quantities of other supplies. There
has also been installed large amount
of expensive machinery to handle the
flour from the basement, blending,
sitting, weighing, measuring and
tempering all flour and water and
other ingredients in a systematic
way that always ensures uniform
grade of goods. The queen of the
whole outfit is modern oven of the
most sanitary type, with a capacity
of over 5000 loaves daily. This bak-
cry has enjoyed a tremendous bust
ness in the last few months, which
was taken care of while changes were
being made, with very little confusion.
Twelve to fourteen people are employ
ed at good wages. Mr.. Hall, who is
associated with his brother in Wash
ington, is arranging to ship four car
loads of those delicious Washington
apples to Manchester within the next
so days which will be distributed to
the merchants in the surrounding CT
ties. They have just finished selling
carload of fine pears and next year
expect to have at least two cars of
pears and five cars of apples. We
state this not as an advertisement for
Mr.. Hall but to illustrate the fact
that Manchester is one of the best
distributing points in the state, with
splendid railroad facilities, thus max
ing it an ideal industrial center.
Bishop Glove Company
employees two or three operators in the
manufacture of canvas gloves, using
special cutting machine of their
own design which climates all waste.
The next time you buy canvas gloves
try Bishop Gloves, they're good.
d. A. d. Latch Co.
manufactures 1000 dozen Double Act
ing Barn Door Latches yearly and also
many screen door latches. These are
the best latches on the mar
ket today, and those of our citizens
who have never tried them should do
so.
Manchester Cement Products Co.
manufactures 10000 cement blocks
yearly and also puts out large num-
Der of cement stave silos in which a
large trade has been established.
LOvett & Davis Produce Co.
is one of the largest dealers in east
ern Iowa in live and dressed poultry.
They ship 100000 pounds of dressed
poultry yearly, valued at 100000, and
sixty cars or $4,000 crates of eggs
yearly, valued at 100000. About 20
people are employed the year round.
Haug & Son

ture axle shafts, drive shafts, bronze
and babbit bearing, special size cylin-
der rings, wrist pins special machine
bolts engine valves and do special die
and punch work. They give employ
ment to eight men regularly and turn
out as good or better work than any
machine shop in Iowa.
Dairy City Manufacturing Company
manufactures a chicken coop which
is considered one of the best.
National Manufacturing Co.
is an example of properly managed
business, manufacturing articles for
which there is a demand, being locat-
ed at Manchester as a good distrlD-
uting point. Having been in operation
less than year, a remarkable success
has been enjoyed. They manufacture
steel gates, corn cribs, wire and iron
novelties and hardware specialties.
They employ three travelling statesmen
and Is workmen in the factory, which
has present yearly production OF TO-
900 gates and 10000 corn cribs. Their
goods are sold through the central
and western states. They have been
somewhat hampered by the difficulty
all manufacturers have experienced
in obtaining steel but we predict that
even under present conditions that 100
men may be employed within another
year. Plans are even under considera-
ton for greatly charging and rebuild
ing the factory. -.

ped plants in eastern Iowa. They do
