A BIG THING
FOR BRUNSWICK
-%-
Briesenick- -HenseIl Co. to
do All Work for the
Line
WHAT IT AMOUNTS TO
Work That Has Heretofore Been Done
By New York Machine Shops
Will Hereafter Come to
Brunswick Firm.

A contract that means much IN
brunswick has just been entered into
between the Mallory Line and the
Brlesenick-Hensell Engineering Com
pany, which means thousands of dol.
lars for the latter concern and nra.
sages for 1t the entrance. upon 4 now
era OF development and prosperity
sending it forward by a single bold
step into the ranks of the highest
class engineering plants of the country
and further placing the seal of prac-
ucal recognition upon it's already well
established popularity and well known
efficiency in it's field Of work.
According to the terms of this con,
tract, the Briesenick-I IIensell Engineer.
ing Co, is to manufacture and sunnJv
monthly thousands of pounds of cast,
ings. iron work and otRsnsnaterial
mat will be required by the steam,
ships of the Mallory Line. Only
those familiar with this line Of work
can appreciate the amount involved.
but put in actual figures it repre-
sents an outlay running into thousands
of dollars each month and yearly
amount represents a very handsome
item, one that would mean agreat
deal even to larger plant.
Heretofore this contract has been
given to New York parties, and it is
all the more gratifying for the rea-
son that the contract was secured
here in competition with such par
ties. 1t is believed that this is only
the forerunner of an immense busi-
ness, as the contract will be not only
for the steamers Of the line calling at
Brunswick but will extend to all the
steamers of that line, and there is but
little question that in time similar con.
tracts will be obtainabie with the
Clyde steamers and possibly with
other steamship lines that can be
reached from this territory.
The credit for sending this contract
here belongs largely to Mr. II. H.
Raymond, the superintendent Of the
Mallory line, and he is certinly to be
commended for the support given to
Brunswick industry no less than
that the Briasenick- -Hensell Engineer
ing Co, is entitled to be congratu-
lated as the fortunate recipients OF
Mr.. Raymond's thoughtfullness and
favor, and his justice in sending the
contract here, it being only fair to
state that not only Is there a mutual
advantage to both parties concerned
by such action, but it is in the nature
of a business which should properly
come here in reciprocation of the ben
efits which accrue to the Mallory Line
through this port.
In this lnay be stated
that the afizaton Of the
Briesenick-Hensel Engineering Com.
.pany, an account of which has hereto
fore been reported in these columns,
is progressing Satisfactorily and will
be completed within the next few
days. The new parties who are going
in will be in a position to greatly en-
large the plant and to extend the
business. They are all men of large
means and successful executive abiI-
| Iity. Mr.. Briesenick, who has hereto
fore borne the entire responsibility
of this plant on his own shoulders.
will turn the direct management and
control over to these gentlemen but
will continue to be largely and inti-
mately interested in the property, and
by his valuable knowledge and exper.
ience will contribute largely to the
further development and success Of
the new concern. At the same time
he will be in a position to greatly in
icrease the capacity and extent OF the
lsupply business in which he has been
interested and to which he will de-
vote more time than he has been able
to do in the past. This business, as
formerly, will be operated closely in
conjunction with the engineering part
of the business, and will assure TO
Brunswick magnificent house In this
lime and contribute considerably to
Brunswicks future progress and pros,
lperity, (.
