The thrift and progress of the firm
Of Kenfeld- -Lamoreaux company of
this city is about to be shown again
through the branching out of that
concern. Announcement is now Civ
en- out by the officers of the company
in this city to the effect that arrange
ments have about been completed
for the building of new and modern
box and Grating factory at Bemidge,
MINI. and as soon as few of the
minor details have been completed
the construction of the plant will be
begun. A new corporation will be
formed, capitalized at from $4,000
to 500, 900 with M, S. Lamoreaux
of Chicago, as president. The name
of the new concern will likely be the
Bemidge Box company, but the
name has not as yet been definitely
decided upon.
The new plant will be as nearly
fireproof as it is possible to build it.
The foundation and first floor will be
built of concrete and the upper floor
and roof will be of steel. Only the
latest improved machinery will be in
stalled and the entire plant will be
run by electricity, there being individ-
ual mot $ for each machine. The
power will be supplied by the city OF
Bemidge. s
The ground for the plant was do
mated by the people of the city OF
Bemidge who were anxious to have
this concern locate there. The capa-
city of the new institution will be a.
bout the size of the Washburn plant
but the building will be SO constructed
that additions can be added as busi-
ness warrants.
Messrs. Kenfeld and Lamoreaux
of this city and M. S. Lamoreaux Of
Chicago, left this week for EauClaire,
Minneapolis and other places where
they will inspect other electrical
plants. They announce that the
construction of the new plant will be
started in about six weeks.
We are also advised to state that
the institution in this city will run the
same as in the past and it is altogeth-
er likely that the size of the place
will be increased in the course OF the
next year, or SO. Arrangements have
been made with the railroad COM
panies whereby box material for the
Washburn institution can be, shipped
from long distances which insures
long lease of life for the plant here.
This company started in business
in this city a number of years ago,
starting in small way and the growth
of their business has been phenom-
inal. Today they own and operate
the plant in this city and the one at
4
| Cass Lake MINI. besides handling
the output of several other concerns.
All of the members of the firm are
hustlers and we are glad TO note their
success in their business. May the
firm grow.
