Instead, Hitchcock Chair is very much alive, with sales this year expected to be more than $40 million, compared to $3 million 10 years ago. The company is an anomaly, one of a handful of New England furniture makers that has not folded or moved south to the Carolinas. Kenney, who died last year at age 71, was 33 and just out of the Corps in 1946 when he came Marine to this quaint country village in Connecticuts northwest corner to catch some trout in the Farmington River. He stayed at the Old Riverton Inn called Ives Tavern Riverton Inn called Ives Tavern when established in 1796 and ate in the inns Cat Nip Mouse Tearoom. Across the river from the inn, standing in ruins and chocked with weeds, was the abandoned Hitchcock Chair Co. plant, built in 1826. Kennedy was intrigued. The Hitchcock name range a bell: One of his wedding gifts was an antique Hitchcock chair manufactured in that very plant. Leland Hitchcock has sometimes been called Americas greatest chair maker. He build chairs in that factory from 1826 to 1840, when the biggest furniture company in the nation. After Hitchcock sold his interest, the chair company continued until 1864. Then it became a ruler factory until, after 1900, it was aban- Half of Hitchcock Chairs business today is from the sale of reproductions of Leland Hitchcocks original-desig- n chairs. The other half is from bedroom, living room and dining room furniture. Annie Caine, 58, makes chair seats out of female leaves of the cattail plant, as she has for 31 years, weaving three to four seats each day using 3 pounds of rush per chair. Caine is one of five weavers doing a job that hasn't changed since Leland Hitchcocks time. The cattail leaves are harvested by college students in the late summer in swamps near Syracuse, N.Y. Many of the methods of manufacturing the chairs are traditional. Beatrice Osten, 69, has been a stenciler for 25 years. That craft hasnt changed much either. Floors, ceilings and walls in many homes in of the early Riverton and surrounding towns are decorated with stenciled artwork executed by moonlighting Hitchcock stencilers. Kenney had been a successful owner of four womens discount shoe stores before World War II. But, after he left the Marines, he was looking for a new career. Fascinated by the Hitchcock story, he bought the historic chair factory for $5,000, spent three years restoring it and then began reproducing copies of Hitchcocks famous chairs that carried the trademark "L. Hitchcock, Hitchcocks-ville- , Conn. Warranted, Often, the "Ns in the trademark were printed backward. Today, the "Ns in the same trademark are always stenciled backward on the companys product. stencil-decorate- INFINITY SPEAKERS INFINITY INFINTISIMAL 3 2 way speaker INIFINITYES 83 (S) speaker D(C) . - . .
