Negotiations have been in progress
for some time between w. ID. Ballou
and the Belding-Hall Mfg Co., for
the purchase of the two red ware
houses which were formerly the old
refrigerator factory.
The business of the Ballou Basket
works has out grown the capacity of
the buildings in which it begun opera
tions here twelve years ago and for
some time Mr.. Ballou has been very
much inconvenienced and pressed for
room in which to turn out work in a
manner he would like to do. The deal
was completed last week and the
property which is valuable and just
what was needed has been transferred
to him.
The canvas coal basket machinery
will be moved into the larger building
and that branch of the industry will
be enlarged and carried on there
while the other will be used for stor-
age room. The shipment of baskets
from the factory Is very large and
Mr.. Ballou has been obliged to turn
down many orders being unable to fill
them. The coal strike is effecting
the canvas coal bag at present very
materially.
