Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Twentieth Century Hat Factory E may say, without exaggeration, that no hat factory con 'structed in recent years has been the cause of so much discussion, so much criticism, favorable or otherwise, as the one recently erected and now in Operation in the City of Danbury, known as the lee-mclachlan factory. It is natural that there should be much discussion regarding this plant. It is the most ambitious undertaking of the kind that has ever been attempted in Connecticut (although there are several larger factories in Massachu setts, New York and Pennsylvania), and it is the most modern factory making both soft and stiff hats in the United States. It is unfortu natelv true that practically all of the discussion regarding this enter prise has been lacking in a proper basis of knowledge of what the factory really is and what are the aims or purposes of its owners. It is to fill this want that this book is written. This factory was built to accommodate the normal amount of production of the four factories heretofore Operated separately by Mr. Lee and Mr. Mclachlan; that is to say, two rough shops, one soft Shop and one stiff shop. The Lee - mclachlan Company is not, in reality, a manufacturing concern In the-usual sense. It is a company formed for the purpose of providing a common plant, Common power.
