! Another industry in Seville is the
Union Chain & Mig. Co., whose pro-
ducts are distributed from New York
to Seattle, and from st. John to Van
couver in Canada, as we'll as in other
foreign countries. The company's
telephone number is 80, which was
chosen for the reason that, about six
years ago, they began business on a
little old 80 cents, as the saying is
sometimes heard. However, being
. controlled by a board of directors who
, never know the meaning Of the word
'fail'', and after overcoming obstacles
, that grind the heart in the sand the
: business has shown healthy growth,
, with assets at the present time closely
i approaching the 100000 mark, and
, an AL credit rating.
The principal product is sprocket
= chain, which is used in practically
every line Of industry for transmit
+ ting power, elevating and conveying
;, materials, etc. About thirty different
;. sizes and types Of chains are included
;. in their standard line, and occasion
i ally an order is accepted for special
n chain. One such chain now being
:, made is to have safe load capacity
: of $4,000 pounds, the particular pur-
o pose for which it is intended being
q the movement of a train of cars
t through tunnel kiln, the weight Of
the train being 400 tons. Another
large chain in course of construction
=, is for escalators (traveling stairs as
= in the May Co.'S store0
= Another product, the manufacture
and sale of which is now beginning tt
assume large proportions, is sprocke
y wheels, on which the chains operate
- Most of these have the teeth cas-
- from accurate patterns, but larg
number have the teeth cut in mach
. inc, like the cut-tooth gears in con
q nection with the high grade driv
Il chains for power transmission a
high speeds, and the advantage O.
= cut teeth over cast teeth is in the re
=, v duction of noise and the producing o
y" a smoother running chain.
The company is liberal in the treat
:, ment of it's employees, every one o
e e whom is placed strictly on his honor
Il no time clock or other evidence o
slavery methods being visible. A so
y hour week was recently inaugurate'
Il with pay checks equalling or exceed
Il ing the wages formerly paid for long
er hours. All questions affecting tn
IL conditions of labor are left with tn
. employees for decision, with the in
- evitable result that the highest manu-
7 featuring efficiency is accomplished
