hundred and fifty men. Their shops oc-

deep, four and five stories high. They are
building about eight hundred carriages

Establishments.
CABINET MAKERS UNION. Much
has been said of the valuable walnut lum-
her of Indiana. and much more should be
said to induce capital to manufacture the
same in this city rather than ship mil
lions of logs annually, and bring furni-
| ture made i'm other cities. Several years
ago a company Of industrious Germans
here formed what is well known as the
1Cabinet Makers Union" and CON-
menced the manufacturing of furniture
on what was then considered a large
scale. The great demand for their eX-
Icellent furniture has caused them to. en-.
