on in 1907, 65 x 1!35 feet. At th'
completion of the buildinp; new and ad
ditional machinery was installed suffi
cient to enable them to increase tho
number of vehicles per day to meet
the enormous demand that had grown
by that time.
This of course called for tho employ,
ment of more workmen, and as the
business continued to grow at the
rapid rate it was then experiencing,
additional mechanics were added.
This growth soon materialized in more
rcom being needed, so with tho open
ing of the fall of 1013 plans were
drawn up and the contract let for an.

Today tho Hanagan buggies are
known and used not only in ever;,

value in material and workmanship.
Patrons were not slow to learn this,
and whenever the name John Flana
gan was seen on abuggy that vehicle
was recognized as one of merit.
Year by year the business grew,
and from time to time more apace
had to be added to meet tbe demands
upon the plant which had won a rep
utation even into neighboring states.
The plant grew until it covered a
large part of the lot on Cotanch street
•pposite Hotel Macon.
After many years of successful busi
■eas, its founder passed away and bis
son, Mr. E. G. Flanagan, succeeded
kim at the head of the enterprise. Hs
organized a company for carrying on
the business on a still larger scale,
and it grew to such a degree that they
found it impossible to meet the de.
■nands for their products without fur-
ther enlargement. This being true th’
company began negotiations for tho
purchase of adjoining property, but
not being able to secure it. the lot on
Carolina, and in nearly every stale
below the Mason and Dixou line.
With the increased popularity of
the .lohn Flanagan Buggy Company
and their vehicles, Greenville gets her
share of th(‘ advertisement, becausf
whereever the company is known
Greenville is known as their home.
Among the many improvements
made at the completion of the new ad
dition was a water sprinkler system
cost of about $3,500, which gives them
? much lower insurance rate. The
system is arranged on the ceiling of
tbe different departments, and should
fire occur in any part of the building
when it reaches to a certain heat it
causes the caps that are stationed on
the pipes a few feet apart to blow oj't
allowing a large stream of water, suf

may occur. An electric elevator is also
used in carrying stock to (he different
floors.
Another acquisition made since the

factory was the installation of an iniic-
