the sta dard is at once condemned. 1t Is therefore
aim st impossible that an imperfect piece can get
into q machine. This room contains an immense
assortment Of the various parts of the machines,
which finally pass to the setters up" who put them
together and test the complete machine. Adjoining
this ia pattern aud drawing room where designs
and models are made.
in this story is the platin groom where, by means
OF the eectro-plating process, certain portions of
the machines ore coated with pure silver-these
are afterwards TAX IN to an adjoining room TO be
bETnished.
THE JAPANNING AND oRNAMBETING DEPARTMENT.
This is separate building in the rear Of the main
factory, seventy-1ve feet long and two stories In
height Here are brought all the portions OF the
machine which are to be japanned and ornamented.
This is an operation OF great interest In the hrst
story 1.-THE table-standaTds wheels, ETC., are
japanned, loaded on iron cars and run on tramways
into the brick ovens, where they remain at tempera-
ture OF 1s0 degrees for twelve hours They are then
removed and ornamented, and sent TO the packing
room, where they are boxed for transportation.
In the second story the bedplates and other parts
OF the machines painted, gilded and beautifully
inaid with pearl in various ornamental patterns by
skilful and artistic workmen Here, also, cars and
tramways are employed to place the machRes in
immense ovens, some Of which admit two cars some
fifteen feet in length, containing $50 machines.
THE BLACKSMITH SHOP
is In another brick building In the OF the fac
tory-1O feet in length-in which all the small TOOLS
such drills, cutters ETC., used in the works,
made and repaired.
THE WOODWORK
for supporting inclosing the machines, is made
In factories entirely separate from this and dis
tinct branch Of the business, requiring more space
and nearly as many hands ss are engaged In the
manufacture Of the machines. The woodwork varies
from common plain table to most elaborate rose
wood, carved black walnut or mahogany cabinet,
ne for adv,a hmm arp in
CambridgepOrt, New York city, Philadelphia, Balti-
more Chicago, and various other places, located
with q view OF saving the cost and avoiding the
damage and risk Of transportation. This branch re-
quires the disbursement of large sums OF money, as
may be well imagined, when we reflect that each
machine is accompanied by one or the many styles
| Of woodwork.
THE PACKING DEPARTMENT..
busy scene ispresented In this department, from
which the machines forwarded to all parts OF the
civilized world. The bills for packing at Bos-
| ton alone are upwards OF $4,000, and the many
| teams OF the company are constantly employed in
transporting large loads to the various depots and
| wharves for shipment to their destination.
| ENLARGEMENT AND IMPROVEMENT AT THE FACTORY.
To accommodate their rapidly increasing busl-
ness the company has lately enlarged its factory by
| an addition on Washington street five stories in
height and 100 feet in length. This is already filed
| with machinery running in connection with that in
| the remainder Of the building, and the increased
facilities are beginning TO be apparent In the pro-
| duction.
We know Of not many prettier sights than the one
presented to the passerby OF this large and substa
tia building with its hundreds OF windows lighted,
| as it Is every nig's till O'Clock, by gas. good
| idea Of the extent OF the main building thus

cupolas fer melting iron, and Sturevant 'bower.'
Every modern convenience for facilitating the neoes
| sary operations is here employed.
CONCLUSION.
Thus we are shown how ingenuity and never
| tiring enterprise, combined with an upright and
straightforward manner In all their business trans
actions have succeeded The foregoing will furnish
| food for the reflective mind OF many young mar
now starting in the business OF life From small be
gnnings see business gradually but constantly
and surely progressing unttl 1t now reaches posi-
| ton second to few and Of importance exceeded b.
none.
