Cane Industry Goes Industrial in Orange County
In Orange county Indiana a cane-maker, Albert Apple, shifted from hand carved canes to a factory system that produces up to 1000 canes daily. He and Joe Wilson built a full production line using a saw, a lathe, a drying process, and a steam box to shape hickory canes for walking, stock, and soon for the blind. The plant, three locations deep, has survived two prior fires with the latest in April 1949.
