ONE OF SANTA'S SHOPS IS IN DUNCANNON [Continued from First Page.] the North Pole and there are not so many people know that they are be ing built in this town. One day about ten years ago, Santa Claus visited Duncannon. He went from house to house and then visited the various stores and industrial plants. Away up at the north end of the town he found a plant ■•ailed the Standard Novelty Works aid on n work bench there he found a sled. The design was pretty, its weight was light and above all It really couiu be guided. Painted on the seat were a number of letters which spelled "Lightning Gulder." S.uita Claus looked at the toy care f'.ily and then murmured to himself, "I'm getting old now and lugging hun dreds of sleds from the North Pole Is burdensome. I like this sied belter than any of the old cheese boxes I've been making so I believe I'll get the men in this factory to make sleds for me If they will." And that was the beginning of sled making as an industry in Duncannon. Santa left his order at the Standard Novelty Works at that time and during all these years thousands of children have been supplied with which Santa has gotten here. In fact a big proportion of all of the sleds which he distributes between Chicago and Boston are made by his helpers here. The Novelty works employs on an average, about 35 men and at present they are working from 7 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock at night. Sieds are being turned out at the rate of 800 each day and no other work except this Is being done there just now. The company began filling its Santa Claus orders In June, but even | with Uw enormous number turned out THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 23, 1915 there has not been enough to Buppply the demand. Daily for the past sev eral weeks orders have been turned down. A trip through the plant is interest ing. Each man has his duty to per form on each sled, so that when the last workman gets hold of it he puts on the finishing touch which makes It ready for delivery. The toys are all shipped from the Pennsylvania rail road station at Duncannon and these daj s the station platlorm resembles the sled department of a big city store. Beside the sleds, the Standard Nov elty Works manufactures porch gates., porch furniture and swings. These are usually made early in the vear, before the rush for sleds starts. But the novelty works is not the only industry working over time in this busy borough. The Duncannon Iron and Steel company, with 350 em ployes, is working double turn and is shipping on an average, 500 tons of rolled iron weekly. Scrap Iron of all descriptions is shipped to the plant, remelted and then rolled Into round, flat and square bars. The two 'mills are working to capacity and in 2 4 hours more than 2,200 bars are rolled. The approximate length of these Is about GO feet, so that If the day's out put could be put in a straight line, the bars would reach for a distance of more than 25 miles. Tn the puddle mill, too, 25 tons of Iron are turned out daily. The iron works were reopened on ■< September 15 after having been dosed for IS months. Before the opening | $30,000 was oxpended in making r<v pairs and improvements about the mills. Labor is scarce «t present and i officials of the company say that they! would employ many more, men If they could get them. The plant's outlook | for the future is very bright and or ders on hand will keep the concern | running tor some lima to com*.

Special $5.95 Dlves - fe o c?nd° y F?o * ewart ' example of the company's big business is shown in the announcement that during the month of October alone $170,000 worth of scrap iron was pur chased. Duncannon is rejoicing overt the re opening of the mills and business is in creasing. The payroll at the iron works is $7,500 every two weeks and a goodly part of this sum is being ex pended in the borough. The reopening of the plant is di rectly due to the European war, al though the company is not filling any war orders. Many concerns in various parts of the country which rolled iron, transformed their plants into muni tions factories for the manufacture of shrapnel. Rolled iron was badly need ed by the railroads and the owners of the Duncannon mills, seeing an oppor tunity to reopen the local plant, seiz ed It and soon started work. Weekly skilled workmen are being brought here from various parts of the country and if a sufficient number could be gotten, there would be a strong possi bility of an addition being built to the plant. Shirts are also beinrr made in Dun cannon and it is said that the daily output of this concern, the Good In tent Shirt Factory, is close to 150 doz ens. The plant Is owned by J. Ar thur Rife and at present here are 54 lilrls empjoyed. The factory contains GO machines and more will be In stalled if more girls can be secured. Mr. Rife said he would increase his working force to 200 anil enlarge the plant but labor Is so scarce thai there is no likelihood of an enlargement at the present time. The plant has been |in existence about IT years and Mr. iJSIfo bought it nix years age. The I shirts made in Dunc.-tnnon are of good |quality and nrr being cold In all parts loi' the I'nited State*. In addition to the three plants at | present located here, there are some Ifiroayecta that the Juniata Paper com- ,pany, a newly organized concern, will I erect a factory here in the Spring, giv ing employment to many men. The company is made up of men who re j side in Altoona, Tyrone and Port J Royal and plans are now being made I for the erection of factory buildings. I It is understood that already ground I has been purchased by the new com- I pany. The Juniata river, according I to the plans, Is to be harnessed to fur j nlsh the power. SMITH PEACE ENVOY TO MEET THE GOVERNOR ? [Continued From First Pago.] ing. There was evidently a determin ation to maintain secrecy regarding jthe visit inasmuch as those about tho 1 Governor persistently avoided giving | any information regarding the pres- I ence of the mayor-elect In the city. | They even parried direct questions, j later in the ev ning and so far as they iwere concerned he never was here. But while the street lights were out last night, the moon shined brightly and that's why the handsome new ex ecutive of th»i metropolis of the Com monwealth w.is unable to get away from Harrlsbuig without being seen. Among those who are able to ana- I lyze political conditions the mysterious I visit of the mayor-elect, who was ap-1 ! pointed t<s the Public Service Commis sion by Governor Brumbaugh a few I | weeks boforc he became the harmony! I candidate for the chief office In Phlla- I jdelphla, his appearance at the Mansion I | last night was interpreted generally in j I one way—r messenger of peace and i good will. It will not be forgotten that a few ■ weeks ago Mayor-elect Smith created a political sensation by appointing as jthe heads of tho mote important de l pai'tiuenU oX the Philadelphia govern- ment recognized lieutenants of the two Vttres—the congressman and the senator, potential influences In the Republican party. This sensation was promptly followed a few days later by a statement from the mayor-elect that he regarded Senator Boles Pen rose as the leader of his party in the State and that he strongly disapproved of any attempt to divide the Repub lican forces over the election of dele gates to the national convention. These two moves coming so close to gether seemed to indicate that it was the purpose of Mayor-elect Smith to discourage any factional alignment in the Republican party. He is said to have declared to personal friends that he would give all political inter ests a fair deal but under no circum stances would he encourage any move that would lead to party discord. These l'acts seem to give color to the belief in certain quarters that the coming of the mayor-elect to Harris burg last night and his long private conference with Governor Brumbaugh had for its object tho prevention of any break between the Governor and Senator Penrose. It is believed that because the Philadelphia administra tion is to be conducted by one holding these views, the possibility of party disruption and discord becomes less and less. As neither the Governor nor the mayor-elect will discuss their con ference future developments will be awaited with interest, but it Is pre dicted that Governor Brumbaugh will have tlio support of the Republican organization in all the important poli cies of his administration and that he may be one of the delegates-at large to the national convention from | Pennsylvania. These events falling so closely upon such events as the Gary dinner in New York, where Colonel Koosevelt was the chief guest, indi cate the "get togetner" spirit of the llepubllcan party throughout the country.
