To one who is not acquainted with
the extent OF the business II seems a
mystery where all the whips go. one
concern is able TO turn out about 10000
whips In a single day under favorable
conditions. ana II is only one OF many
companies. Westiield Is. OF course the
centre OF the whlp.malsIng industry OF
the world, and there are many horses
In that world. Some OF the local whip
men have studied the automobile ques.
ton TO quite an extent. endeavoring TO
ind out the possible effect upon tho
whip business. Some thought few
years ago that the bicycle was respon.
sible In measure for the dull times In
the whip business. and It may have
had some effect.
AZ that time there was less demand
for livery teams than previously, and
there was consequently little use for
whips. The bicycle Is not 80 much I'm
demand as In former years, but the au.
tomobile and electric cars are taking
It's place. one would suppose the rapid
construction Of electric roads all over
the country would tend to injure the
whip trade. but I'm spite OF automobiles
and electric cars. the output OF whips
continues year after year. One OF the
local whip men said recently that he
had no fear OF bicycles, automobiles or
electric cars running the whip business.
