The growing time.

...

During the past summer the Wm. Case & Sons Mfg. Co. have erected a three story solid brick addition to the large factory, 80 feet front by 71 feet depth; a new dry kiln 135 feet long by 65 feet wide, covered with metal, and a portion two stories high; a stave mill, partly two stories high, covered with metal, 50×60 feet; a dry kiln for pail staves, 28×42 feet and 45 feet high, covered with metal. All these buildings are now occupied. Part of the machinery was moved into the stave mill on Thanksgiving Day and is now in running order. Three more machines will be put into the same building as soon as possible. The firm is shipping eight cars of woodenware this week and yet orders are something like 25 or 30 cars ahead. The firm runs its own electric light plant and has about 350 lights already installed with more to add and the men are working overtime. There are 280 on the pay roll this month. During the past year this firm alone has averaged (between raw material coming in and manufactured going out) over 20 cars a week on the G.T.R. To cope with their large output Messrs. Wm. Cane & Sons have purchase a nine-acre timber limit in Gibson County.
