SHIPPENSBURG IS HOME OF BIG BUSINESS [Continued l-Yoni First Page.] are a thrifty set of people, always 1 working for the welfare of the com- , 1 munity and helping the town to make | rapid strides. During the past few j ' years several dozen new homes have ' | been erected in the borough and hun- ' ! dreds of square yards of granolithic [ I paving laid. The streets are kept in | good condition and at every turn a' ; visitor sees some evidence of modern means employed by the citizens in j boosting the town. Shippensburg. too. is the home of the Cumberland Valley State Normal School, which, according to expecta tions. will be taken over by the State during the present year. The school has been in existence for almost a half century under the ownership of a corporation. Of course, the State has assisted the institution and in return for this help has appointed j nine of the eighteen trustees. The i • other nine have been elected by the i stockholders. According to the plan ! now on foot for the taking over of I the institution by the State, the stock- i holders must express tlioir willingness to sell out their interest to the State . and it is understood that these per ! sons favor selling their stock because of the benefits the school will receive. The chance in the control of the institution would not affect the stu dents or the faculty for the same, courses would be taught. The only j change which would be noted would be the reduction of the number of members of the board of trustees from eighteen to nine. If the transfer oc curs, the members of the board will be appointed by the State alone. At the present time there are about 410 students in the normal school and with the enrollment in the model; school, the total is carried to more than JOO. Many of the students here; are from Harrisburg and towns in the j immediate vicinity. But changes in the educational j facilities in the town are not the only improvements content-i plated. Within th e next month The Beistle Company, of which M. L. Beistle is president and general majt ! ager, will move into its new home, 1 ! now nearing completion. The com ! pany, which employs about 100 per sons. manufactures holiday specialties 1 and Christmas tree ornaments. Holly wreaths, imitation flowers, fences for j Christmas gardens and tinsel are a few of the things made and they have found such ready sale that time and I again the company has been forced to enlarge its working force and se cure larger quarters. The company ' had its beginning in Oakville. near i here, about eight years ago, but in a short time increased business meant larger quarters so the concern moved here. A few years ago a modern j plant was erected, but again big! orders compelled another change. ; Last September work was started on ; another building and this will be com- ; pleted within a few weeks. When; : the company gets into its new quar- i ' ters it is understood an effort will be j i made to secure more employes. There ' ' has been a great demand for the ( i company's products and orders re- I ceived during the past few days which ; i total several thousand dollars, insure ! the company of an exceptionally pros- ! perous year. Louis Kraemer & Company's fae torv building houses another import ant industry. Men's trousers and ; vests are manufactured and the com i pany specializes in the. former. One j hundred and seventy persons are on I the payroll at present and this force is capable of turning out about 1,000 ( pairs of trousers daily. The company j receives orders from all points be- ! tween Maine and California and the Great Lakes and the Gulf region. The factory was established here In 1890' and has been one of the town's prin cipal industries since. The local plant, is a branch of the Stony Creek Mills of Reading, where cloth for the local ; factory is woven. The Kraemety Company just now is i working td capacity and the only; j trouble it experiences is in getting sufficient cloth to fill the orders. The dye situation is proving quite incon ; venient. i Another very busy place at present | is the plant of the Shippensburg Knitting Company, where daily 430; dozen of men's half hose are turned out and shipped to Jobbers. This mill , ; employs sixty-five persons, mostly; girls, and although the dye situation , also has its effect on this plant, all] of the employes are kept busy. The [ mill Is one of the most modernly | equipped in the valley and the ma chines in operation include 105 knit-I ters, 10 loopers and 18 ribbers. The Imill was opened In the Spring of 1901 : jby Frank E. Hollar, who conducted | 1 the business until three years ago when it was sold to Angle Bros., who . now operate the plant. Among tho town's smaller In dustries are two carpet factories. One is operated by M. T. Hinkle and the I other by Alfred Leidy. Each week several hundred square yards of car pet are manufactured. Mr. Hinkle's ; plant, although small, has been in i continuous operation since 1836. Mr. Hinkle's father established the busi ! ness when he settled in Shippensburg and now the son is conducting the j business. Rummel, Himes & Company are ; manufacturers of overalls, trousers and work clothing and the plant is one which can be pressed into service bv the government in time of war. Circular letters sent to clothing manu facturers all over the country asking about equipment for turning out clothing for soldiers, were received here and this plant replied that it is well able to supply such clothing. The j local factory is one of three operated i I 1 by the company. The other two are located at Fayette ville and Mongul. I All of the garments are cut out at I the local plant, 2.300 suits are finished j ; here weekly. The three plants turn j i out 5,900 suits weekly. In the three 1 i plants about 175 persons are em ployed and 100 of these are working ; in the Shippensburg factory. Business! has taken a decided brace in the past l year and now the company is work | ing at its greatest capacity. Shippensburg has but one iron in j dustry and that is controlled by the Domestic Engine and Pump Company, j The concern manufacturers gasoline ; engines for pumping and hoisting and for general farm work. Eleven years ago the business was founded and a dozen men were given employment. During those years the business grew and from time to time the working force was increased until now there: are 130 men on the payroll. The company's products are well-known among users of gasoline engines and they have become noted for the ex cellent results tliey have given. The company ships to all parts of the i country, having representatives in ' cities and towns in every State in the Union. Another important industry in Shippensburg is that of the manu-j ; facture of diningroom furniture. Two big plants take care of this business and ship the pieces all over the United States. The Peerless Furniture Com- 1 i pany, of which A. E. Book is presi- ] dent, is one of the biggest concerns of! its kind in the State and on an aver- j age 2.000 diningroom extension tables are made monthly. One hundred men! j are given employment in (he factory i which has been In operation Ave j years. Two years ago the company i erected a big addition to the plant to take care of the business. Extension tables are made of oak and mahogany , in various finishes. The other furniture industry is con- i ducted by Boher & Phillips and : buffets, china closets, serving tables I and extension tables are made. The plant employs about 60 men and some of the articles which they produce are sold In stores in ITarrisburg. The furniture is given many different finishes and produced in sixty styles. | Years ago Mr. Boher operated a! furniture factory and Mr. Phillips I manufactured beds. The Boher plant was destroyed by tire and then the i two men joined hands and established the Boher & Phillips Furniture Com pany. Shippensburg is well located for industries as its railroad facilities are among the best in the State. Three roads, the Cumberland Valley, Phila delphia & Reading, and Western' | Maryland, join here. Deposit of Thompson Claims Will Be Asked! Special to the Telegraph ! Uniontdwn, Pa., Feb.
