Brief Sketch of the Rapid Growth Of this
Important Businesses

Monday, Sept. /, 1902, was tho third
anniversary Of the incorporation of the
company owning and operating the man
uiacluring plant in this city known as
the Sequacbce Handle Works. Since
the time when ground was first broken
for the plant, mentioned in the News of
Aug. TO- 1899 as to oc' ur on the Monday
following, Aug. II, many additions and
improvements have been made to the
plant, till now it is as important an en-
terprise'ss any in the Valley, paying
out large sum Of money every month
for wages and timber, and having many
families dependant on it for livel-
hood.
The first building erected in 1899 was
the present main build ng, '4Oxl2O feet,
in dimensions, and power house, 20x30
Since that time there have been vari-
ously erected dry hous", 1Sx22; bill

fee, 30xtO0, and just now a whtfie-tree
factory, 30x50, is being erected All
the buildings are substantially con
structed, rooted and sheeted with iron
and as nearly fire proof as possible.
The machinery is of the newest and
best patterns, embracing all the latest
mprovements, no expense being spared
In its equipment The factory stands
to-day as leading industry Of the Val
ley and one of the most prominent en-
terprises of this section, In compari-
son with other factories of like charact-
ter and importance it is not excelled by
any in completeness and perfection Of
appointments
The power is furnished by an so
horse power engine with SO-horso power
boiler, but even this power is taxed to
run the machinery in daily use, A
