CLOSE ROCHESTER PLANT

Up Camera Factory There


Up Camera Factory There
Rochester Post and Record-The
Conley Camera factory at this city
will go out of business here shortly
after the first of the year.
This announcement was made to-
day by. c. Drake who has been in
active charge of the plant for several
years. Sears. Roebuck and company,
the owners, decided recently that
the demand for cameras did not war
rant the continued operation of the
plant by them and they have there
fore decided to terminate the bus
mess and sell the building and pro-
perty. In the meantime the Chicago,
mail order house is making arrange
ments to buy cameras from other
firms for their trade.
The Conley Camera factory orig
mated in Spring Valley, being OPP
Grated by Kerry and Fred Conley
Early in 1904 the concern entered
into an arrangement with Sears,
Roebuck whereby the Chicago firm
agreed to buy the output. 1t was
about this time that Mr.. Drake be-
came associated with the company,
going to Spring Valley from the I'm
perial Camera company of La eros
Sc. In June 1904, the company moved
to Rochester and located in the
building now occupied by Mass and
HcAndrew and remained there
about FIVE years when the camera
factory on the present site was
built. During this time the Conleys
disposed of their interests to Sears,
Roebuck and L. Lambert became
the manager. ,f
At one time the company en-
ployed about 200 people and aver
ume of business has shrunk to such
an extent that 1t does not warrant
operation Of plant of its capacity.

the street paving on some of the streets
The plan is for the city to do the work

the paving for five years.
There is some question about the city
Icing able to collect. but that is mat
to-, for the courts to decide. The c0rln.
Gil can not we'll proceed otherwise than
in the course mapped ont. The paving
must be repaired and if the contrac.
tors are not responsible under the bond

to bear the expense.
The Freeman-JOurnal knows nothing
of the legal status of the case, but that
the streets must be repaired is conceded
Ly everybody and if special tax levy
is necessary that fact ought to he es-
tablished. The contractors hold. we
are informed, that they have carried
out their contract, and perhaps they
are right about it, and if the court
agrees, that will settle the matter.
The council cannot do otherwise than
take it into court.
