err Devoting Facilities
to Army Needs.

One need not wonder a great deal
why the South Bend boys in the
army failed to get real homesick
when they stop to consider the
homelike surrounding and that the
majority OF their uniforms and
blankets were products of the South
Bend Wooden company. During the
past year and a half the entire time
OF the mill was devoted TO war work.
The plant had contracts with all
branches Of the service. The army.
navy and marine corps and aided
greatly in supplying the demands Of
uniform material and blankets.
Like all modern manufacturers
the South Bend Wooden company
has readjusted itself to a pre-war
basis and IS running full time pro-
ducing material for mems wear. And
from statements made by the man.
agement the mill is preparing for a
very prosperous year. The yearly
output Of the mill amounts 20 a mill
lion and a half dollars. The COM
pany is capitalized at 100000. over
$50 women and about the same
number OF men are employed in
making fancy cashmeres, woolens,
fine indigo and cadet cloths.
The plant is under the direction
OF Francis Hoye. Mr.. Hoye came 20
South Bend a year ago from Provi-
dence. r. l., where he was Interested
in the same line OF business. Mr..
Hoye spoke very highly OF South
Bends manufacturing facilities and
said that there is no reason why
South Bend should not be a city OF
100000 population. Following are

The MalleabIe Steel Range Mfg

BY Jacob Woolverton and william
l. Kizer at which time a very small
plant suftced for the needs OF its
business The founders however.
were progressive men. and soon the
output OF ranges became so large
that they were forced 10 enlarge the
plant.
When the proposition OF enlarging
the plant was brought UP, there
were many consultations held as to
proposed plans. After much deli
beration the directors came to the
conclusion that a modern factory
was needed. one that would take
care OF the big business that was on
hand at that time and also be able
10 meet the big demand for their
products which they felt confident
would continue TO increase with
time.
Their predictions came true. The
plant was enlarged in 1906. a plant
that they were proud Of It was
built OF brick and steel, and rein-
forced with concrete. making their
huge plant absolutely 1ire-prOof
throughout Inside the plant there
were III. 900 square feet OF floor
space devoted to the manufacture
of their products. which include a
complete line OF hotel and family
ranges, coal and wood ranges and
also some gas ranges. Two years
were spent in completing the now
plant which IS the largest fireproof
exclusive range factory in the world.
In addition TO the ranges they also
manufacture broilers. bakers ovens
urns, steam and carving tables.

The factory now covers eight ac~o-

tracks, and by washington and
Cherry streets. A private siding Of
the New York Central runs directly

large enough TO handle six carloads
OF freight at one time.
Shortly after the war broke out,

throughout the country were asked
TO submit patterns OF field ranges
which were to be used in the United
States and France wherever a per
manent cantonment was maintained.
The pattern submitted by the Nal
leable steel Range Co, was accepted
and they Immediately turned all
their attention to the manufacturing
Of these ranges. The government
took them as fast as they could be
manufactured, most Of them being
sent TO the American expeditionary
forces which were then in France.
The ranges now manufactured
are shipped to all parts of the world.
but chiefly TO Canada. Large num-
bers of orders are constantly pour
ing in from the Orient where the
Chinese and Japanese found instant
favor with the first few models sent
across the Pacific. They have also
filled one order which was received
from Cairo, Egypt.
In the spacious plant which they
now occupy there is a department
separate from the rest where they
are enabled TO do all their own
nickel plating.
Out $4,000 a Year.
At present the output of ranges
amounts to $4,000 a year which gives
an idea OF the MAGNITUDE of the
work accomplished at their plant.
There are 200 men constantly en-
ployed in the factory and during the
exhibit season. 30 more men are ad-
ded TO the payroll. Warehouses are

