That keen, shrewd business qualities IN
the men NJ the helm are essential TO the
success OF any business enterprise, no
matter whether IL be large or small. can
find no more striking or better Illustration
than in the case OF the Queen Dyeing Go.
With this branch we'll and capably covered
by old apd long established concerns the
i~nceptors OF this great firm severed iu-
crative ties and launched heir bark upon
the sea OF business trials. Started In
1892 just ON the eve OF a tremendous panic
IN the finapcial matters OF the country the
firm at nee became prominent. The
extensive plant at the corner of Atweiis
ave. and Valley ST., formerly occupied by
the Richmond Print Work, WAS purchased,
remodeled and Improved by the introduc-
tion Of the latest styles Of modern ma
chinory. This building Is $50 II. long
by 200 II. wide and three stoi les high.
4 heir product IL without q superior GU
the market, and every quarter OF the
globe Is called upon TO pay liberal tribute
TO the excellence OF their goods. These
works are turning out at the present
time about 100, 600 yards a day OF tbs finest
goods that IL Is possible to find anywhere.
A marked and distinguished feature OF
this firms able management Is their con-
sideration for the Wei being and bappi-
ness OF their employees. They have alw avs
made IL a business to give their employees
q full halt holiday on Saturday, bel leving
from TIER experience that such action On
their part is conducive TO good work on the
part OF their employees and more careful
attention to their work. The management
OF this magnificent ana valuable tn Siness
Is vested in Mr. ". Penn Mather, pres.
Albert Horton, treas. and Mr.. Il. j. Hor-
ton, tee. Each OF these gentlemen had
careful preliminary training, followed
by years Of practical experience which
has emenientiy lifted them for the Gus
duties which they are now constantly
called upon TO discharge. Mr.. Msther
was formerly a member OF the celebrated
firm OF Mather u Platt, the largest manu-
facturers OF machinery in the world. 1t
was this firm that achieved such a uni
versal reputation some years ago by the
putting In of the famCu, Underground
Tramwsy in London, Eng, after others
had declared against It's practice bility.
Ibis piece OF work stands even now as
one OF the greatest masterpieces OF scien-
tine engineering ever accomplished. MIR.
Msther was for many years connected with
the. British government, anc while In their
employ In lnols played an important part
in the opening and development CT his
now famous Wardah Valley coal fields.
Albert Horton Is without a peer In the
fabric world and what he doesn't know
about the business II Is safe TO assume
tnst his firm Stands In no immediate dan
ger Oh any rival concern gettlng the start
of him on that account. lie was formerly
interested in tie Dunnell NJ fg. &c. Of
Pawtucket, with whom he was associated
FOR Al yeas, q large portion of which
time was as supt. ana mgr. OF those ex-
teIslve works. There is no department
of the business that he does not thor
oughly understand, AID nothing escapes
his sharp piercing eye. lie Is one OF
those thoroughly good aatured, energetic
men, who can attend TO many things at
once, without any apparent trouble 10
himself or detriment 10 the matters I'M
der consideration. Although usually up
TO his ears with business cares be always
has a hearty welcome for everyone, n
his cordIslity Is such that friendship Is
accorded him without further ceremony
or celay. liz Is in this wonderful faculty
that in a great measure lies his immense
prestige among business men. The sec,
Mr.. b. j. Horton, also acquired an ex-
baustive comprehension OF The business
through many years Of experience with
the Dunnell Mfg Co., and makes a most
valuable assistant IN the management of
the affairs OF this concern. Probably no
better econium upon the sterli ig sbil
ity, integrity qualities possessed by
the Messrs. Horton can be given than TO
mention that the Queen Dyeing Co., IN It's
different departments, has no less than
five III beers OF tie Horton family in
charge. Nor is IL out Of place 10 ada
that each mem ter Is perfectly competent
tor the faithful and intelligent discharge
of the duties incumbent upon him and
does not tino fsvoritism necessary TO re-
taiA the eXacting position.
