    • Heimbecher & Jung - Manufacturers of Furniture, Builders' Material and Lumber Dealers

      This firm has one of the busiest places in Elmira. They manufacture furniture, such as chair and sofa frames, in large quantities and provide contractors and builders with anything they require in woodwork and lumber. Both are practical men of experience. Mr. Heimbecher has been in Elmira over a quarter century, and has been closely connected with this business during all of this time. Mr. Jung has also been in this business since he is able to work. They are constantly employing many hands and have, in this way, done much for the village.