After 40 years spent in building
sprinklers and wagons, during which
time the plant has grown from
struggling little blacksmith shop 10
a factory turning out thousands of
wagons a year. the Winkler- Grimm
corporation has branched into the
toy business, with the intention of
eventually devOting their entire en-
ergies TO the manufacture Of play
things.
The corporation started in 1877
as a little blacksmith shop at
Truths corners several miles north
east Of South Bend. Repair work.
horseshoing and similar work was
done in the little shop by a few
men, and two years later the organ
ization moved to South Bend, where

sale av. The firm then became
known as Winkler Brothers. Short
ly after this, Lenhardt Winkler, one
Of the brothers, conceived the idea
OF a street sprinkling wagon, and
soon obtained a patent on his idea.
The concern began the manu-
meeting with considerable success.
In 1899, however, the Studebaker
corporation bought the rights to the
sprinkler, which became famous
under the Studebaker standard.
Winkler Brothers then devoted all
their time to the building of wagons.
Outgrow Old Plant.
Several additions were made to
the plant on Z. Iasalle av., but fina-
" the business outgrew the build
ings there, and I'm 19O4-O5 a new
plant was erected at the head OF
Linden av. The concern moved in
10 its new home in November of
1905, and once more began TO grow.
In 1916, the toy business was
taken up. 1t was started originally
merely as a slde-line, TO utilize the
scrap wood occasiOned by the cut
ting Of lumber The toy business,
however, soon proved itself worthy
OF more than second-rate attention.
and a real toy department was in
augurated.
In 1917. at the outbreak OF the
war, about nine months after the
first toys had been put on the mar
ket, untitled orders on hand amount
ed 10 something like $4,000. With
the coming of the war. however. the
plant. still equipped for the manu-
faCture Of wagons. was turned over
to government work exclusively, and
the toy business was dropped. Now.

 URGED FUR SCHOOLS

He suggested a committee having representative of labor organizations, of employers or business mems organizations, and Of the school officials.

 Started Huge Range Industry
 Major Drumm went from California to Texas and Arizona and continued in the same industry, his experiences being varied and including hardships, such as made up the life Of a plains man in those pioneer days. He also extended his cattle operations to Okla homa, being the first man to turn 6 herd of cattle loose in the Cherokee strip. In iG33 Major Drumm, with a number of friends, fenced in almost a million acres in the Cherokee strip.
 The pioneer cattleman was one of the first of the Old-timers to advo- ,.- h-t+o- .-1dae oe cattle and no small amount of credit is due him for the progress made in that direction,
 A few years ago Major Drumm prar- nl.2eel1 272-acre farm z0atheast U Kansas City which, according ta an announcement made at the time was to become country home for parent less and friendless boys. By the terms of the will, practically all of the wealth of this pioneer cattleman is left to carry out his purpose of aiding friend less boys.
 When are you going to retire?' Major Drumm was asked on his s9th birthday.
 Not while I'm alive" he answered with a whimsical grin.

Another step toward giving PhoenlX a better and almost metropolitan taxi cab service was taken yesterday, when Eddie Doyle added to lis motor livery equipment two Dodge Brothers taxi cabs-regular taxis with all the appur- tenances. The cars were purchased from McArthur Brothers of this city and were delivered ready for Use yes terday.

They are the identical model of Dodge taXicab as now being operated in New York by the Black and White Taxi company, which has 1900 of them in the metropolis alone
 Mr. Doyle considered the addition of two regular taxis to his livery service more than justifiable in view of the business in the taxi line here. Hereto fore the business has been taken care of by ordinary livery cars, but now Phoenicians may ride in a real city tax icab when they have occasion to hire a car.

A 7O-cent want ad in a copy of The Republican, accidentally picked up in a Texas town, was the means of consum- mating S2O,0OO real estate deal in this city.
 Dr. Jones of Brownsville, Texas, on the Mexican, border, was the man who carelsssly picked up the newspaper in that town and, looking through the classified section, saw an item that in- terested him. It was an advertisement of a Phoenix real estate concern.
 Cutting out the little want ad, the doctor mailed it to the firm, Ruggles X Company. Correspondence followed and finally resulted in the closing of a deal for tract of land near this city for the consideration of S20,000. thus scoring another for the efficient little want ads of The Republican.
