Ann Arbor Manufacturing Co.

It is a matter of peculiar gratification to the pcople of Ann Arbor that our city is in the very front in the matter of skill and inventive genius. In 1889 the Unon Shade Pull Company was established in Grand Rapids to manufacture a line of household specalties, and in the spring of 1890 the business was purchased and jrought to Ann Arbor, the new owners retaining the old name until July 3, when it became the above, with J. M. Bnllis manager. They manufacture shade pulls, tassel hooks, drapery pins, picture nails, curtain loops, easels and ! all kinds of vrire novelties, both useful and ornamental. They occupy a building 40x100 in size, ocated on the Toledo a-nd Ann Arjor railroiid, where twenty girlsj and boys ire employed in turning ont the different articles that are soldfl.ll over the United States. The members of this company are well known and leading business men of our city. Two traveling men are employed and orders are pouring in; also letters from jobbers who have previously ordered oxpressing their entire satisfac:ion. This company has a good line and we predict for it a grand success. They have recently purcñased the old Krause tannery and will move intoitin the spring wben they will branch out into other lines.
