The present day location of this image would be north of Morgan Avenue and between Jackson Boulevard and Indiana Avenue near the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway Company tracks.

In 1897, a branch of the Warren Featherbone Company of Three Oaks, Michigan, was established at Chesterton; it remained in operation only a few years. In January 1905, the property passed into the hands of the Sall Mountain Asbestos Manufacturing Company, a manufacturer of rubber and mica roofing, as well as fire-proofing materials. In 1912, Sall Mountain Asbestos Manufacturing Company had 105 employees. The company ceased operations in Chesterton in 1923.

Between 1990 and 1996, a city park (Jackson Park) was located on this site. The park was permanently closed and play equipment removed when it was discovered that three locations in the park tested positive for asbestos at a depth of six to twelve inches in concentrations as high as 30 percent.

A concrete skate park was installed at the location and opened for use in 2010. A parking lot was also established at the west end of the site to allow better access to the Prairie Duneland Trail.

The October 11, 1895, issue of the Chesterton Tribune, contains this column concerning this site:

A NEW INDUSTRY FOR PORTER.
The Warren Featherbone Company Buys the Brass Factory.

The Warren Featherbone Company, of Three Oaks, Mich., have purchased the Brass Works and taken possession. The sake was made last week, and Monday morning the company sent a foreman here to prepare the plant for operation. The boilers were put in repair, and the building containing the foundry is being floored and changed into a room suitable for the manufacture for featherbone. E. K. Warren, president, expects to start up with a force of fifty within ten days, the only thing to prevent being the inability to get machinery placed. This concern has a large business, and now work a force of 275 at Three Oaks. It also has a factory in Paris, France. The object of coming to Porter was not, as the president emphatically states, to leave Three Oaks, but to establish another plant. That factory has grown to the capacity of the town to furnish help. The buildings are of frame. The company wisely concluded that two factories separated were better than one in a fire. All the machinery used in the manufacture of featherbone is made by the company, and cannot be bought on the market. A great deal of this will be made at the Porter plant. The great attraction here was the wonderful shipping facilities. The Featherbone Company gets feathers from all over the United States, and now have the largest collection of quills on earth — the product of forty million turkeys. It is the intention to to ship direct to Porter, work up the heavy portion here, and do the finishing at Three Oaks. The concern largely employ women, but also uses a number of men. They expect to be working a force of 100 by spring.

One thing about the concern that deserves attention: Its president came here, paid a fair price in cash for the plant, asked for no bonus, and began business at once. Other towns have tried to induce the company to move, but, as Mr. Warren said, "Unless I had business in a town, I would not go to it for all the money its people were worth. I am not in the manufacturing business for bonus."

Such concerns rarely fail. They come to stay. The brick company is the same. Of all the bonused companies that have come here, not one survived the first cold blast. We want no more of them.

The following news item concerning the Warren Featherbone Company appeared in the July 24, 1890, issue of The Tribune:

The Warren Featherbone company of Three Oaks, Mich., is looking for a new location. They claim their capacity for securing help in Three Oaks has reached its limit and the proprietors are unable to find a sufficient number of women and girls to keep up with their orders, and want to get into a town where they can get plenty of female help. Chesterton don’t want a girl managed factory. We’re no "she-town" and don’t want to be. Those who ever have been in a Massachusetts "she-town" know what one is. Give us factories that emply [sic] able-bodied men and keep the women folks at home, where they belong.

The following news item concerning the Henning Pickle Plant appeared in the May 8, 1903, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:

THE PICKLE INDUSTRY.
The Pickle Industry. Engaging the Attention of Farmers Here. Factory Will Locate if Sufficient Acreage is Contracted For.

A meeting of farmers was held in the Town Hall last Tuesday night, the result of which may prove of far-reaching effect for this community in the future. Wm. Henning and his two sons were here to meet he farmers and tell them what they knew regarding the growing of cucumbers for factory purposes, and to engage them if possible in that industry. The Hennings are extensive packers of pickles, and desire to start a factory here. Mr. Hennings said that his experience in the raising of cucumbers was that the rows should be planted about three feet, eight inches apart, and planted with a corn planter. The reason for this was that a cucumber was 85 per cent. water and 15 per cent. fiber, and that it was necessary to retain all the moisture possible in the ground, and that when planted in this manner the vines completely covered the ground and the leaves prevented the sun from absorbing the moisture. The crop must be planted between the first and sixth of June, and about the 24th of July picking beings. To get the best results the vines should be picked daily, except during unfavorable weather. During warm, moist nights the cucumber will grow an inch and a half, but when the weather is cool and dry they will not grow so fast. Two persons can pick an acre, and the price paid ranges from 5 cents a bushel to 15 cents. The cucumbers must be brought to the factor the same day they are picked, otherwise they have a tendency to wilt and mould, and decrease in weight. The factor contracts to pay 50 cents a bushel for factory pickles, which are 3 1/2 inches or less in length. If contracts for 200 acres can be made, the Hennings will at once begin the erection of a factory in Chesterton, to cost about ,000, and have it ready for business in time for the coming crop. Letters were read from leading banks of Chicago, one of them signed by Ex-Comptroller of the Treasury Eckells, saying that the Hennings were thoroughly reliable, and would carry out anything they agreed to do. These letters were addressed to Banker Jeffrey, and read by him.

