SIZE, CAPACITY, LOCATIONS, ETC.
From the Detroit 'Tribune.'l
Messrs. Simmons, Clough 4 Co., manu-
fActurers OF reed organs, etc, having met
with remarkable success in business, on
account Of the excellence of their wares,
found their quarters-the block occupied
by them on Mama avenue, near the
corner Of Gratiot-entirely too small.
Consequently they have entered into ar
engagements to increase the capacity of
their works, and in doing SO expect to be
fully able to supply all the demands that
may be made upon them. Their business
has grown to immense proportions ,and, not
withstsnding their enteprising disposition
and qualities, they have been unable, dur
ing the past year especially, TO keep pace
with their orders. This state of affairs is
gratifying alike to the city and to the
firm.
On the LIST OF January a new partner
ship was formed, which is to last three
years, and ii will be known as the Sim.
mons d Clongh Organ Company. +. j.
Simmons, James x. Clough and Joseph A.
Warren are to be the general partners and
jesse Ii. Farwell is admitted AS special
partner, the latter contributing $4,000 to
the capital stock Of the concern. Ar
engagements have also been perfected
whereby the capital stock can be increased
ut any time, and the members Of the firm
are fully able to carry them out.
Nor IL this all. The company have pur.
chased large lot on the northeast corner
Of Congress and Sixth streets, upon which
they have erected a mandatory Of large
capacity, and one that in completeness OF
detail, durability and in exterior finish i.
a decided ornament TO that part of the
city. We are unable to give a minute
description of the structure. 1t has a
! frontage Of 100 feet on Sixth street by GO
I feet on Congress street, and besides high
basement 10 four stories in height. The
lot has II frontage on Sixth street of 100
feet, and on Congress street of 1873 feet.
Thus it will be seen that there will be sbund
ance Of room. Separate from the main
building there is an engine-room, dry
kilns, etc, and in the course Of time an
addition will be made to the former so as
/ TO give it an IL shape.
The factory is supplied with q 40 horse
power engine, and new machinery
throughout, and is one Of the largest
buildings used for manufacturing pur-
poses in this city. The cost Of the build
Tag is estimated at about 800, COO. The
new building will accommodate all their
employees, and besides being commodous
will be heated by steam. 1t was COM
pisted and ready for occupancy on the Is,
of May, 1872.
The company manufacture 40 different
Il styles OF instruments, which sell for from
\ $50 TO $500 each, and the great demand
! for them 10 the best proof of their quality
Their cabinet styles" have become grea,
favorites wherever they have been intro
duced, especially since the introduction
:, into them Of the stops, the Vor Celeste anc
the Louis patent Vor Humane. To thei
grand combination organs they are az
plying a wonderful invention which i
U known as Scribner's patent "quslifyin,
;, tubes" which impart to the organ smooth

Il power and brillisncy of the music. Thu
new company Ia composed of energeti
business men, and they undoubtedly hav
. . good future before them. s-stf.
