The Whiting Mfg. Co. are preparing to move into the big building at the corner of Nineteenth and Broadway, recently vacated by the Gorham Mfg. Co. The Whiting Co. will occupy the four or five lower floors, which will give them about double the space they now have in their old quarters at Eighteenth and Broadway. The new location is an unusually good one, and especially valuable through its former occupancy by the Gorham Co.

At the annual meeting of the Whiting Manufacturing Company, held recently in New York, the following officers were elected: President, Harold H. Hamilton; vice-president, Charles Osborn; secretary-treasurer, George E. Wells. The only officer re-elected was Mr. Osborn. Mr. Hamilton, the new president, was with the William B. Durgin Company for nineteen years, and Mr. Wells, the new secretary-treasurer, was connected for a score of years with the Gorham Manufacturing Company. The management declares that the company’s independence is not at all affected by the fact that some of the stock of outgoing officers has been purchased by the Gorham Manufacturing Company and state that the plant will be continued as an entirely separate enterprise.

BRIDGEPORT, CONN.

May 9, 1910.

Within a few weeks the new plant of the Whiting Manufacturing Company, silversmiths, situated on Bishop avenue, will be in full operation, and there will have been added to the many industries of the city of Bridgeport, one that will undoubtedly reach a much larger growth than it has attained up to the present time, because of better facilities and a better labor market, reasons which caused the company to leave its old plant at Fourth and Lafayette streets, New York, after being there for over thirty years.

At present about two-thirds of the plant has been moved to the new factory, and as soon as possible the balance of the equipment will be shipped here. Although the company is in the course of moving, and has been for some time, the turning out of goods has been going on just the same, despite the great inconvenience of doing business. The work is started in the New York factory, and when it reaches one of its crude stages, is sent here to be finished and shipped to customers.

The factory has a capacity of 500 hands. It will start with a force of about 350 hands, and will build up in the course of time. Most of the positions which can be offered by the company call for skilled workmen. Only a few women are employed, and these are mostly in the finishing and case department. The men, because of their skill and the nature of the work done, command high wages, and the coming of the plant will mean an increase of skilled workmen, whom it is believed will build homes here before long. The buildings without their mechanical equipment mean an investment of about $75,000. The Whiting company was in Attleboro, Mass., formerly. About thirty years ago it moved to New York City.

The officers of the company are: President, H. H. Hamilton; vice-president, Frank Osborne; secretary and treasurer, George E. Wells. Mr. Hamilton has already made his home in Bridgeport. The plant is in charge of Robert W. Higgins as superintendent.

Nearly one hundred of the skilled silversmiths, employes of the Whiting Mfg. Co., which has just completed its $65,000 plant on Bishop Ave., Bridgeport, arrived with their families in Bridgeport several days ago and fully that many more will arrive there the early part of next week. By the middle of the month it is expected that the entire force numbering nearly four hundred hands will be located in Bridgeport. The concern, which is one of the largest silver concerns in the country, was formerly located in New York and employs skilled and high salaried mechanics. The acquisition to Bridgeport is considered a valuable one, inasmuch as it brings a first-class lot of skilled men to the town.