The farmers present were from Waverly, Portage township, Liberty township, Jackson township, and from this neighborhood. They asked questions freely, and showed a keen interest in the matter. The greatest fear expressed was that it would be difficult to obtain pickers, but it was pointed out that the season was during school vacation and after the berry crop was out of the way, and that the pay would attract a large class from the neighboring villages and towns, who could not do factory work. Mr. Henning said that his people furnished the farmers the seed at cost. The present price of seed is ,25 a pound, owing to a shortage in the supply, but that his company was fortunate enough to have bought a large supply at a pound, at which price it would be furnished to his patrons, and that the pay for the same could be made after the crop was grown and money was due the growers. It requires about four pounds of seed to plant an acre with a planter, some of it being wasted, but the saving in labor overcomes the difference in cost between this and hand planting. When the time came to get down to business, James Hamilton said: "I want to see the factory come here, and for one, I will start the ball rolling with a contract for an acre." For nearly an hour Mr. Henning’s son was kept busy writing out contracts, and Mr. Hannings returned to Chicago that same night, so we can only give a few of those we can remember. These are L. G. Furness, James Hamilton, Millard Green, Edward Danielson, Frank Stevens, George Bigelow, Seneca Bigelow, Nels Olson, O. W. Peterson.

The Hennings will make a personal canvas of this territory for the purpose of making contracts during the next few days, and may call another meeting. Unless the required acreage is obtained all contract made will be void, and it is necessary that they must be made within the next ten days, so that those who have made them can get ready for planting or use their ground for other purposes. It will be seen that the Hennings are taking about all of the risk from the fact that if they do come here they furnish the growers with seed to cost about 0 for 200 acres, and if it is a failure they lose that. Besides, they must spend ,000 in buildings, and unless the farmers can make money this year these buildings would be practically a total loss to the company. So they must be sure that the growers will make money and increase the acreage every year. The farmers of this neighborhood have a chance to experiment on the money of the Hennings. That is practically was the proposition amounts to, and all they can lose, at the very worst, is a little time. We hope the contracts can be made, and that the factory will come. Now is the time to get busy. The proposition is up to the farmers.

Chesterton Chips.
A representative of Reid, Murdock & Co., was again here Saturday, making contracts with farmers for pickle growing this summer. Wednesday he had contracts for 125 acres signed. The company wants contracts for two hundred acres signed, after they will come here, erect a pickling works, and make up the product. The contract price is 60 cents a bushel for cucumbers 3½ inches long and under, and 20 cents a bushel for those over that size. Contract blacks have been left at the stores of Johnson Bros., and Wm. Diddie. Those desiring to make contracts can do so by calling on these firms.

Mr. Norris, representing the Reid, Murdoch Co., of Chicago, was in town Tuesday and informed the Tribune that his company had decided to erect the pickle factory here, to be located on the grounds formerly chosen by the Heinz people two years ago near the Featherbone factory. Bids for the construction of the buildings have been sent in by local contractors, and work will commence as soon as the contract has been let, and the building will be finished in time for this year[s] crops along about the last of August or first of September. The farmers who have contracted for acreage are receiving their seeds this week, and those who have not yet received their share are requested to call at J. A. Johnson & Bro. store, or at J. H. Busse’s store at Porter. The company is also furnishing tobacco dust, for use on the plants as they come through the ground, to destroy bugs.

The new pickle factory is about read for the new crop. It is fitted up in the very latest style, and has a capacity for handling several hundred acres of cucumbers.

The following news item concerning the Reid, Murdock & Company pickle plant appeared in the August 26, 1904, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:

Chesterton Chips.
These are busy days at the pickle factory. Every evening and morning long strings of teams are in line awaiting their turn to unload at the factory, and the growers talk as though they had struck a good thing. In conversations with Charley Holm Monday night, he said that up to that time he had sold worth of pickles from once acre, and that his prospects are now that he would get more money from his acre of pickles that he possible [sic; possibly] could from twenty acres of corn. On the low lands the drouth did no harm, and since the rains the vines on the highlands have picked up wonderfully and are yielding well. If frosts keeps off three weeks more the growers will come out of their adventure with a good profit. At present the factory is taking in about two hundred bushels of pickles a day. The pay is 60 cents for fifty pounds of pickles. It is now quite possible that next year the acreage will be more than doubled.

