Stahl & Co., realtors, of Waukegan, according to press dispatches from the Wisconsin town. Sale of an abandoned factory building located in Burlington, Wis., VOLUME XXXVII--NUMBER 6 STAHL FIGURES IN SALE OF FACTORY AT BURLINGTON, WIS. The large building formerly own-- ed by the Buzer Basket and Veneer company was sold to the Bernhard KFerring & Son company of Chicago which will equip the plant for the manufacture of church furniture. They will make axtensive changes in the plant but will be operating before spring. s WORKS ON LOCAL PROJECT Speaking of the transaction The Btandard Democrat of Burlington says in part as follows: "The Badger Basket & Veneer Co. factory has been idle for nearly three years. Various efforts to sell the property have beenh unsuccess-- ful in spite of the fact that the plant is in good condition and con-- talus a lot of fine wood working machinery. Having completed this deal, Mr. Stahl today launched a drive to in-- terest manufacturing concerns in one or two empty manufacturing buildings in Waukegan. One build-- ing especially desirable for certain type of manufacturing has been vYa-- eant for several years. "Recently the property was placed in the hands of T. J. Stabhl & Co., real estate brokers of Waukegan, Jil., and to them goes the credit for the sale. It was through them and George A,. Uebele and Fred New of the Bank of Burlington representing the A. L Story estate that negotia tions were made. Contracts were signed in Burlington on Monday. "The purchasers have been oper-- ating a large factory in Chicago, manufacturing church furniture and fixtures, for thirty years. They have outgrown their present location and have been seeking larger quarters. They employ from forty to fifty peo-- ple. The present equipment of the mm;w is such that most of the m ty can be utilized by the new owners. The entire factory will be operated by electric power. «.1 by two daughters. Funeral ser--| vicges will be held on Friday after--' moon at the Larson residense "The executives of the concern, to-- gether with quite a large number of the skilled labor, will move to Bur-- lington and no doubt a great deal of their bhelp will be taken from former employes of the basket factory that are availlable." Carl Peter Chindblom, ploneer res ident of Chicago and father of Con-- g:cnn Carl R.
