In a short while a larger demand sprang up for these overalls and a small factory was started to meet the demand. From this humble beginning during twenty-five years a business has been established that represents a sale of more than a million garments a year. The output of this factory is known as the "Auto-Brand" and it bears the highest reputation among

The Parry Manufacturing Company, owing to its rapid growth, has attracted, perhaps, more and wider attention than any other industrial institution in the western country. The founda- tion of this magnificent and enor- mous business was laid twenty- four years ago at Rushville, Ind., by David M. and Thomas H. Parry. At that point they began the man- ufacture of road carts. The road cart up to this time had not fully found favor with the agricultur- ists of America as a general util- THE PARRY MANUFACTURING COMPANY. ity vehicle, but the Parrys saw the "ear marks" of popularity in the "two-wheeler." Firmly con- vinced that the world could be con- verted to their use and with "the faith that was in them" and the aid of forty employes, but limited facilities, they began the work. In 1884 their factory was de- stroyed by fire and they immedi- ately sought new quarters and con- tinued the work ou a larger scale. By 1886 the road cart had estab- lished a reputation, and the Parry's were compelled to seek larger and better quarters for the production of their popular vehicle. In this year they moved to Indianapolis. From this tme forth the business grew by leaps and bounds, and from an output of 100 carts a day in a short space of time the fac- tory began to turn out 1,000 carts daily, sending them to all quarters of the globe. In 1890 the com- pany began the manufacture of four-wheel vehicles on a large scale, such as surreys, piano-box buggies, phaetons, road and spring wagons, etc. With the wide trade

connections secured by this time in the sale of carts and the established reputation for making the very best goods for the smallest amount of money, they invaded the field occupied by the oldest and strongest car- riage manufacturers. The plant was enlarged and equipped throughout with every modern appliance necessary to bring down the cost of pro- duction to the minimum. How well the Parry Manufacturing Company has succeeded in the manufacture of carriages is attested in the enor- mous plant, covering sixty-eight acres of ground-in which every por- tion of a buggy, with the exception of the cloth and leather, is manu- factured from the raw material. In all there are nineteen buildings, connected with railroad switches running into the factory grounds. Two independent electric plants are used for lighting the factory, and all the machinery is operated by electricity. Over 350 four-wheel jobs are turned out daily, and thirty-two traveling men are constantly employed. visiting the trade in every state and territory in the Union. To pack the goods requires 15,000 feet of lumber daily for crating and seventy- five persons are employed in the office department. The officers of the company are: David M. Parry, president ; E. R. Parry, vice-president ; S. C. Parry, treasurer ; L. D. Guffin, secretary, and Thomas H. Parry, general superintendent. .
Wm. Langsenkamp & Son, coppersmiths, 130 to 138 East Georgia street. This business was established in 1868 by Mr. Wm. Langsen- kamp. It is one of the oldest established manufacturing concerns in the city and has a substantial business throughout the central west.

The works are 75x80 feet in dimension, only first class workmen are employed and the workshops are equipped with modern machinery and appliances.

system has been considered by manufacturers of lumber and clay products the most practical and effective method of brick and lumber drying on the market. The importance of such a device as this can not be overestimated, since all of the immense quantities of building brick used throughout the world must, of course, undergo the drying process before being burned ; and all lumber, no matter what its quality and purpose, must be rightly seasoned to reach a condition of full worth and usefulness. "The Standard" Moist Air Drier is now in operation in nearly every state of the Union, in Canada, in South America, In many of the countries of Europe, and even so far away as the Orient. The remarkable success of the "Standard" drying system is due, in good part, to continual and indefatigable efforts at improvement, the present drier being in many respects superior to the original model of two dec- ades ago. Robert Elliott is the president and W. P. Hussey the secretary and treasurer of the Standard Dry Kiln Company, whose offices and shops are now located at 62-633 South Pennsylvania street. Both are men of life-long experience in their business, and combine with this knowledge the happy spirit of progressiveness, which is one of the most necessary qualities of the modern day manufacturer.

Citizens' Gas Company -After the failure of the supply of natural gas, the work of forming an organization was begun in the summer of 1905 to take over the property of the Consumers' Gas Trust Company, which was organized November 5, 1887, and had supplied the city with natural gas at almost nominal prices. Millions of dollars had been saved to the citizens through the agency of this company. In order that the people might in a measure again enjoy the benefits of a cheap fuel gas, on August 25, 1905, a franchise was granted to Alfred F. Potts, President of the Commercial Club ; Frank D. Stalnaker, President Board of Trade, and Lorenz Schmidt, who were to assign it to the Citizens' Gas Company, pledged to sell gas at a maximum of 60 cents per thousand feet, and on December 13, 1905, the city, under the admin- istration of John W. Holtzman, contracted to assign its option in the Consumers' Gas Trust Company to the Citizens' Gas Company, which was incorporated May 23, 1906, After harassing litigation the prop- erty was appraised and the work of raising a million dollars by popular subscription to the stock of the company was begun. The people of Indianapolis rallied to the support of the company, and on October 31, 1907, one day before the expiration of the option, the necessary amount to pay for the mains, $409,061.00, was paid to the directors of the Con- sumers' Gas Trust Company for their property. Nearly three thousand subscriptions, ranging from $25 to many thousand dollars, were se- cured to make up this amount. Indianapolis has done many things in a large way for the common good, and the year 1907 will be memorable in this respect, as the people of Indianapolis had donated over a half million dollars to different institutions before the work of financing the Citizens' Gas Company was begun. The officers of the company are: Franklin Vonnegut, president; Alfred F. Potts, vice-president, and J. D. Forrest, secretary.
Capital Machine Works, Nos, 502-504 South Pennsylvania street- This important concern was founded in 1889 by Louis Koss, who is now at the head of the business.
