• Notes

  HAMBURG FELT WORKS This is a new enterprise for Hamburg, the plant having been put in operation about three weeks ago. Mr E Merner, who was born and raised here, is the founder of this, which will undoubtedly prove to be one of Hamburg's most important industries. The building in which the machinery has been placed consists of two rooms 30x60 and two 30x80 and is two stories high. There is an additional room about 30 feet square for the engine and boiler, and the picking room is 18x72 feet. There is a 100 horse power boiler and a fine brand new high speed 45 horse power engine, and the entire plant consists of the latest improved machinery. Mr. Mercer will employ from forty five to fifty people when in full operation. He manufactures felt shoes of every description, sole felt, harness felt, felt horse-blankets, felt socks, polishing felt and piano and organ felt. Mr. Merner has had ripe experience on the road as travelling salesman and some experience in the manufacture of felt at Brandon prior to opening up here. His experience on the road as a salesman will certainly be of great advantage to him in finding suitable market for his product. The general manager and overseer of the establishment is Mr. Joseph Pipher, a gentleman who has a thorough knowledge in the manufacture of felt. He was formerly employed in the J. & T. Grant felt works of Woodstock, and came from that place with first-class recommendations. The felt manufacturing industry is yet in its infancy, and with the rapid opening up to settlement of the great Northwest the demand for this class of goods will rapidly increase. In this case the New Hamburg Felt Works will not have been established in vain. It will have its share in the market. Mr. Merner is manufacturing a first-class article and his friends have every reason to believe that he will have a ready sale for all his plant is capable of producing. The CHRONICLE wishes the new industry abundance of success and congratulates New Hamburg on the introduction of another enterprise which will give steady employment to a large number of its inhabitants.
