OR REEVES WILL BE RETAINED." C. S. Brantingham, of Rockford, 111., president of, the Emerson-Bran ting-ham Company, which now owns the Reeves plant here, gave assurance during' his visit to Columbus "Friday afternoon and night that no one need about a reduced working force or a restricted output at the local fad-tory. I "You may say that I said the increased capital of the company will surely enable us to do a greater Vol- ume of business here than has been done in tie said Mr. Branting- nam, Friday afternoon.

He said he appreciated the fact that there has been a "feeling of unrest here since the first announcement, was made that theReeves'. plaqt was. to He appreciates' the fact, that the Reeves factory has "been 'the biggest concern here and; that-business men came to depend upon it as. a mainstay. 1 Mr.

Brantingham pays tfeTound the same unrest at Waynesboro, i where his company has acquired the Geiser Manufacturing -Company. However, he has been tqnable. assure, the! people there' that their factory is not to be closed and- that the hope is to make it I larger and more productive instead of He wants the people here to feel the same way about Reeves plants He says he does not blame- them for feeling ap- prehemiive when a new ownership rn hnd nf thine a tint a a Via. Inolofa the new company is not a trust and is not buying up plants to crush com he does not see where the people have any reason" for unrest. Mr.

Brantingham says he does not know a single product being made in the Reeves plant here that could be made any better anywhere else. This statement was made in response to a question relative 'to whether or not any of the present products would be taken away from here and whether or not new products would be added. Mr. Brantingham says he has not even been home to Rockford since the deal "was put taking over the Reeves and various other companies, and many; of the details of future development and management have not yet been worked out. The matter" of what products will be made here will be forj the future to determine, but whatever is made here will be pushed hard, and Mr4 Brantingham feels1 sure that with increased capital thej com- pany wfn.

He said' the board of directors of the new company had; notyet been made, up -and fbat a statement relative to who 'will go toRockford, who will remain here and who relieved from duty in the office can nol.be made-yet. For the- present the pld Company" management is in local charge and the business la being, run. practically the same as if 'there had been no.

Mr. Brantingham thinks the name is an asset and he proposes to keep it before the public. He baa ordered; a large sign for the office here and will have on that sign Brantingham Company. while nnderl it will be the word ing i "Reeves Works The big water tank near the 4 on -which the wording "Reeves Company" now appears will Jm relettered and the new lettering will -be Works." Mr. Brantingham says the name Reeves on or Daily over At the New Shirt Factory and There Are Now 220 on Pay Roll.

HAIR MUST BE DONE UP WORK IS BEING SENT TO HOMES AND ADDITIONAL GIRLS WILL BE TAKEN ON AS FAST AS MACHINES ARE INSTALLED AT FACTORY. That the supply of working girls and in Columbus is not exhausted was shown at the new shirt factory on Jackson street, when thir. ty girls were taken on and will go to work Monday morning, when there will be 220 employes on the pay roll. The additional girls applied for work at the factory this morning in answer to an advertisement for girls between the age of 14 and 16 years. The new girls will be put at trimming shirts.

An advertisement for shirt trimming at home was also inserted and much of this class of work was contracted this morning. The. employes at the factory were put; work, last Monday and some of them had earned as much as eight dol Jars at quitting time Friday evening. Supt. Jordan, said this morning were between 90 and 100 girls who were earning $6 or over per week.

"All of the earners are guaranteed. $3X0 per week and.if they earn more than that, at piece work the additional rarepaid to them has beeq discharged or has quit 1 because t' of the change from straight wages to piece work. Prac tically no goods are being spoiled in the making and when any is spoiled by mistake it is not charged to the worker. There have been no acciCents since the factory started and every precau tion is taken to prevent accident. Superintendent Jordan will permit no girl to enter the.

work room with her hair down, and no girl is permitted even to put a belt on a machine. One girl called at the factory for work with her hair down and when told by Supt. Jordan that she must put her hair up before entering the work room she said she had no hair pins. Supt. Jordan told her to go home and put her hair up and if the- task required all day she would be paid for it.

The girl wanted to' go to work and she wanted to go to work badly, and she proposed a compromise, which was.fpr her to go into the work room and borrow some hair pins from the other girls, and this was done, but Supt. Jordan accompanied the girl into the work room to see that her hair was put up. Additional neip will ie put on at the factory as fast as additional ma-chines are installed and when the factory is equipped its full capacity there will be about 350 employes. Superintendent Jordan says that he receives letters almost daily from women and girls who want, to come to Columbus and take employment in the factory. He says he has received four letters from one woman who wants to come 300 miles to take employment In -the factory.

0 The Reliance Company has twenty-four shirt factories and Is just now building another at Carthage, The cutting for the new factory, is being done at the factory here and this will be continued. SupL Jordan said this morning that the most, unfortunate circumstance In connection the employment of girls from standpoint of the interest of the company Is that every now and then Dan; Cupid swoops down on the working force and kidnaps one of the girls.
