E. Brown & Co. at Orwigsburg. He started in as a finisher and worked up through the various departments until he had completely mastered the industry, and in 1891 became associated with Mr. George Adams, of Adamsdale, in the same business, as general manager. This relationship was continued until January, 1901, when Mr. Adams' death caused a reorganization of the concern, which was then incorporated into a stock company with Mr. Hubler as president and general manager; F.
