North Yakima is deseFvedly known for
the push and enterprise Of lis citizens,
and the people realize that where dollar
can be kept at home instead Of being sent
abroad that just 50 much Is gained to-
wards the prosperity Of this section. Ei-
forts have been made TO induce the loca-
ton Of factories here BY the offer Of \
bonus. bot We have now in our city an
industry that 10 fast making strides
towards prominence as q factor Of our
Importance, and one that has neither
asked for nor received any Subsidy.
THE HERALD refers to Michael Schorn's
carriage factory, which has become a
veritable hive Of industry and Is filled
with orders. Mr.. Schorn Is . practical
carriage builder, and has had much ex.
perience in the various departments Of
the business, both In the east and west,
and knows full well the weak points Of
the eastern.made vehicles that are turned
out for the western trade, and these de-
let's he has overcome In his own work.
As is well known, his factory Is situ-
ated on the corner Of Chestnut and Front
streets. The main building Is 4Oxs0 feet,
but Mr.. Schorn already realizes that he
Is limited for room, and is figuring on an
early enlargement Of his quarters. This
building is divided into three compart-
ments for repairing and turning, burning,
and finishing. In the rear 81 this Is an
other building lSx4S feet and two stories
in height, which is dust proof and de-
voted to painting and vanishing. Il
was only last winter that Mr. Schorn
turned out his first buggy, but 1t was the
stepping stone to success, as It was gen
orally ACKNOWLEDGED to be better built AMI
stronger than those Of eastern make, while
the finishing compared very favurably
With those from the older fac
tories. Since then Mr.. Schorn has
been drluged with orders, and has
turned out ten or 4 dozen vehicles Of
varied patterns that have given the best
Of satisfaction in every respect, including
style, workmanship and finish. His last
piece Of NOrk-a light and strong buggy
for Contractor Schmidt-is perfect IN pat
tern and in every way 4 credit to Il .
maker Mr.. SchoTn has secured tie
riEbts for many Of the best patents, and
in this way Is able to add the most APP
proved improvements to the product Of
his skill. He has patterns for all styLS
Of wagons, bugEies and carriages, and Is
equipped TO please any taste.
There are several reasons why Mr..
ScbOrn's work should be superior to that
shipped in here. He uses only second-
growth timber and Norway wrought iron,
here the latter answers the purpose bet
ter than the refined American iron; and
the wood work put together here stands
the raVages Of climate much better than
when joined where the conditions are
different. file uses only the SaTven
wheel, Which has proveh to be the best
for the Yakima climate and roads, and
which is generally coming TO be recoE-
nizpd as superior to all Others. None Of
his material is Of inferior grade, such 20
some manufacturers use and cover over
with n glossy covering Of varnish. but
everything is Of the best, and Mr.. SchOrn
guarantees his work as represented. In
the way Of finishing, patrons can take
their choice and have the natural wood
