| TEXT | The manufacture of hats is the great industry that is carried on in Orange, there being perhaps a greater number of factories within its limits than any other place in the United States. Among them there are but few who make the "form" or body of the hat, that being a special branch of business represented by the firm of J. & G. H. Gill, who have an extensive establishment on Lumber Street, near the Railroad. The building is a large, substantial structure, 40x150 feet, three stories in height, in which they have intricate machinery, and turn out many thousand dozen forms annually, as most of the manufacturers in this section receive their supplies from their establishment. Messrs. John and George H. Gill are from Walpole, Mass., where they were formerly engaged in the same business. They came to Orange in 1872, and from that time have been actively engaged in the business of fur hat-body forming, which is the first process in the manufacture of hats, and employ upward of one hundred workpeople, their enterprise having in no small degree been of material benefit to a large class of this community. Messrs. J. & G. H. Gill, since they have resided in Orange, have become popular, and have always taken an active interest in its affairs, and enjoy a high reputation for their public spirit and liberality. Mr. John Gill is the secretary of the Orange Savings Bank and a director of that sound, substantial institution. Mr. George H. Gill is also engaged in business as a manufacturer of fine soft fur hats, at the corner of East Day and Kearney Streets, East Orange, where he has an extensive establishment and conducts a large business, having his office and salesroom at No. 96 Spring Street, New York. |
