In the spring Mr.. Rockefeller
mingled much with the workmen on
his estate. and on one of his tours, so
the story goes, he met an old lrishman,
who he thought was one OF MS pen
sioners. He stopped the Old FELLOW
as he was carrying a large drain pipe,
much too heavy for his strength.
"Why, Patrick" said Mr.. Rockefeller,
81 thought I asked you to rest. Is
your health good?"
ayes, Mr. Rockefeller, it is very
good"
as your appetite good"
"Yes," quickly replied Patrick again
"And, by the way" said Mr.. Rookie
Teller, "do you sleep well -
Eyes" said Patrick, with much sur
prise.
"Thcn, my good man, why don't you
take life easy as you can enjoy II
. since your health is good, your appe-
tite is good and you sleep we'll ~
Patrick exclaimed, 81 would do it, sir,
only / don't want anybody taking my
Job here"
The village of Tsrrytown is so well
occupied with an attractive trade or
shopping centre and country estates
that il need never fear of an industrial
invasion that will lessen the value of
/ these realty assets.
But in North Tarrytown there is
room for the erection Of number of
large factories, and those factories Will
not hurt the residential growth OF
either village.
At frequent periods in their history
the villages have looked most promis-
/ ing to heads Of industrial concerns
seeking large sites. About fifteen
years ago Hall e. Clark. who founded
| the vigorous town Of GAINESVILLE, on
Lake Geneva, wanted to build a number
of cotton mills about the station at
J Tarrytown. They planned to have one
mill 25x100 feet and the other twice
/ that size. But sentiment in favor Of
the establishment of those mills could
not be aroused, and as a result larry
town lost the industrial strength that
is now part and parcel of Clarksville.
At Tarrytown years ago were extern
sive brick yards. but the brick industry
disappeared when the clay banks be-
came non-productive. In Josephine ST..
west Of the railroad track, Samuel and
William Wood had brickyard which
employed about $50 men. Charles
/ Smiths brickyard on the site Of the old
Rand Drill structure employed about
the same number of men. At the end of
Main ST., about thrty-five years ago
stood the famous Woodward's Pump
Factory. II gave employment through
out the year TO about $50 people. When
it moved away the town sustained one
of its first heavy industrial losses.
Then there was a silk factory which
was in operation about forty-five years
ago; il was known az the Lovett Silk
Company's plant, and occupied build
ings at the mill pond, between Broad
way and Pocantico ST. About the same
period mechanic shears were manufact'
ured in Tarrytown by Charles Brum-
hacker.
The old Maxwell Briscoe plant prop
erty was owned years ago by Ambrose
Kingsand. Mr.. Kingsland was an ar
dent lover Of yachting and was a good
sailor. He owned large seagoing yes
sci which he chrIstencd the Alarm. II
made frequent trips from kingsland
point TO Atlantic and European ports
Many of his famous yachts found an
Z choraRe Off the point, and were famil-
lar sights TO nayiga'ors on the Hudson
Mr.. kingsland also owned the big
Kingsland line OF steamboats, which
piled between the port OF New York
and European ports. He built on the
Point n spacious home for himself and
family. His sons were named Harry
George. Albert, Walter and Ambrose,
/ Village chroniclcrs say that about
eighteen years ago. when the Kings
land estate Disposed Of their property
~ Kingsland Point, some members OF
! Tho family were horriled TO learn that
