Hansen, Salem pioneer business man. Inspects real estate sign at the leveled-eff site where Hansen's eld, historical weed- working mill stood for 50 years The mill, oldest of its kind in Andrew M. Hansen One of Last Of Salem Industrial Pioneers By CONRAD G. PBANGE Staff Writer, The Statesman " All that's left of one of Salem's pioneer industries is one slim, little grayhaired man with a mighty twinkle in his clear eyes and ready quip on his tongue. He is Andrew M. Hansen, facturing concern which spanned some 65 years of Salem's history. The firm is dissolved now and even the building which housed the historic plant was torn down re- cently. But "Andy" Hansen still re sides with his wife in the large, old-fashioned. house he built 50 years ago at 562 Mill St over looking the southwest corner of Mill and South Church Streets. "I've lived in Salem 81 years now," said the 85-year-old Hansen the other day. "I used o always tell people I could never get ahold of enough money to get out of town. I knew all the old-timers and called 'em all by name." Mill Street Steep He looked out onto the abrupt incline of Mill Street there. "When I first moved my shop to this corner," he said, "there were no businesses and not many houses in this end of town. Mill Street was so steep you could barely drive a team up the street I got the city street commissioner to grade the road and I helped with funds of my own." 'There was no bridge on Church Street over Mill Creek, either," he added. "I got in on that project too. Many winters this whole section would flood and the floor of my mill would be under a couple of feet of water." He first entered business when he "bought into" the Churchill Sash and Door Co. 65 years ago. Parts of that old brick building still remain at the corner of High and Trade Streets. Several moves, several partners and seven years later found the firm in a large wooden structure on High and Mill Streets. Moves Plant Site Then Hansen decided to relo cate the plant on his property at the corner of Church and Mill Streets, where it was to remain for nearly 50 years. 'The building was too big to move down the Mill Street hill," Hansen recalls. "So we just cut it in half and moved it one section at a time. Then we stacked one half on top of the other half and made a two story building out of it." 'That was when I badgered the city into improving Mill Street" The mill flourished, HanseiTre members, and at the peak of op erations "I can't recall how many years ago," it employed 75 men. Salem was expanding and much of the local construction used, and probably still contains, nearly all of the Hansen mill output of sashing, doors and planing lum ber. Gives Away Plans During one period, in order to encourage purchase of lumber products, Hansen drew and gave I away house plans to customers. at Mill and South Church Streets, Salem, was torn down recently. founder of a sash-and-door manu "Went over big," he remembers. In later years a new partner ship started and the mill, by now the oldest of its kind in Salem, was known as Hansen and Lilje quist. Inc. t Otto H. Goff, 337 N. Cottage St, a former employe at the mill, recalls that Hansen was well-liked by bis employes. In 1946 the Statesman ran a picture of Han sen and a group of his employes who had given him a large cake on his birthday. Last year Hansen sold the mill and site. The historical structure was torn down and now the ground is leveled and ready for a new building.! Meanwhile Mr. and Mrs. Han sen, a pair of i Salem's rapidly vanishing old-timers,, still have a hearty and cheerful greeting for all who drop in on them at their house overlooking the old mill site. Eisenhower, Taf t Play Golf AUGUSTA, Ga UP) President Eisenhower and Senate Republican Leader Taft played 18 holes of golf Sunday but "their scores were so bad" they kept them secret White House Press Secretary James C.
