BARBOURVIlLE
SUPPLY co.

There is no industry in a town
or city of greater value, or of
more Importance, than a well
equipped and managed water, ice
and gas plant. Barbourville can
offer to new settlers one of the
most modern industries of this
kind in the country. Her water
system is one Of the best to be
found in this entire section. The
supply is gotten from deep wells,
and piped into the city, as pure
as any water that could be OBJ
tanned anywhere, while the sup
ply of natural gas is sufficient to
meet the demands of a popula-
tion many times larger than that
of the present Barbourville.
Work is being done at the pres
ent time on other prospects for
additional supply of natural gas,
which vii, warrant the bringing
to this city of other industries.
This gas is of the most superior
quality, and the Regulation Of
the pressure is such as to insure
the patrons the best of service.
The ice is manufactured from
filtered water, and is the best
grade possible to manufacture by
modern machinery. The equip
ment of this plant is one of the
most perfect and modern in the
country.
These three commodies, water,
gas and ice, are supplied the citi-
zens of Barbourville through the
Kennedy interests, Of which Mr..
C. P. Kennedy is manager and
owner. Mr.. Kennedy is a man
of long experience in managing
affairs of this nature, having
had entire charge here for the
past ten years. He is a man
who is equipped to give his pa
irons the very best service at all
times, and at the most reason
able cost. Under his proprietor
ship and management the ser
vice to the citizens of the city
has been eminently satisfactory,
and no man could have done
more toward effecting an efficient
service. The city is to be con-
graduated on the supply and
service now being given by Mr.,
Kennedy. The gas and water
rates are exceedingly reasonable;
more so, in fact, than in a
majority of towns and cities
throughout the country, In the
past ten years in which Mr..
Kennedy has been operating
under a franchise, there has been
no occasion for a complaint from

the streets of large cities and
tour the country in automobiles,
who have the faintest idea that
the spokes and rims in the car in
which they are riding, were
made right here in Barbourville
by T. w. Minton & Son, but it is
true nevertheless, this firm sup
plies a large quantity of them,
more possibly than any other one
firm in the world. Each and
every car has its own size and
style of spokes as well as rims.
The writer of this article was
shown a portion of a made-up-
order of $1,000, 600 club turned
spokes for the Ford car alone.
Auto rims of various sizes and
dimensions were also in great
evidence. But the firm does not
stop with auto parts, such as
mentioned in the foregoing, but
manufactures buggy sha fits,
poles, cross bars, single-trees etc.
They also make a speciality of
golf shafts, ladder rounds, chair
rungs, dowels which are used in
furniture making of various des-
criptions; handles for axes, ham,
mers. farm untensils of every
kind The firm supplied 500, 900
golf shafts to one firm last year,
the largest manufacturers of
goods of this character in the
United States, expects to ship
not less than 500, 600 the coming
season to the same firm.
1t is an immense business, and
one cannot really appreciate its
worth in the community, or what
a factor it is to the outside
world, until a personal visit is
made to the plant. The capacity
of the plant is 10000 feet per
day which to the untutored
means a carload daily, of finish
ed stock or 2,000,00 feet annu-
ally. They employ two expert
inspectors to grade and handle
all stock before shipping.
The firm is composed of three
members of the Minton family:
Mr.. 7. w. Minton. the senior
member and father; Mr.. r. B.
Minton and Miss Nola Minton.
Each one has his and her respec-
tive duties to perform, Miss Min
ton being the head of the buying
and selling department and the
office. The work is upon her
/ shoulders, to find market for the
products and to make collections,
pay off the employees, keep up
the correspondence and look af-
ter all matters pertaining to the
office, and a more competent per-
son could not have been selected
to fill the position. She is busi-
ness throughout, and as ener-
getic and full of the affairs of
the company as any man could

