THEIR FACTORY
The furniture factory of this energetic firm, is
located at Wisburg, mile south of the shops
on the o. 4 @. railroad. Steam power, taxes. and
interest invested money in factories in cities is
no light burden to manufactures. AS the mariner
avoids shoals and quicksands In the location of
&
needless outlay and heavy running expenses where
others, less wise, have fallen into those errors
They bought about two years ago ten acres of land
with one of the best water privileges in the state
erected suitable buildings put in machinery OF the
latest and best kinds and there within four miles
of Portland they produce every grade of furniture
required In their large and growing business. We
were through the factory some months ago. and have
not seen an establishment which seems to se con-
Quoted with more system, or better management
We see from sanctum daily great loads of their
furniture crossing at the ferry from the factory to
the warerooms.
The most successful Touring mills in this state
in fact the only profitable oneshave been those run
by water power, while steam power mills have been
far from profitable. In New England the great chair
and furniture factories in the interior adjoining
streams furnishing motive power. The greatest
furniture factories Of Grand Rapids, Michigan are
run by water power Shindler 4 Chadbourne
have certainly acted wisely in locating their factory

maple spruce, cedar, walnut and hr are stacked
about the factory. years supply is always
stored to insure proper seasoning, and one of
the most annoying featureg--shrnking and swelling
of furniture-thus avoided. Only the most skilled
artisans employed. Chamber suits, Office libra
ry, parior and dining room furniture are produced
in large quantities. and from the lowest priced chair
to the finest bedstead, nothing is allowed to leave
the factory without strict examination and the sssr-
ance of perfect workmanship IN every detail.
The stores and warerooms of the firm located
on First and Front streets between Morrison and
Ysmhill and occupy three floors fifty by two hun
