Beaumont Spoke & Handle Company. 



The Beaumont Spoke & Handle Company of 

 Beaumont. Tex., a newly organized concern, has 

 received Its charter, and the plant will start up 

 as soon as the Installment of machinery is com- 

 pleted, which will probably be within a couple 

 of weeks. It will begin operations with a force 

 of about thirty men and will make about 9,000 

 handles per day, also a large number of spokes. 



The transportation facilities of Beaumont and 

 Its proximity to accessible hardwood timt>er 

 lands make it an excellent location for a factory 

 of the kind, and the company was offered every 

 inducement by the Chamber of Commerce to lo- 

 cate in Beaumont, rather than In other sections 

 which were considered. 



The following officers have been elected : E. 

 B. Baldwin, president ; W. A. I'riddlc, secretary ; 

 W. C. Tyrrell, treasurer : Theodore S. Cooler, 

 vice-president and general manager; the board 

 of directors are E. B. Baldwin, W. C. Tyrrell, 

 Jr.. George W. Carroll, W. A. Prlddle and Theo- 

 dore S. Cooley. 



Wm EebuUd Veneer Plant. 



The I'rost Veneer .Seating Company has de- 

 cided to rebuild Its plant at Anilgo. Wis., and 

 has commenced cleaning up the debris caused 

 by Its destruction, and Is excavating for tne 

 new buildings. The work will be pushed along 

 rapidly, and Superintendent Calhoun expects to 

 have the new plant running In October. It will 

 be about the same size as the old one. bat 

 equipped with the most modern machinery and 

 lacllltles for manufacturing high-class veneer. 



The city of Antlgo Is much elated over hav- 

 ing prevented the owners from rebuilding their 

 plant at some other point, as was originally 

 contemplated : but the community spared no 

 effort to retain the Industry, which Is a valuable 

 one for any town to maintain.