T. VI. MINTON & son.

Barbourvile is a distinctive
to- n, and in many ways stands
liz a class to herself. She has
opportunities and resources that
are not found in all towns and
cities throughout the land. Her
enterprises are among the most
substantial and progressive,
while her citizens are a live,
wide-a-wake people who believe
in the town and her future, and
are ever ready to do all in their
power to promote her welfare.
Among the distinctive and pro.
gressive manufacturing esta b =
lishments in Kentucky, there is
not one that out classes that of
T. w. Minton & Son, of this city
known from coast to coast, and
from the lakes to the gulf for
the superior products in Hickory
putting on the market. Few
people in the country, however,
realize what a business this is
what a factor it is in the manu-
featuring world, and Barbour
vile is exceedingly proud of the
fact that such a plant is operated
and maintained within her linn
its.
This firm manufactures every
thing that can be cut out of a
hickory log, and shipped to all
points in the U. S. and Canada.
1t is one of the most modern and
perfectly equipped factories in
the country. The newest and
most improved machinery known
to the trade is employed in this
vast establishment. Everything
is of the most modern type and
conducted along the most scienti-
fic lines. 1t is like clock work
throughout. The hickory logs
and lumber are bought by the
firm wherever obtainable, but it
may be said that most of them
come from Kentucky, Tennessee
and Virginia. Upon reaching
the plant they are unloaded with
a derrick and prior to being put
under the saw, each and every
log is washed in hCt water.
This is done to dislodge the small
rocks and grit that might be i'm
bedded in the bark, and to soften
the bark so the saws will not dull
SO quietly. These logs are saw.
ed into almost innumerable sizes,
turning out products for every
conceivable use from small dow.
els to buggy poles. A recount
of the various uses to which the
hickory timber is used, will be
necessary in order to give the
reader a true conception of the
Importance of this establishment.

BARBOURWILlE
BRICK & TILE co.

There are few states in the Un-
ion that surpass Kentucky in en-
terprises and resources. She has
always been a factor in the world
of commerce and manufacture.
Go where you may, over her
broad expanse of fertile lands,
and you will find the most SUBJ
stantial and credible industries
hourishing. Situate in the heart
of her mo It productive and valu-
able lands is the city of Barbour
vile, the best, the healthiest and
most desirable place on the map
in which to live. She offers
every inducement that any other
town can offer to those seeking a
home-site, a place at which to
establish a manufacturing busi-
ness, or to operate a remunera-
tive business of whatsoever ma
ture. Among the most prOmi-
nent industries that one will note
about the town, or in eastern
Kentucky, is the Barbourville
Brick and Tile Company; which
was organized in 1905, the fol-
lowing gentlemen composing the
firm: S. b. Dishman, F. B. DISH
man, W. NJ. Dishman and j. A.
McDermott, four of the most en-
terprising and progressive citizens
Of the town. The management
of the affairs of this firm is in
the hands and under the super
vision of Mr.. McDermott, who
is an experienced man in brick
manufacturing. Mr.. McDermOtt
saw and realized the need for
just such a plant in Barbourville,
for he knew it would mean the
saving of many dollars to the
people of the town and commu-
nifty, and with his usual deter
mination and indomitable will he
set about to equip the plant with
thessvery latest and'most improv-
eI machinery in the market for
the manufacture of superior grade
of common building brick. and
the project was received so fa-
vorably at the hands of the citi-
zens Of the town and county, in
particular, that the demand for
the products of this enterprise
has been so great that it has re-
quired the constant operation of
the plant to keep up with the
orders. Not for a single day,
since the fires were first started
in the kiln has the company been
forced to suspend work. This
is remarkable record, showing
conclusively that the quality of
the brick is superior to that OBJ
tainable elsewhere for the same
money.
The gentlemen composing the
firm are naturally gratifed at the
success with which they are meet
! ing and the satisfaction their pro-
ducts are giving. And well they
may be, for no better quality
could be manufactured than the
products of the Barbourville Brick
& Tile Co. The capacity of the
plant is 40, 600 per day, and the
shipments embraces all points on
the l.. 4 N. system east of the
@. & c., including the l.. & E.
l.. & n. railways.
To give the reader an idea OF
the operation of this plant it may
be said that the brick for the
building of the Whitesburg High
School. Hazard High School,
Bryantsville High School, Lancas-
ter High School, Harlan High
School, Williamsburg and Bar
bourville High Schools were sup
piled by this company. The con-
tracts We're not let for any OF
these buildings until other grades
of brick We're inspected, but the
school trustees and officials readi-
ly saw that they could obtain bet
