His trade is local. He employs twenty- five to thirty hands, operates the plant the whole year, and produces about 5,000,000 annually. He owns in a connected tract about twenty-five acres of land, which lie betwen Third and Sixth streets, south of Chestnut.


Crusher Plants .- About 1870, while the project- ed South Mountain railroad was being extended from Strausstown by way of Bernville to a point opposite Reading, a quarry was opened at "Lein- bach's Hill," adjoining the west end of the Penn street bridge.

Then Smith withdrew, to engage in the same business at Reading, and Himmel- berger established a larger plant on Second street, which he has conducted in a very successful man- ner until the present time, manufacturing all kinds of buggies, light wagons and heavy wagons, which are forwarded to all parts of this and the sur- rounding counties. In 1907, he erected another large building to meet the demands of his trade. His plant is equipped with the latest improved machinery.

Carroll Schaeffer, Esq., is the secretary and James F. Matz, superintendent.


The company has about four hundred patrons. It also supplies the inhabitants of the borough of Wyomissing whose residences are situated east of the Bernville road.


Fire Company .- The West Reading Fire Com- pany was organized in 1901, secured a chemical en- gine and erected a frame building with a bell tower. It has one hundred members.


Belt Line .- A line of railroad was constructed through the eastern section of West Reading and opened for traffic in 1902 for the purpose of running coal and freight trains around Reading, in order to avoid the congestion of trains at the depot and limit


Halls .- The third floor of the West Reading Ho- tel has been set apart for amusement purposes.


The old one-story brick school building with its extension, situated on Franklin street between Sec- ond and Third streets, was purchased by William F. Behringer, retail butcher, upon its abandonment by the school directors when they took possession of the new school building, and he converted it into a hall for entertainments of all kinds. It is convenient of access and has a seating capacity of several hun- dred.


CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS .- Members of the Re- formed denomination residing in West Reading or- ganized a congregation in 1891 and erected a one- story brick church building where they have held services until the present time. Arrangements are being made to erect a superior new church in a more prominent locality.

established this school building became its prop- officials was held on Sept. 1, 1908, resulting in erty. The total cost was near $20,000. the election of the following officials :


ECKERT RESIDENCE .- George J. Eckert (fire Chief Burgess, Adam Rollman brick manufacturer of Reading) was one of the Council, Martin Fritz (3 years)


first purchasers of lots in West Reading, having in 1874 purchased a block of lots along Penn ave- nue extending from Second to Third streets, and several years afterward erected on a knoll a fine two-story mansion for his residence which has oc- cupied much prominence in the town until the present time.


SHILLINGTON


INCORPORATION .- The borough of Shillington, embracing an area of 284 acres of land, was erected by the court of Quarter Sessions of Berks county on Aug. 18, 1908. The application was presented on Sept. 9, 1907, and signed by 160 citizens of Cumru township, who resided in the vicinity of the "Three-Mile House," a long-es- tablished public place at the intersection of the Lancaster road with the thoroughfare commonly known as the "Philadelphia road," three miles southwest from Reading. Many property holders had entered a determined protest, but without avail.


In 1844, John Beidler secured the farming land there from the Valentine Stroup estate, upon which the "Three-Mile House" came to be established as a hotel, and the Beidlers have continued to own it until the present time. In 1848, Samuel Shil- ling purchased 128 acres, part of the same farm. In 1860, he laid off part of the land into lots, and soon afterward the' place came to be known as Shillington. James G. Lash purchased part of the farm and in . 1891 laid it off into lots; after which time the place grew rapidly by the erection of dwellings. The post-office was established in 1884.


In 1893, the heirs of Jonathan Miller, deceased, sold seventy-two acres, 107 perches of land to the west of Shillington to Henry Ahrens, George Eltz and J. B. Sterley, of Reading, and they laid it off into lots, which they called Edison, and then that section came to be improved rapidly.


The hotel was a popular resort for many years, more especially after a racing track had been es- tablished there in 1868. Previously the highway from that point toward Reading was occasionally used in spirited running races by ambitious own- ers of speedy horses, which attracted much public attention.


This section of road from the hotel to the bridge (crossing the Schuylkill river) was the first in the county to be improved by the State Highway de- partment. The improvement was made in 1904-07. at a cost of $18,326.


Shillington became connected with Reading by trolley line in 1890; and the same year the line was extended to Mohnsville (now Mohnton).
