THE SINGER WORKS.
Concluded from Fourth Pug' }

painfully loud to one not accustomed to II.
The sides and ends Of the glued tables are
here dressed and the whole machine tables
are formed. A piece Of black walnut isglued
to one end of the original tablets, anil to
this another smaller piece Of the composite
board is glued, which forms the folding
end of the machine table when complete.
Having gone through this glueing process,
the tables are locked into forms and dried,
and when dried, they are taken out, the
sides dressed off, a narrow strip of walnut
glued to each side, and they are again
locked up into forms, dried again, and are
then ready for shipment to South Berd,
there to undergoa polishing process, 10 be
sawed in two and hinged, anil to be
supplied with the other cabinet attach
ments peculiar to the celebrated ma
chimes,
The motive power Of this e.hive of
industry is supplied by four Babcock &
Wilcox boilers Of so horse. power capacity
each, and by a 700 horsepower engine
100 hands are employed in the buildings
alone, and perhaps as many more in the
woods preparing logs, The capacity Of the
institution when running on regular time,
is one thousand tables per day. And there
is demand for more than this. Every
part Of the institution is in full blast every
day, the river and yards have large sup
ply of logs and the hewers are busy getting
out more all available space in the factory
is covered with timber at all stages in it's
course of preparation, and the company is
increasing the capacity of the
factory The new building just
completed which is sevnty-6ve
feet wide by one hundred and seventy six
feet long, all one room, is to be used for
the watts and cutting machines, The twelve
watts now in use in the adjoining building
will be transferred to this new one, and
besides these twelve new watts will be CON
structed. Until now but one cutter has
been in use; but two more are here and are
being put up in this new building. The cut
ter, until now in use, which Is now also in
operation in the adjoining building, will
also be transferred to the new building as
soon as the necessary shaftipg shall have
been put up.
Extensive as this industry already is, it
is bat the smaller part Of what the original
plan Of the company contemplated it
should be. At present only the rough
work is done at the works here; the finish
ing and the cabinet work is all done at
the South Bend works.
According to the original plan, which
President Mckenzie has assured US will
be carried out, there are to be
FIVE ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS
erected, each three stories high and sixty
feet wide By five hundred feet long, in
which the finishing and cabinet work is to
be done There is TO be sufficient space
between each building to give fire protec-
ton each is to be connected at each story
with suspension bridges; each supplied
with necessary elevators and starcases
which will all be on the outside of the
buildings; and each building will be di-
vided by fire wall every hundred feet.
Twelve dry klns, each with capacity OF
| fifty thousand feet Of lumber, are to be con
structed, and one thousand men
are to be employed, The company
has already secured the land
upon which to erect these immense build
ines and 1t is probable that in little time
the work of building them will begin.
The gentlemen in charge of the works
here are Mr., j N. Carver superintendent,
Mr.. W. H. Oakley, cashier and Mr.. Leigh.
ton Pine general manager.
1t cannot be repeated too often that the
confidence IN Cairo felt by this great cor
poration and proved not only by words,
but by deeds which involve the Investment
of many thousand dollars, is recommen-
dation for Cairo as safe and in every way
desirable manufacturing point, such as any
city in the world might
covet, Add to this the opin'
ion of Mr.. Mckenzie, president of the com
pany, expressed few days ago in CONVEX
sation with BULLETIN representative, that
"of all the many principal cities and towns
visited by him in Europe and America
Cairo WAS the best manufacturing point he
had yet seen" and we have verdict in our
favor which none but preudicod gnoramu-
SOS will dare to dispute.
Cairo lie Justly proud OF the Singer Works
that are and that are to DO, and OF the good
opinion entertained Of her by those best
