| TEXT | Successor to Messrs. Crisp & Hague. Among the few inventions designed to lighten woman's labor the sewing-machine decidedly occupies the foremost rank. Such inventions are not only a benefit to the human race on account of their laborsaving qualities, but also because, in their manufacture, they give employment to skilled artisans. A portion of the machine retiuiring particular attention is the belting or strap by which the works are kept in continued motion. This indispensable article is manufactured by Mr. Hague, whose factory is situated on Bloomfield Avenue. It was established in Bloomfield several years before the occupation of the present building in 1878. Five skilled workmen find steady employment in the works, the number being increased according to the pressure of business. The main building is devoted to the principal processes in the manufacture while the back building is in use for finishing purposes. An engine of seven-horse power furnishes the necessary motive-power for the machinery used in the work. A profitable business extending over a wide circuit has been established. Mr. Ralph Hague, the sole proprietor, is a native of England, and is well known as honorable and straightforward in all his dealings and highly respected in the community. |
