Essex Wire closing will raise unemployment rate

Ligonier residents receiver, some stunning news Tuesday Oct. 29, When Essex Wire cor poration announced the phase ou of its operations in Ligonier b; the first quarter of 1975. A meeting was held Monday Nov. 4, with labor an* management of Essex to discus the problems involved in th* move. Mayor Writes Mayor Grover Patrick has written to Essex Fort Wayne office offering assistance to th company to try to keep the plant in Ligonier. That letter follows: "This letter is prompted by your recent announcement that the Ligonier Plant will be phased out within the next few months. "It is my understanding that the Plant is being closed mainly because of problems with the building. "Since Essex Wire is one of our largest employers (approximately 450 people), I feel that the results of the shutdown will have a major impact not only on the employees directly affected, but also on the general economy of the entire area. . "Therefore, if there is anything i or the City of Ligonier can do to help resolve your problems, please contact me. I feel that by working together we can find you another plant since we have some space in our Industrial Park that would be suitable for your needs. “I would appreciate hearing from you in the near future concerning this situation.** The Chamber of Commerce is studying the situation as is the Ligonier Industrial Development corporation. Mayor Patrick suggested space available for the plant in Ligonier’s industrial park. The plant closing was decided following a citation by the Federal Occupational Safety and Health administration. The administration apparently condemned the building a&Jßeing unsafe. A great majority of employees at Essex are women and the shutdown will certainly affect many families in Ligonier. Noble county’s unemployment rate is currently 3.3 per cent and with the phase out of Essex Wire the figure could be as high as 5.5 per cent. The Ligonier plant dates back to 1900 when the building was owned by Ligonier Carriage company. Part of the present structure was occupied by Ligonier Refrigerator company in the 1920’5. The building was sold to a group of investment bankers in 1926 and became the Hussman-Ligonfcr company. The industry was closed during the depression from 1932 to 1942 and the building reopened to manufacture pre-fabricated homes for the government. At the end of 1943 the firm was liquidated and buildings taken over by US Rubber company in 1944 Essex came to Ligonier in 1946 and had less than 50 employees the first year. The figure has risen to as many as 500 workers at one time. Moat information about the closing of the Ligonier plant is speculation at the present time. The community is hopeful and anxious about the outcome of labor management meetings as well as appeals by city officials to keep the plant in Ligonier.

PHASE OUT WILL CLOSE ESSEX WIRE — Ptaiwed here is the 75 year old Ligonier plant which employes over 4W area residents. The gradual phase out of operations in Ligonier is scheduled for early 1975.
