WAUPACA COUNTY REPUBLICAN

March 14, 1890

 

            The Waupaca Novelty Works have just completed twenty-five Star Coffee Mills, with the Dana Clutch attachment for Borden, Selleck & Co., the general Western agents in Chicago, who will handle all the mills made by the works here, for the Western trade, while Henry Trumner, the proprietor of the Star Coffee mill in Philadelphia, will manufacture for the eastern trade, the clutches only being supplied by the Waupaca Novelty Works for the Philadelphia factory.  But to the credit of Waupaca, they have adopted all the patterns for the frame of the coffee mill made by Mr. Dana.  The only portion of the mill not made here is the burs and nickel plate hopper.  The editor of the REPUBLICAN called at the factory on Monday just as Lem Arters was putting the last finishing touches to the mills with the gold brush.  They were about ready to be crated for shipment and Messrs. C.R. Hudson and Ed Jeffers were proud of the appearance of the first complete mills made since moving to the new quarters in the third story of the new brick warehouse of A.G. Nelson & co.  The REPUBLICAN will speak more at length of the Waupaca Novelty Works and the enlarged plant of the gentlemen interested in future manufacturing in another issue.
