New Bainbridge Firm
Chenango Union, August 28, 1902
A stock company consisting of Charles C. Hovey, Charles Ireland and Jesse Whitman has been formed with the intention of combining their business interests. The company will be known as the C.C. Hovey Supply Co., and will control the Bainbridge Novelty Works and the hardware business formerly conducted by Mr. Whitman. The company will be capitalized at $25,000. They have purchased of Eli Bennett his interest in the novelty works, and also his house and lot adjoining. the plant, we understand, will be enlarged and the volume of business increased in various ways.
The hardware store will be improved by the addition of the rooms formerly occupied by the Express Publishing Co., as a printing office. This will give the store proper double its present capacity, and the workshop connected therewith four times the present floor space. Mr Whitman will superintend this branch of the business, as formerly, while Mr. Ireland will have charge of the novelty works and lumber business.
It is the purpose of the company to be able to furnish everything in way of house builders' materials, wholesale or retail, and to this end no amount of labor, pains or money will be spared.
The manufacture of creamery supplies will also be made an important feature of the hardware industry, Mr. Hovey's patent pasteurizer being one of the chief articles manufactured.
The company is officered as follows: President, Charles C. Hovey; vice president, Charles W. Ireland; treasurer, Jesse Whitman.--Republican
