Busy rubber and shoe factories boost town prospects
The National India Rubber Company and Consumers' Rubber Company run at full tilt with large orders and hiring needs. McCarty cites 1898 as a benchmark for optimism, with gaiter and gum shoe lines in overtime and payroll near 8000 dollars weekly. The Consumers' Rubber Company opens a Boston office, while storms aid demand and workers gain steady employment through next summer. Namgquit Worsted reports solid orders, and Herreshoff Boat Shops progress on two 96-footers.
