HANSON WAGON WORKS. We
Americans are a people proud of our
country, proud of our commerce, proud
OF our inventions but prouder still of our
manufacturers. Among the manufacture
ing enterprises here of which we have
reason to be proud is that conducted by
Mr.. Andrew Hanson. This gentleman
has his own efforts to thank for the high
position he occupies In commercial cir
cles that of being the leading manufac-
turer of various vehicles, in This part Of
the state. Ever since his commencement
in the business he has kept persistently
in view but one great object and that has
been the production of superior work.
In a recent tour through the various
manufacturers of the city, We were par
ticularly impressed with the busy pros
porous air and the ample facilities pre-
sented to view by an inspection OF Mr..
Hanson's factory. This business was
started 30 years ago and has gradually
worked Its way up to Its present magni-
tude. The plant covers a large area OF
ground some 2O0x300 feet which is most
~ taken up by the factory, ware rooms,
sheds and etc. The factory Is fully sup
FLIED with the latest wood working ma
chinery and power is furnished by steam.
Mr.. Hanson gives his close personal at
tentIon TO every detail Of the business
supervising the work from the first stages
until it is placed in the salesroom for the
inspection of his many customers. Every
art icle which enters into the construction
of these vehicles is carefully selected with
a view to durability and every piece OF
iron, steel or stick of timber is tested be-
fore it is accepted for the work it is in
tended. 1t is such conscientious effort
to turn out superior work, that has made
his products the leaders wherever intro

markable but considering his business
enterprise it is not to be wondered at as
it is but the legitimate results of trained
business instincts which have found their
proper channel.
