in covering the couches and divans
was fascinating to the writer. Here
were $50 patterns in velours. Plain
effects with embossed work. A large
line of plain colers, stripes and ribs
we're shown us, as well as the higher
grades of woven raised figured effects.
The firm also use Fabrikoid and Pan
tasote and genuine leather on lounges
when ordered. Also French silk plush
in plain and figured goods is brought
into use as desired. A study of this
department convinced the writer he
was not cut out for Mr. Peppers job,
while Mr. Pepper thought he might
not succeed as newspaper man.
In the wood construction the finely
quartered oak and mahogany are used
largely. Also the cross-band veneered
work, something tasty and nice, white
carved designs are brought into use.
All the goods are nicely finished, the
higher grades being polished to de-
gree approaching perfection.
A look about the factory by the aid
of a pen picture will be interesting as
we pause a moment for breath. The
main factory is of brick and four
stories high. The first floor is devoted
to the wood working machinery used
in turning out the frames. The second
floor is partly devoted to the packing
and shipping department., and the re-
mainder to cabinent work. The third
floor is set apart entirely to the up
holstery work. The fourth floor is de-
voted to the storing of the manufac-
tured and finished frames. In an ad-
dition built on to the north end of the
factory is large and pleasant Office,
while overhead is room set apart as
photograph gallery, where pictures
of the new designs are taken. AS
showing the strong hold the firm has
taken on the trade it may be said the
firm has as its patrons large number

A PROSPEROUS CONCERN.

PROSPEROUS CONCERN.
Among the manufacturing concerns
which have given New Milford fav-
orable name in the business life of
Uncle Sans domain, at least in the
channel it enters, particularly in the
middle west and eastern sections, is
the Eastern Lounge CO. of this town.
This company began business IA years
ago, it being originated in the fertile
brain of D. w. Pepper, wide awake
and aggressive man Of business. With
the late William Schoverling, a con-
sentative but far sighted business man,
Mr. Pepper set about to put the bust
ness on a firm basis, feeling confident
that in entering the lounge business,
he would make success if hard work.
first class goods and originality of de-
sign amounted to anything, and he did
not calculate in vain. The firm began
business in modest way in the brick
block owned by Mr. Schoverling oppo-
site the First National bank building.
The firm prospered and eight years
ago large brick factory was erected
on West street. which has been en-
larged till to-day the plant covers
fully three-quarters Of an acre.
The secret of the success Of the
The Newtown bee. (Newtown, Conn.) 1877-current, 1902-07-04

concern from the start has been the
fact that there was stirring PERSONAL
ity in the management. Mr. Pepper
was fortunate in having knacK as a
designer and In the lounge business he
has had chance to display his talent
with good effect. He was pioneer in
the wire construction in touches for
attaching the springs in place as a
substitute for cords. The innovation
was great success, so much SO that
to-day every factory in the country has
followed along these lines.
Mr. Pepper was practically the orig
inator of the adjustable couch bust
ness, line which has been extremely
popular in the furniture trade from the
first. At a recent furniture exhibit
tion in New York Mr. Pepper was
gratified to have one of the largest
manufacturers of lounges in the coun-
try say to him: "We will have to take
our hats off to you in the adjusta BILE
work. You are the father of that all
right
Mr. Peppers latest hit has been an
adjustable divan, especially popular
with the trade which supplies fine city
fats and apartment houses. These
divans have adjustable arms and backs
and are capable of being changed into
seven different positions. The firm
makes speciality of all kinds of order
ed work, and has turned out some very
beautiful and handsome pieces. 1t is
an interesting fact that the business
of the firm has increased year by year,
| and the last has been the best. This
is owing to the fact that as a salesman
and designer Mr. Pepper has few
equals.

of those who purchased goods of them

Every couch sent out is warranted for

is made SO.
The semi-annual exposi tion is a
big thing for the furniture trade, and
the Eastern Lounge Co. is favorably
known there. On July IA the exposition
opens in New York and Mr. Pepper ex-
poets to be there with 100 or more fine
couches, with new and fetching de-
signs that are found to please the
merchants. At this exposition the
company often receives enough orders
to last four months and it is probable
this year will be no exception. Two
exposition are held year, in January
and July.

TO IMPROVE BASS FISHING AT LAKE
WARAMAUG.
Through the public spirit and mu-
niAcence of New York gentleman,
J. T. Blakeslee, who has a summer
cottage at Lake Waramaug, there has
been inaugurated movement for the
betterment Of the bass fishing in Lake
Waramaug for which every citizen
and lover of the sport in this section
will heartily applaud him. 1t is no
mole nor less than the establishment
of a fish hatchery, the initial expenses
of which will be $4,000 and more. Mr.
Blakeslee has secured the cooperation
of H. W. Beeman, an intelligent and
energetic gentleman, who for years has
been interested in improving the tlsh-
ing in the Lake. Mr. Beeman owns the
land on which the hatchery is to be
established and it is being built under
his direction. A series of small ponds
will be built. The first will be 275
feet long by 100 feet wide, and there
will be smaller ponds 20 feet by 100
and $50 feet. A six inch pipe will con-
duct the water direct from Lake
Waramaug to the small ponds, the
pipe extending 200 feet into the lake.
Fred Ohmen and Charles Buher are
now engaged in the masan work for
the first pond and the iron pipe is al
ready on the ground. The rearing of
bass artihcially is yet in its infancy,
little having been done throughout
the country. Mr. Beeman has spent
much time in corresponding with lead.
ing fish experts and in studing the
question from every side. Lake Wara'
maug is regarded by experts as one Of
the best bodies of water in the coun'
try for bass, and the success of the
new venture is practically assured.
Last fall H. w. Beeman put about
1000 young bass into Lake Waramaue
which were secured from, other lake!
in the state.
