lie.B in their practicability the year round doubling the results in fattening hogs and preserving cattle during the winter season. A Pessimist.

Martin & Runge' s, Music Center

To supply music of all kinds from the latest popular hits to the masterpieces, musical instruments and victrolas to the music lovers of the city is the purpose of the business conducted by W. B. Martin and WTalter Runge at 23 North Ninth street. Two years ago Mr. Martin purchased the talking machine business of Charles Schutz, and installed a line of Victor machines and records. Mr. Martin handles no other kind of instruments. This business has grown year by year with the improvements to the machines. When Mr. Martin first took up the business the talking machines were so common that people had almost stopped buying them. Then the Victor people made improvements in theii records, in the tone, and appearance of the machines. Victrolas Popular. Mr. Martin says the Victrolas are being placed in homes of the most prominent persons of the city. Lighting System at Centerville CENTER VILLE, Ind., Sept. 27. Formerly the county seat, Centerville enjoyed a rapid growth until the court house was moved to Richmond. The citizens were discouraged by this action and for a time the population decreased rapidly. With the coming of a new generation in 1896, renewed energy marked the conduct of affairs. Many homes were built, the streets improved and the number of business houses increased. The excellent car service enables many of the younger persons to work in Richmond. The business of the town is conducted by a town board, which has been making many improvements during the last few years. One of the larg II 0
