The Jackson & Woodin Manufac turing Company, located at Berwick, Columbia county, Pa., has in its em ploy to-dav more workmen than at any time during the half century of its existence. 1 heir special work for many years consisted in the manu facture oflarge cars. But this enter prising firm could not be content with one special line, and so a few years ago enlarged their foundry and began the work of making large water pipes. Die work of car building has made such rapid strides in the past few years that cars could be made at a profit only by those who had improved machinery. Mr. C. R. Woodin, the president of the company, conceived the idea of re-arranging their car works so that more work could be done per day, with the same fuel, power, and workmen. Last summer they began work on rebuilding their smithshop. Two new buildings were erected, one of 90 by 100 feet and the other 60 by 80 feet ; also an en tire new brick building built around the old one making it about 12 feet larger on all sides. A new engine of 80 horse power was placed in last fall ; also blower and eight new double forge furnaces. Several immense power punches, bolt and nut machines. The pig iron is first taken in the ROLLING MILL where T. H. Catterall, a trusty workman of many years experience is the Siuperintendeut. Here the iron is pressed into square and round shapes as the work may require. The superintendent of this department has under his care about 250 workmen, and turn out over 1 100 gross tons of finished iron every month. The work in the rolling mill consists not only in making iron for their own use, but for general trade as large shipments are made to foreign points. The iron as needed for the smith shops is taken by cars, and under the super vision of William Boyles, who has been in their employ for upwards of forty years, is distributed to the vari ous machines, operated by 1 50 work men, where it is cut to lengths, holes punched and drilled, bolts headed, threads cut and nuts made, the entire work of the day consuming 30 tons of iron and finishing twelve large cars, requiring over ten thousand bolts. Among the new powerful machines lately added is one that punches from cold wrought iron six holes at a stroke, one that drills 6 and another that drills 8 inch holes at a time. These thirty tons of finished wrought iron are next taken to the CAR DEPARTMENT, where two hundred and fifty more workmen are engage in preparing the lumber, of which forty-two thousand feet of oak and yellow pine are used, and twelve large sixty thousand pound hopper cars are finished daily. The wood-working department is in charge of Gideon Beishline and the car erection superintended by Wm. Faust. A contract of 1000 cars for the D. L. Si W. R. R. is now being completed and during the months of July and August 500 Lehigh Valley box cars must be delivered. THE FOUNDRY DEPARTMENT is a hive of industry. The three hundred and fifty men employed have hardly room enough to work, this department is in charge of Wm. Fens- termacher, D. C. McHenry and Wm. Shoals. Here 4000 car wheels, 400 tons of general castings and 800 tons of pipe are made every mnoth. Over 3000 tons of pipe are now stored ready for spring and summer sales. The pipe casting department is in charge of Geo. Moorehead. THE MACHINE SHOP, in charge of Abner Welsh, gives em ployment to over 50 workmen, whose time is given to turning car wheels, axles, etc. In addition to these various depart ments is the lumber yard in charge of John A. Keepner; the painting in charge of A. D. Seely ; which to gether with the teamsters gives em ployment to over 150 more. This mammoth establishment has on its pay roll to-day over 1200 employees, with a monthly wage-earning of $40, 000 ; and a cash pay roll of about $25,000. The outlook tor the sum mer's work is very bright, as their pres ent orders will likely carry them near ly to the winter months. You can save money on Window Shades at Clark & Sons. Get our prices.

One year ago we had 500 gallons of Old Rye 'Whiskey in Bond, which was considered a large stock to carry and sufficient for the trade. The demand, however, for our whiskey became such, that we were compelled to in crease the capacity of our distillery, in order to give the whiskey some age before placing it on the market. We are now making over a barrel a day ; having a dally capacity of over 50 galSe and carrying a stock of 11,000 gals, in Bond. We hope to give our patrons the benefit of the age and will sell no whisk ey under six months, and from that up to tbree years. No second hand barrels are used at our Distillery ; all our whiskey is bonded in new, clean, charred, barrels, and for purity and qual ity we defy competition. We have never distill ed a bushel of corn, and we do hereby guarantee ALL our whiskey to be absolutely Pure live and doubled on a copper lined still and to any person who will find any drugs or corn in oar whiskey as it leaves our Dis tilllery or Salesroom, we will forfeit $500,00.
