SCORN HARD TINES
ONE WICHITA FIRM BEGINS TO
MAKE GREAT IMPROVEMENTS.
New Building is to be Erected by the Wich-
Will be Filled With the Latest I'm
proved Machinery for the Construction
atus of All kinds-Manager Buckeridge
Goes East to Purchase the Works for
the New Establishment.

a. T. Buckeridge, manager of the
Wichita Pump company left last night
for Chicago and thereby hangs a tale.
The tale is no more and no less than
that the management of the company
is decided that Wichita is the place and
now is the time to enlarge the business
Of the concern. Mr.. Buckeridge will
visit all the large cities of the east and
will purchase the latest improved foun-
dry machinery for the manufacturing
Of iron pumps and all kinds of irriga-
ton apparatus. Then a site will be Sc
lected and a building for the business
will be erected, probably near a rail-
road.
The structure will be a monument to
what Wichita enterprise and pluck can
accomplish in the face of hard times,
discriminative freight rates and strong
competition.
For the last year the stockholders of
the company have been contemplating
charging the concern. Last summer
as an experiment they manufactured
one thousand iron pumps. Heretofore
they had only been making ordinary
wood pumps, but they were so well
pleased with the result Of the trial that
they decided TO make the manufacture
of iron pumps one of the features of
their business.
The company is now occupying four
floors and each is filed to the utmost
capacity. In the rooms at 10 North
Market street all the appliances and
fixtures Of pumps stored.
At 123 North Market is the wooden
pump factory All along the walls of
the first floor are wooden pumps of all
descriptions Up stairs are the wind
mills. Every inch of space in each
building is chock full of pumps and
machinery.
There are already a number of men
employed in the establishment and as
soon as everything is ready a number
more will be given employment. At
present the only large pump works
west of the Mississippi is at Beatrice,
Neb. Excepting this factory, will have
the largest concern of the kind in the
west.
Mr.. A T. Buckeridge, manager of the
concern, has invented and patented
valve seat. 1t is made of aluminium
and will not rust or corrode- The
management think ii is great thing
and can be made very cheap.
There has already been enough
stock taken to justify starting of the
establishment on a larger scale. The
company is composed of A. T. Bucker-
idge. ]. c. Chapple. r. o. Rodolf, II. l..
