BROTH KRS AND TRACY.
Agreeable to your request (madesome time
since) the writer dropped i . upon the manu
factory of Messrs. Hi'inohrey Brothers &
Tracyj located within the b.jiwiek of the
lleyisier, ai Towanda, I'a., and inspected
their cctablishinciit, under ihe courteous di
rection of the senior par ner, Mr. I. It. Hum
phrey. This establishment began business
under the 11 m name of Ilumprey Brothers,
July 1 IX7I. The gentlemen composing this
linn, M s " . I. It. & <'. I>. Humphrey, had
the benefit of : everal years of successful busi
ness i i i lie i ■i rune at Towanua. having
been <o i.; d with ihe firm of J. I). llum

Tliiit bui'ijlig bar. a . roniageof forty anil a
dentil of eigii y fee , and is live stories in
lie y,lll. Ou the ti of January, 1872, Mr. C.
L. Tracy joined t!ie firm, and its si vle was
then changed io tiie one it now bears. Mr.
Tracy had for several ye,. -s been connected
with the First National Bank of Towanda—
latterly as teller, am. b>ought into the firm a
thorough busi,, -ss experience, and a hand
some inherited capital. The labors of the
tir.n arc divided between these gentlemen,
Mr. I. B. Ilnmbiiecv, the senior member, al
lendiug to the pureiutae of stock, selling and
superintending Hie manufacture o the goods;
M\ T aey to the iinanciul department; Mr.
C. 1). Humphrey devoting his attention to
• lie sales ag< neies, collecting and the traveling
business of the firm.
Th' establishment is divided into various
departments necessary for the conduct of its
bi'siuess, the tirst floor being devoted to the
business ofiiee ami sales room; the basement
story to storing leather, rubber goods and
shoes, and the sole-leather cubing room; the
second story to cutting uppers, titling, crimp
ing, etc.; tiiejhird floor Io bottoming, cut-
I tig pegs, inspecting. etc., the fourih to bot
tom finishing, treeing and packing.
The ave.age number of men employed is
about sixty-live; and the work usually con
tinues for eleven months in the.year. The
work is divided amongst stock-cm .tors, titters,
bottomers. botloni-tiliisliers, treers, crimpers,
and the tilting mid pasting is'done by the
female employes. Of these lie cutters only
are paid by ihe day—all the others by the
piece. The foreman is Mr. William Foley;
Mr. liuiigei ford is : ,i c >,rge ojf the sole-leath
er room; Joseph Ochs the iitiing room, and
A. <Stewart is inspector of bottoming.
The bottom tiiiisliimr room is in charge of
Dennis Clark; the treeing room is in <•' urge
of (. W. Alger.
All tin-work turned out by this cslablish
mi'iit what is known to the trade as hand
made work, in contradistinction to inachitic
liiadr goods, and bears the stamp of the linn.
These floods comprise all kinds of negged
boots and shoes, consisting of call', line kip
and sloga wear. The linn lies made a special
ly of miners' goods, and mining boots and
shoes. Their work lias a superior reputation;
and their sales are widely distributed through
out this and the adjoining states, being divid
ed about equally between the mining and ag
ricultural districts. Besides manufacturing
the above named goods, the Messrs. liumph
i rey Brothers & Tracy do an extensive jobbing
trade in all kinds of men's, women's, misses'
and children's shoes. Their sales run from
$250,000 to SBOO,OOO per annum; and they
ship about 10.000 cases of manufactured goods
a year. These arc sent to the Wyoming and
Lackawanna valleys, the Hazleton, Schnvl
kill. Barclay, Blossburg and Antrim, Sullivan,
and Clearfield coal regions; and to Pittsburg,
Kasion. Alleniown. York, etc., to Ohio and
other agricultural icgins of t'.iis and adjoining
states. From (lie beginning there has been a
steady i >cror.se of hus'ness bv tins tirm, and
an enia ~euient of the area of the territory
covered by heir trade. Mr. Humphrey, seni
or, remarked to the wiic, in the course of a
tour ihrougb the premises.' hat they had never
known so small a stock of their own manufac
' ured gooc's on hnd at any previous invoic
. big. on the tirst of Janua.v, as now.
Mess Humphrey Brothers St Tracy use r.
comparatively Mni'iod amount of machinery;
amongst the rest, the (sraves (of Rochester)
stripping, die, and skiving machines, heel
press ami roller; May's clamping and pick
ing machines, and J chord's (Milford, Mass.)
crimping brakes. The average annual outlay
for wages is from $25,000 to SBO,OOO.
Amongst their own townsfolk no firm
stands li ghcr in point of tini'iicial credit and
individual character tiia i this enterprising
rssocia on of young me i. They were the
firs, to Iveak the monotony of flic town with
a permanent end successful manufactory.
Their enter; '*tso, fidelity to business and
.borough acqui'',) anco with the demands of
of their undertaking, have proved a most im
portant and pnlnahic benefit to the 'own and
nei; him hood. The wri or will not feel that
he has d harged his whole duty to the lley
istcr in is matter, acting on its own holiest,
if he iV •<> reiterate what is generally felt

that Ine : a i< lg of Messrs. Humphrey Bros.
