bPpkokAFFS GLOVE fACTORY.--A CORES.
pondent Of the Baltimore Morning Herald,
says;-A few years since the firm Of Upde.
gran a Son, Hagerstown, Nd. dealers and
manufacturers Of hats, was led to make an
effort TO supply the local demand for good
gloves. The business has now grown into not
only very satisfactory shape, but into large
proportions; and q few notes concerning il
will be interesting.
Their entire force since August LIST has been
engaged excluFively upon work to gil orders,
and these, still continuing, have consumed all
the stock in hand, and kept them fully occu.
pied, so that they have had no opportunity,
ms they have had no need to seek other chan.
nels for trade than those open TO them.
Their sales for the past year aggregate forty.
hive thousand pairs.
Their factory is very interesting sight.
They employed steadily through the last year
fiity-two hands, all, with few exceptions,
young women, and twenty six machines, some
Of which are Of very novel construction.
Each glove passes through fourteen hands in
course, and with the thorough system adopt.
ed, every stage Of the work is tested, and only
passed when perfect. The products embrace
every variety Of glove and of work, from the
delicate kid, but few of which are made for
want of opportunity to make them, in view of
their established and constant demand for the
more durable grades, to the heaviest far, and
in every degree Of finish from the heavy welted
double'seamed buckskinto the delicate French
oyer-seamed glove. Lack of suitabls mate.
rial, duo to the sudden and greatly increased
demand for their goods, has greatly limited
their production, they being only, with diff
Guilty, able to keep pace with their orders,
which still continue, for gloves from special
order for single pair to gross at time,
and they have thus been forced to prepare
for much larger trade for the future. The
greater part oftheir material is prepared spe.
cially for them, and in advance. Their regu.
lar styles number seventy-six but during the
year, to fill special orders, they have increas.
ed to over one hundred. And whilst their
trade is mainly confined to Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia and the District of Colum.
bia, they haze filled orders from nearly every
State in the Union. They propose for the
future to meet the growing demands of their
trade. To do this will, they say, give em-
| ployment to quite double their present force
and they will aim during the year to provide
ample material to relieve them from the en-
barrassments met with during the past year,
in lack Of it. They have been unable at
times to procure, in such quality as they would
use, much Of the necessary material to keep
pace with all the demands made, and so have
had no opportunity to supply the market with
some styles, and have had to give over almost
entirely their local trade. Their determine.
ton to make their name a guaranty of quality
has thus been made manifest in way to com
mand the highest regard.
| With their now well established reputation,
and their proposed enlargement of their fa
cllities for manufacture, they may readily as.
sumo the position to American trade that
Dent has to English or Curyoiser to French.
