The First Chain.

Yesterday the first bicycle chain was
made by the Shepherdstown Specially
Manufacturing Company those
who looked upon the irst output of
our new factory saw that it was good.
General Manager J. c. Hanger will
finish up a number of chains for sam
pies and models, after which the work
of production viii be pushed right
along. All the machinery needed for
the manufacture of bicycle chains Is
now on hand and in position, most OF
it has been tested and fitted with tools,
the material is on hand, and all things
will be ready for permanent running
in a few days more. Mr.. Hanger will
place about twenty-five hands at work
on the various machines, beginning
next week, and when they produce the
various parts perhaps as many more
will be added for other operations.
The outlook for a brisk demand for
the chains is so good that there is every
reason to believe that this force will be
largely increased in the near future.
In this connection it may be observed
that Manager Hanger has complied
with every promise and every state
ment he made to the stockholders of
the company at its inception. More,
he has produced the first chain con-
siderably in advance of the time he
guaranteed, ard has the equipment Of
the mandatory in a condition that
makes it the equal of the best in the
country of its size. We congratulate
our people upon the suspicious begin
ming of the new enterprise.
