Rapid lirmvtlt of a Prosperous "tilting
Firm in this City.
l-‘ew batting firms in this country at
present are in a more prosperous condi-
tion than Hubbell d: Barthel. In fact.
very fpw concerns in the batting trade
have a more steady line of work. Their
growth has been by no means of a much In
room character, but through close alien.
tion to business and dealing fairly with
their customers, Messrs. Hubhcll d: Bar-
thol have earned the excellent reputation
that they are now enjoying. Most of
our readergt can remember when these
gentlemen Etarted business in a small
building on Water street seven years
ago.
The liIIiI undoubtedly at that time en-
tertained no idea that' In 1888 they would
be in their present I-omrnodious factory.
They b Itli applied [llt'ffl‘slelh’s strictly to
their W'IIIli, an l the result was soon felt.
Orders came in rapidly and soon their
little "roost" presented a very busy ap-
pearance. A few years later it was
seen that they must have larger quart-
ers and cortquucntl y they erected their
present factory.
llubbell & ’lhrthol only make hats in
the rough, and until within the past
week the bodies have been ltlrilliftl out-
side. They now have their forming
works in successful operation, and in a
few week-I their capacity for doing that
work will be largely increased. In erect-
ing the new factory the convenience and
comfort of the employees were :arefully
taken into consideration. The rooms in
which the men work are large and airy.
The most appreciable feature of the fac-
tory, and one which is not cnjoycd by
the men in many factories, is the large
fans which conduct all the steam from
the kettles in the sizing rooms and leaves
the air in first department as clear as in
any part of the factory. In the rear end
of the plank shop is the forming room.
One machine is now In operation, and in
a short time another will be placed there.
The blowing room is on the second floor
and in it are three blowing machines,
each containing eight, six and three
pickers respectively. The machines are
self-feeders and are of the most approv-
ed style. The machinery is run by a 35
horse power Hampson engine, and a
large Tillursv power boiler furnishes an
ample supply of steam for the uses of the
factory. All the departments of the fac-
tory are equipped In the best possible
manner for the business.
The precaution that the firm has taken
against fire is commendable. The door
casings are all lined with tin, so that the
progress of the flames could be arrested
in case of a conflagration. Coils of hose,
buckets of water and fire extinguishers
are placed in different parts of the build-
ing. All these preventives that Hub-
bell & Barthel have taken makes it al«
most impossible for a serious fire. Their
latest movement for the protection of
their property has been the engagement
of a night watchman, and the placing of
an American V‘atchman s Time Detector
in the building. Seven stations are in
the factory and a button at each is- con—
nected by an electric wire with the De-
tector in the office and the record is made
and kept there. The Norwalk Lock
Company also have one in use.
There is no chance of tampering with the
machine. The Detector is pronounced
by insurance underwriters to be the best
apparatus of the kind in the market.
The capacity of Hubbell I' thol‘s
factory is About fifty dozen a day. Six
years ago the business of the firm
amounted to $7,000 a year. During
the pad year the sales were about $150,-
000. 'l‘htI firm haveI an excellent factory
and should be congratulated upon ll’lcll’
prospering business.
Messrs. llubbell & Bartltol are both
well known. Mr. llubbell was in the
Common Council in 1886 and is now
serving his second term as Mayor of this
Olly.
