keep a number of highly skilled OPP
eratives employed. This concern
has erected some very large organs
in different cities, all of which have
been very highly commended by
competent judges.
The splendid water power of the
Antietam and Conococheague Creeks
is utilized by large numbers of
FIGURING Mills, which not only sup
ply the home market with the very
best of flour, but convert a large
part of the surplus wheat into flour,
which is shipped to New York and
Baltimore. A great deal of it goes
from these cities to supply the South
American market. All of these
mills now use the roller process, and
the flour they manufacture has no
superior anywhere made from Win
ter wheat.
Mentzer's Bindery and Box Fac
tory gives employment to a con-
siderable number of hands, many of
whom are girls. The output of pa
per boxes is very large. There are
no less than ten cigar factories-each
one of them manufacturing a very
large number of cigars. Also, a fac
tory which supplies them with
boxes. Five Brick Yards supply the
home demand. Lately machinery
has been introduced to make pressed
bricks, with a most excellent result.
A large Broom Factory is also in ac-
tive and prosperous operation.
DR.. D. Fahrney & Sons Laboratory
for the manufacture of patent medi-
cines, is a feature of the manufac-
turing business of the town. 1t was
organized in 1881, since which time
they have used a half million of
bottles and have distributed free,
over that number Of their advertis-
ing patent memorandum books. They
keep two printing presses at work
and have given away to storekeep-
ers 100000 paper bags. Their an
nual output represents a large sum.
The Hagerstown Mattress and Up
holstering Company, for the manu-
facture of various kinds of mat
tresses and furniture upholstery
gives employment to large number
of operatives.

MANUFACTURES

While Hagerstown cannet be class
ed as a manufacturing town, there
are numerous factories covering a
great field of enterprise, and the dis
position to engage in and encourage
these enterprises is constantly grow
ing. Some of the manufacturing
concerns are large and important,
but most of them are small affairs,
each giving lucrative employment
to few, and the aggregate being
large enough to make good show
ing for the town and ensure its pros
perity by giving constant employ
ment to its present population.
The varied character of its man
ufactured products ensures Hagers-
town from the temporary collapses
sometimes experienced by those
towns which have, so to speak, all
their eggs in one basket. Disaster
may overtake one branch of trade
and compel concerns engaged in

Here is the fifth installment in a
series of articles taken from T. l. c.
Williams booklet, 'Hagerstown, !"
published in 1887 by the Mail Pub
fishing Company.
This weeks installment deals
with Hagerstown's financial inStitu-
tions and manufactures as they ex-
listed at that time.
BANKS
There are five Banks and Banking
Houses in the city, besides Ma
tional Bank at Williamsport, few
miles away. One of the banks in
the town is a substantial National
Bank; another an old State Bank,
which is regarded as one of the most
solid in the State; a Banking House,
and two Loan and Savings Banks.
Besides these, the Insurance Com
panies lend money. 1t will be seen
from this that the banking facilities
are sufficient to meet any demand
likely to arise.
The old Hagerstown Bank, one of
the leading and soundest institu-
tons of the kind in the State, was
organized March IL, 1907. 1t was
the outcome of a private banking
institution owned by Mr.. Nathaniel
Rochester. This gentleman, who be-
came the founder of the city of
Rochester, N. Y, was the first pres
ident of the Bank. His portrait now
adorns the walls of the directors
room in the Bank. The business was
conducted until 1914 in a room in
Mr.. Rochesters house, stone build
ing which stood opposite the Court
House, and has recently been pull
ed down to make place for Governor
Hamilton's new hotel. In 1914, it
was removed to its own building on
the present location. It's capital
stock was fixed at $250,O00, but af-
forwards the Bank exercised its
privilege OF paying SIU on each
share, reducing the stock to $780,
600 at a par value of SIS per share.
The Presidents of the Hagerstown
Bank have been Nathaniel Rochest-
