Much has been said and written of what
the manufacturing Industry of Vergcnnes
might have been, but few have ever stated
what It actually Is, and In spile of the coin
passionate tone adopted by the writers of the
aforesaid articles, Vergcnnes people do not
consider themselves In any need of sympa
thy. Manufactories of shade rollers, furnl
ture, doors, sash and blinds, hubs, horse
nails, road machines aud other articles give
an air of bustle and activity to tho vicinity of
the falls, which nothing but lively business
enterprise could create, and an Inspection cf
tiic different factories would give the obser
ver a marked respect for Vergcnnes and her
manufactuies.
One of the leading Industries of Vcrgennes
is;tnaiot tho Vermont Shade Holler Alatiu.

business it is necessary for It to keep in
stock over fifteen bundled caskets, and tubes
and trimmings to the value of about $8000.
The company is making nt present over
one hundred caskets per week, and should
the buslniss Increase as It Ins for the past
two or three years It will necesltote much
greater capaclly for inanufatluilng. At
present the amount of flooring in the
manufactoty is neatly two-thirds of au
acre. The number cf bauds employed is
about fifty and the weekly pavreill
amounts to oier 4400.
The capaclly of iho saw mill is about 8000
feet per day. The most of the lumber used
is obtained in this vicinity, though a large
amount is annually shipped by rail. Should
Iho company rebuild it Is a question whether

should bo built. The excess of sales ror the
year 1383 over the previous year was

iter a duplicate set were added, and Mini
constitutes our pumping machinery nt Iho

When the last addition was ma le to the
