Large and extensive buildings, in the east end of the Borough, were put up many years ago to carry on the business of manufac- turing agricultural implements of all kinds, but principally for making Mowers and Reapers—pass- ing on through several firms, it is conducted at present by Marsh | & Company. Making reapers and mowers is their principal work. The article they put up, is ‘Im-~ proved Valley Chief’ known far and near as among the best rea- pers and mowers now in use. Their machines are sent off daily to almost every part of the country. We have another Agricultural Implement manufactory on a smal- scale by Wolgemuth & Geyer, ary ler where some reapers are also made, they put up threshing machines, corn shellers, etc., and do quite a good business. Quite a large establishment, plough factory carried on by Root, Son & Co., where ploughs of every kind are made; also harrows and cultivators. The articles are sent away almost every day in the cars, and many sold to the far- mers nearer home. These three establishments have foundries, where castings of every kind are made. Next comes cur Coach Factory by A. B. Landis, where vehicles of every kind are made, and in such credit that he receives or- ders for carriages from almost every part of the Union. We can boast of a large Steam Tannery kept going by Kutz and Strickler. In addition to their manufacturing and keeping a sup- a ply of leather on hand for the town, country around far and near, they export leather to Eu- rope. Cabinet or Furniture making is quite a business here, goods of the finest as well as the common kinds are made and kept for sale in these establishment viz H. S.

In the “Art preservative of Arts,” we have two newspapers, both weekly, in politics both Republi- can. The Mount Joy Herald, started in 1852 by J. Stauffer, taken in hand by his sou, F. H. Stau- ffer, now the novelist, and who was born and educated in this place in 1854 and sold by him in 1864 to the present owner and editor J. R. Hoffer. Size of paper 22x34 inches. In addition to this Mr. Hoffer has 'in the same build- ing quite a large variety store or goods of many kinds for sale. The Mount Joy Star was in 1873 owned and edited by L. M. Gallagher, size of paper 24x36 inches. The town iy not behind in phil- anthropy and benevolence, There are five organizations, all bede- ficial: Independent Order of Odd Fel- lows.

They commenced prac- tice here as follows A. Sheller M. D. in 1834; A. M. Hiestand, M. D. in 1857 and W. M. L. Zeig- ler M. D. in 1875. One Dentist, S. S. P. Lytle in 1873. Our Jusisice of the Peace, Mar- tin, McFadden and Zeller are good conveyancers. One of them J. H. Zeller in addition attends to sur- veying. To mention everything that is made here and the business of all with their names would take up time and space, and perhaps not is of mem- recently estab- make us any more worthy of notice; sufficient is it to say that all that is needed in town or country around, is made here, and if not, brought there when nec- essary. We have many beautiful houses in our town, many of them with the modern improvements. The The front yards and gardens, dec- orated with many varities of flowering plants, the front win- down, especially during winter are perfect shows of flowers. The town supplied 1 is wii were «erected in 1874 -and 1875, cost $40,000 and increased since.

The banks ! in pipes to every part of the town, distance to town three fourths of a mile and the arrangement such {that should a fire occur, a signal can be sent to the pump rooms, land by some little change, a force can be applied in a very short time, The view from the Reservoir and Cemetery Hill is sublime, taking in parts of Lancaster, Leb- anon, and York Counties, it will be hard to find anything superior. The R. R. Company talk of changing the Passenger Depot, and to put up a new building for that purpose in another part of the town. How soon this will be done is hard to tell, and if built, will it better present conviences! and the present is so great that we may say the first was a dot of small things. An inversion of the miscrope on the past would show something of the present. I mean in comparison.

This can be done easily by every housewife if she has an electric refrigerator that is large enough to store the food at the time the quantity is bought. She can ob- ‘ain a whole weeks’ supply of highly nutritive meats and vege- tables at real bargain prices and store them safely until they are o be used.” The modern electric refrigerator has many attractive features such as special ment, a glass enclosed fresh fruit and vegetablle Humidrawer and super capicity Sanalloy frosters.

THE WEEK IN BUSINESS By Orton B. Motter New York, March 10—Business— Activity in most American indus- tries, though little changed from February, continues to lag behind a year ago. operating rate still elings to the 30% of capacity level, although a better feeling in steel consuming areas was reported last week. Electric power output is running 8% under a year ago, with about 2,025,000,000 kilowatt hours produ- ced last week. Railroad carloadings were estimated at 54,445 cars com- pared with 127,134 cars at this time last year. Retail trade showed some improvement from February levels but sales volume for the country as a whole was 57% to 11% under a year ago. * * * * * WASHINGTON—Leaders in vari- ous branches of industry almost daily are bringing reports to Washington that, in their opinion, the business resession has hit bot- tom. They look for a gradual rise from now on. Most important important legislative event last week was a new tax bill brought discussion in the House designed to offer “a very stimulation to busi- | ness” by easing the burdens of the undistributed profits tax and modifying the capital gains ,inheri- tance and gift taxes. The mea- sure 390 pages long and took more than 100 days to draw up. For corporations with annual incomes under $25,000 the new bill proposes to eliminate the un- distributed profits tax and to substitute a straight income tax of | 125 percent to 16 percent. The up for { and | substantial is existing law compels all corpora- ciple of the undistributed surplus surtax, will be reported to the House by March 10 and will be passed. * % % % Headlines—Western Union, ask- ing for 15 percent rate increase, declares $3,000,000 of added in- come would be passed on to em- ployes in higher wages...Johns- Manville Corporation, large build- ing supply firm, eliminates divi- dend on common stock.
