"April 1 was a red letter day in the history of the Morse Chain Company and the special significance which attaches to that day is contained in an article published in the current issue of the South Hill Echo on the construction and progress of the Morse Plant since it was started in Ithaca on April 1, 1925.
In searching for material, the Echo representative interviewed P. C. Colt, who was timekeeper on the construction when it began and was intimately in touch with every detail of the work. Mr. Colt explained that at the time South Hill was a 'wilderness,' and only a few curious persons strayed up the hill to see what was going on in 'no man's land.'
Of special interest to the inquisitive were the boilers that had been shipped during the previous fall and were stored on the grounds about where the coal pile is not located. The supervising architect was A. B. Wood, a well-known Ithaca architect, and designer of many buildings in the city, some of which are the Immaculate Conception Church, the old high school building and the lower Lehigh Valley station.
'The first building of the factory was the shed on the east side of the upper switch; this was the office and storage building used during the construction. When the work started on April 1, 1905, the railroad switch to that point was just being completed, so that the lumber and building materials could be unloaded near the building operations....
'Just what the establishment means to use as employes[sic] and to the city as well, in dollars and cents is well worth consideration. For the period beginning April 1, 1905, and ending March 31, 1925, the payroll of the Morse Industries totals $10,773,585.43 The present average payroll of the Morse Industries is over one and three quarters millions of dollars per year."
