BEATTY'S ORGANS. The Hon. John Hill, member of Congress of Boonton, N.J., accompanied by his wife, visited the Beatty Organ Factory at Washington, New Jersey, on Thursday last. He expressed himself as not only gratified, but astonished, at the extent and activity of Mayor Beatty's organ works. The prejudice which every young business man has to confront whose success is rapidly achieved is giving way before Mayor Beatty, and his wonderful business capacity is coming to be generally recognized and acknowledged. We clip the following editorial from last week's Christian at Work:
"Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, whose indefatigable pluck has raised him from a poor boy to a reputed fortune of half a million, is an example of what can be done by fair dealing and persistent effort. He has the largest organ factory in the country, and makes from 50 to 60 instruments daily." Washington Star.
