Barcus Business Booming.

Wolcott Enterprise: According to Wabash papers the company of which|George Barcos, formerly of this county is a mem her is rising in the scale of importance as one of leading manufacturing concerns in that thriving city. The company moved to Wabash only a few years ago to begin manufacturing on a rather modest scale but fortune,has favored them in every move they have made to extend their business interests. P■ V • Some time ago they found their old quarters growing rather small lor the increasing demand of their work and the old plant owned by the School Furniture Company gene defunct, was purchased and their plant moved to it. In the purchase the Bareus company became owners of the most of the machinery used by tbe Furniture Company, and now have decided to add to their department a wood working department from which they will turnout a first-class grade of furniture and have employed a large number of men capable -of turning out such, material. They have also sought and found a market for their produce in this line so that success is assured them even before they have begun work. Wabash is becoming one ol Indiana’s best manufacturing cities and the Bareus Company is counted by the city as one of the best manufacturing concerns located there.
