ence with the development of Muscle
Shoals were foreseen many years ago,
when DR. AID. Bellamy organized the
Florence Wagon company and located
at Florence. The aboundant supply of
choice material for wagon building
growing on the adjacent hills, the ship
ping facilities the nearness to the
southern market all were factors in the
decision of the stockholders in the
company when choosing a location for
their plant
That the anticipations of the found
ers have been fully justified in Flor
ence is evidenced by the fact that from
small factory completed in 1889 with
a capacity of about 10 wagons per day,
the Florence Wagon company today has
grown to such proportions that five
acres of ground under one roof is nee
essary to house it. The capacity has
been increased by four times, and the
output is now 1900 per year. An aver
age of 200 men are employed through
out the year and about $4,000 of raw
material is consumed annually.
Since \ beginning operations, the
Florence Wagon company has made
more than 100000 wagons; paid in sal
aries and wages more than 100000;
consumed approximately 100000 600 feet
of lumber and 55,OOO,O00 pounds of iron.
About 9 per cent of the money spent
for materials has been used in the
south, as practically all this material is
purchased within a 100-mile radius of
the plant.
The high quality of the Florence"
wagon has been proved not only by the
growth of the factory, but by the fact
thu ciIVar medal
at the South Carolina Interstate and
West Indian exposition, held at Charles
ton in 1901-2 in 1907-8 it was given
the first premium by the Alabama Agri-
cultural fair at Montgomery and 1t
was awarded diploma for the best
farm and delivery wagon at the Ala
bama State Fair in Birmingham in 1903.
The Florence" has been awarded q
number of blue ribbons at smaller fairs.
This factory has passed through the
panics of 1893 and 1907 and is now
operating at full capacity, notwith-
standing the business depression of the
early part of the year incident to the
war.
Most of the skilled mechanics en-
ployed by the company have been in
it's employ more than a quarter Of q
century. They are we'll paid and content.
They are home builders-worth while
citizens-and most Of them own their
own homes in Florence. The employees
of the company have not gone out on
strike in it's history.
Five statesmen cover the southern
states for the Florence Wagon COM
pany. The Florence wagon is sold from
the Atlantic seaboard to western Tex
as; from the Mason and Dixon line on
the north to the Gulf Of Mexico. Many
of the wagons have found their way
into Mexico, Cuba and Porto Rico
Everywhere they have gone they have
given complete satisfaction, and the or
