| TEXT | The firm whose name heads this short article started in business originally in 1871. Through their careful and considerate management the trade has steadily increased until it became necessary to erect a larger building that would be suitable to the demand of a fast growing business. The building now occupied was furnished and occupied by the firm during the year 1889. In purchasing the machinery for the new mill all advantage was taken of every late improvement thus giving them facilities fully equal to those possessed by any American firm. Nothing but the finest class of materials are used, which in conjunction with the highly skilled labor and the best machinery unite in producing a grade of hosiery that cannot be surpassed by any manufacturer in this country. In addition to this large plant in Gcrmantown, the firm also have a branch factory at Mahanoy City, which is operated under the name of the Eagle Hosiery Mills. These works are under the supervision of Mr. W. E. Chipman, a son of the senior member of the firm. This young man has spent his entire business career in this line, and is fully familiar with all the many details of the business. In addition to the plant just mentioned the firm also own a controlling interest in two other mills of the same character in the Schuylkill Valley. Some idea of the immense size may be gathered from the fact that employment is given to nearly 600 work-people, and the value of product amounts to more than $400.000 per annum. The members of the firm are Messrs. Chas. Chipman and Frank L. Chipman. Both of these gentlemen are natives of this city, and have always taken an active interest in its welfare. Mr. Chas. Chipman is Past Master of Stephen Girard Lodge, R. A. M., a member of the Royal Arch Chapter, No. 183, and Captain General of Kadosh Commander}', No. 29, K. T., the Manufacturer's Club, Cavalry Post, No. 35, G. A. R., and president of the Fifth Pennsylvania Cavalry Association, having served three years in the late war in the Fifth Pennsylvania Cavalry. Mr. Frank L. Chipman is the travelling man of the firm, making trips throughout the South, West and Southwest. Formerly the firm were also manufacturers of underwear, but about a year ago they sold all their machinery and appliances to Mr. B. W. Elder of The Enterprise Hosiery Mills of New Orleans. |
