| TEXT | Orange has a great reputation as being one of the leading centres of the hat manufacturing industry of the country, in which a large capital and many hands are employed. The business, as conducted there, comprises mostly felt hats, one of the well-known manufacturers being Mr. Benno Leimer, who has carried on the business since 1874 and occupies several buildings, the main one being 30x50 feet in size. These buikhngs comprise several departments for the making and finishing of hats, in which about fifty workmen are employed. The business, as conducted by Mr. Leimer, is what is known in the trade as a "commission" manufacturer, that is, he is furnished the forms by other parties and he makes and finishes the hats, receiving for his pay a stipulated sum on the finished hats, out of which he pays the workmen. Mr. Leimer is a practical felt-hat maker, and came to this country from Germany many years ago. He turns out a great many hats during a season and is doing a large and lucrative business. |
