The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1954-02-04

In addition to the products he sells
from house to house, Mr.. Amstutz
belongs to a Home Craft merchandise
ing set up which operates shops in
several major cities of the west. At
these stores, he may place his
articles on sale on a commission
basis. 1t is to make arrangements
for displaying his items in Denver
and Salt Lake City, that he is stop
ping in those cities on his way
home.
While in Button for the next
two weeks he will visit his other
sister, Olivia Amstutz, in Lima and
his half-sister, Mrs. C. c. Hochstetter
of near Bluffton.
AS to the social security checks,
Mr.. Amstutz says there are times
when he turns them back to the
government. Whenever his earnings
from the business are more than he
is SLOWED under social security regu-
lations, he simply drops them a card
and they stop the check.
At 10 years of age this west
coast entrepreneuer is hustling about
the country buster than overland
enjoying every minute of his indie
pendence.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1954-02-04

to Oregon III 1874
Last Saturday Mr.. Amstutz, here
on a visit with his sister, Lydia, told
how at the age Of 65 he began a
new life as an Oregon manufacturer.
When most men are thinking of slow
ing down to rocking chair pace, Amos
was just beginning.
Combining business and pleasure,
Amos brought with him a sample case
containing one each of the six items
he manufactures in his home craft
shop in Silverton, Oregon. He plans
to stop in Salt Lake City and Denver
enroute home to market some OF his
products. AS matter of fact he
found a few customers right here in
Button.
Mr.. Amstutz's products are made
entirely from wood, a raw material
of which there is an abundance close
at hand in Oregon. He goes into the
woods to select his own materials.
directly from ~nstureg outs down his
tree and bringslit hohe\to be turned
into finished 8produets.\ What is
more, the former Blufftonite, not
only designs and produces his own
articles of manufacture, but then
takes to the road with his ample
case and sells them.
Don't get the idea that Amstutz
products are something hand whit
tied. They're made on assembly-line
principals with machinery carefully
designed for each operation. But
only Mr.. Amstutz is the operator.
His products consist first of all
of what he calls a sewing stand.
The first one. he ever saw was
made by his father, Peter B. Am
stutz, here in Button. 1t holds
30 spools Of thread. A woman
may select the color of her choice
and thread her needle without re-
moving the spool from the compact
little stand, A popular seller, Amos
estimates he has sold more than
1900 in Salem since he started in
business about five year ago.
He also makes a clever skirt and
pants hanger in two different styles,
a knitting reel, knife holder and a
chochet stand. None of the items
sell at more than $1.25, and Amos
says he cam make a good profit at
that because of the speed with which
he can turn them out.
All of the work is done in the
basement Of his home and in a
workship at the rear of his property
in Silverton.

half-hour program will include a
film depicting the varied activities
of the organization during the past
year, and also a discussion of Red
Cross services by members of the
Delaware county chapter.
Since the groups are expected to
work out solicitation plans for
their own working areas following
the TV showing, all campaign
leaders have been urged to take
advantage of the house party idea
as a means of training solicitors
and informing the public concern
ing Red Cross functions.
