and Elm Place, Conceded
One of the Finest in the
State of Indiana.

Room Is Furnished.

The public reception held in the
factory of the new Richmond Under
wear company on North Tenth street
last evening for the purpose of ac-
quainting the public with the nature.
size, and equipment of the plant was
largely attended. From seven o'clock
to nine a stream of people constantly
poured into the building and were
shown through the various depart
ments
Expert workers were placed at sew
eral of the automatic machines so
that the visitors could see the differ
ent stages in the manufacture of the
underwear, and the utmost interest
was manifested in the work. Every
thing connected with the manufacture
of underwear is done at the factory
from the knitting of the cloth to the
trimming of the finished garments.
The machines used in the various pro-
cesses are entirely automatic and have
individual motors. The work which
they perform seems almost miracu-
lous. They are so intricate and CON-
plex in construction as to be beyond
description by anyone but an expert.
The officers of the company claim
that they are producing the best made,
the best trimmed, and the most per-
feet union suits in the country. They
also declare the factory to be a model
Of its kind.

The building is L shaped, facing LAG

There is dining room for employees

and sugar are furnished free of charge
There are two rest rooms-one on the
second floor and one on the third, con
tanning couches, rockers and ordinary
chairs. In each of these rooms there
is a medicine cabinet containing medi
cal supplies for use in case of accident
| or sickness.
The interior is finished in white
enamel paint, the tables and shelves
in white shellac. There is a sprinkler
system throughout and automatic fire
doors at every opening.

welfare of the employees the factory
