The button factory, started here a
few months ago, by Geo A. Lippincott.
OF Philadelphia, has proven so sue
cessful that Mr.. Lippincott has decid-
ed to add more machinery At present
about twenty men and boys are en-
ployed, but it is the desire of the con-
Germ to increase the number of cut
ting machines so that finishing ma
chimes may be installed to be Oper-
ated by women. Mr.. LippincOtt would
like to make this his most efficient
plant and would erect a large factory
building here and employ several
hundred men and women. He wants
people that will work steadily. 1t costs
money TO learn operators, and it is
his rule that after a man becomes
efficient and leaves his employ that
man will never be taken on again
This factory came here unsolicited
and without aid of any kind from the
business people of the town. 1t seems
to the writer that the merchants and
others interested in the welfare of the
community should stir themselves to
secure all the labor that Mr.. Lippin-
colt needs.
