The proprietor is man to the
manor born"-a native of the
county. In February, 1864, Msssrs
John D. Koontz, now in Iowa, and
A. j. Wilson formed a partnership
for the purpose of conducting the
lumber business in all its branches /;
ground was broken on the lot where
the factory now stands and a substan-
tial building erected thereon. 10 two
years time business had increased to
such an extent with them that it was
found necessary to build an annex to
the original building, which was done,
enlarging it to its present dimensions,
60x180 feet long and 50xl00 feet
wide. On June Sd, 1876, Mr. Kocntz
withdrew from the firm and went
West leaving Mr.. Wilson sole pro-
prietor.
The machinery used ii this large
establishment is of the latest ard
most improved pattern. Among the
heavier pieces we noticed the follow

Worcester, Mass; one 24-inch servi.
Ger for planing boards; Power, Tain
tor & Cos Philadelphia moulding
machine; Dobsou's bracket saw, a
"wobble' saw and various smaller
pieces of machinery. The engine
room is on the northwest side OF the
building.

ahead is very promising for brisk
fall trade. He has erected twelve
