The Shirt Factory.

The Shirt Factory began operation in
Middletown nearly five years ago. and since
that time until the present, it has been the
chief industry of the town, giving steady
employment to nearly 100 persons, and
paying an annual wage rate of $25, 900, or
nearly $500 per week. The building and
the grounds are owned by the Middletown
improvement Company, representing about
12O stock holders who leased it to Young
Smith, Field e. Co., of Philadelphia, for
FIVE years. This factory has an establish
ed reputation of having the most skilled
operators. both women and men, and turn
ing out the best work of any plant under
the management of this Company.
A iumor has been in circulation that the
factory was to be closed, or that the present
operators were togive it up. which occasioned
considerable unrest in the minds and homes
of those in the community most closely
connected with the enterprise. The posi-
sibility Of losing the factory has given our
citizens keener realization of its value,
one gentleman saying, Take the shirt
factory away and you may as we'll plow up,
the town." Mr.. Fred H. Burgess. the city
manager, called at this office ON Thursday
70 say that II was a mistake; there is no in
tention Of closing the factory, though a
change Of plans in running it may take
place about Nov. when the present lease
expires. Young, Smith, Field & Co. lost
heavily, though not enough to embarrass
them, by the embezzlements Of Theodore
Graham and the firm has been: taking an ae-
count of stock and adjusting its loss.
Business has been little dull at the fac
tory here but Mr. Burgess brought an order
on Thursday for over 1900 dozen shirts to be
| made by July 1st which will keep the full
force at work up to that time. The pro-
perty owners of the town cannot afford to
have the factory closed, nor will they al
low it to close. A little scare as to the loss
of the one may agitate the question of Q
second-one to put the men to work.
