FROST VENEER SEATING co.
A Branch of One of the Largest Veneer
Factories in the World.

FacuOrles IA the WV
The Frost Veneer Seating Co., has its
factory in Batesville, but Batesville is sub
erb to Newport and although the mill is not
within the village limits it is practically a
Newport institution and Newport reaps all
the financial benefits to be derived from its
existence, which means that this company
employs usually about 20 operatives to whom
they pay monthly wages amounting to about
$4,000. The concern occupies very large
factory building upon the banks of the lake,
where in the process of manufacturing rail-
road and depot seatings. settees, car ceilings,
chairs, char seats and all kinds of veneer
goods, they cut up about 1000 feet of logs
daily. About half million feet of birch
logs are brought over the Quebec Central
Railway and about $4,000 feet drawn by
local farmers each year. Every conceivable
article that can be made from veneer Is
turned out here, and the woods used are as
varied as the uses to which the veneer is put.
including birch, which is the most generally
used. birds-eye maple. blister maple, curly
maple, elm, bass wood, white wood, quar-
tered oak rotary oak, mahogany and bay
wood. Our limited space Will not permit OF
giving minute description of the workings of
the factory-that was creditably done in the
Express and Standard of Feb. 20, "a. We
present this sketch merely for the purpose of
shuwing the company's valuable influence
upon the commercial interests of Newport,
which influence the people heartily appreciate.
It is one of the largest concerns of the char
acter in the world. having factories at New
York and Sheboygan, Wis. and Cutting
Mills in Wisconsin at Amigo, Elcho and Elm
hurst. The superintendent in charge of the
factory here, Mr.. +. l.. Tracy, has been in
the employ of the firm since the present flrm
purchased the property eight years ago. and
has climbed from bookkeeper to his present
position where he has full charge of the entire
business of the mill. He was born in Enos-
burgh, ami from the beginning of his business
career has been known an enthusiastic,
energetic and reliable business hustler, dis
playing special pride in maintaining a
strictly upright and yet liberal policy towards