The vats look as though they had hardly been touched. Next year it is expected that the crop gathered at this station will be three times as large as it was this year. Farmers are getting ready for the coming crop right this time, as they know how now.

A NEW INDUSTRY SECURED.
The Sall Mountain Asbestos Mfg. Co. Buys the Featherbone Property.
Will Enlarge the Plant and Soon to be in Operation.

Immediately upon his return from Massachusetts in September, Mr. Darling, president of the Porter Land Co., got into correspondence with the owners of the Featherbone plant, which resulted in his having the property placed into the hands for disposal. Among the several buyers to whom he showed the property, one especially, the Sall Mountain Asbestos Mfg. Co., proved to be the strongest financially and from every business standpoint. After a thorough examination of the property and surroundings the above named company decided to purchase, although the present buildings do not contain more than one half the capacity they will require, and two large additional buildings are to be constructed by the coming spring. Monday C. K. Warren was here, when all details were decided upon with the principals, and possession is to be given in thirty days. They pay all cash for the property and ask for no concession.

The members of the Sall Mountain Asbestos Mfg. Co. consist of J. W. Bingham, of Milwaukee, president; C. M. Clarke, Chicago, general manager; C. E. Cook, secretary, and —?— Wilson superintendent. Within thirty days the company expects to begin the removal of some portion of their Chicago works, although alterations and enlargements of the buildings may cause further delay. By January 1st, they expect to begin the manufacture of their roofing product in the east building.

On Oct. 29, 1899, Mr. Clark started the present business by the employment of two men, he doing the office work, and the business has steadily grown until at the present time they are employing 83 men at wages ranging from to a day. Mr. Clarke says he will bring 35 skilled men, mostly men with families, from Chicago, at the start, and that the general office force will also be located at their Porter works.

The following news item appeared in the November 17, 1904, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:

The Warren Featherbone Deal Consummated.
On Thursday of last week the abstract for the Warren Featherbone property near Porter Junction, Ind., was accepted by the purchasers of that property, the Sall Mountain Asbestos Mfg. Co., of Chicago, the deed was passed and the property was paid for in full. The deed has become of record at Valparaiso and names ,000 cash as the purchase price of the property.

Thus the Warren Featherbone Co. of Porter, Ind, passes into history, and one of the largest and most prosperous manufacturing companies in Chicago takes its place, which immediately insures a new era in the history of Porter’s industrial center.

J. T. Darling, president of the Porter Land Co., is entitled to the highest congratulations from every one interested in the development of Porter county for his untiring efforts in ensuring a manufactory which means so much to the future of our community.

It will be recalled that, nine years ago, Mr. Darling made strenuous efforts to secure the Stromberg Carlson Telephone Co. for the original works known as the American Brass Co., subsequently the Warren Featherbone Co., but at that time he did not have the necessary cooperation to carry out his plans. Since that time it has developed that the Stromberg Carleson Co. has grown into an organization now employing in Chicago, and in their country plant near Syracuse, New York, more than 2,500 hands. All of which Porter should have had and would have had if Mr. Darling had received the cooperation to which he was entitled at that time. Had Westchester secured the Stromberg Carleson Telephone Co. in 1895 we would have had a city of Twelve thousand souls now, with much modern facilities and advantages as only a city can command. Let every citizen of our community put his should to the wheel and help the cause along.

He says however that he has now secured a company which promises equal developments as those which the former company have experienced, and he speaks advisedly when he says that the Sall Mountain Asbestos Mfg. Co. will have their entire property, five acres, covered with manufacturing buildings within five years if they secure the hearty cooperation of Porter county people which means the construction for houses for their employes.

Mr. Clarke, manager of the company, says emphatically that they are not house buildings, that they are manufacturers straight from the shoulder and propose to push the developing interests just as fast as they are able to meet them.

They are removing from Chicago primarily for the reason that they are cramped for space at their present location, and that they move out on account of excessively high rents and with the expectation that they can manufacture their goods much cheaper than they have heretofore been doing.

Their rents and cartage bills for the past year have amounted to about ,000. Quite a little saving in itself, when they get their Porter works into operation.

Before January 1st it is their intention to have one building constructed along the entire north end of their combination of buildings, 147 feet in length by 45 feet in width, for a shipping department lying broadside with their private switch.

They have also completed plans for the construction of another building to the east of the Featherbone storage building, to be used in connection with the last named building for the manufacture of their roofing products. The storage building is to be somewhat remodeled so as to admit of the setting up of two machines which weigh 40 tons each.

Thus the music of the trowel, the saw and the hammer will soon be heard and rapid developments may be confidently expected.

The following news item appeared in the December 15, 1904, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:

Porter Pointers.
President Clark and Superintendent Wilson, of the Sal Mountain company, were here last Thursday night, and spent the greater part of the night making plans for the preparation of the buildings for their plant, which will be removed here from Chicago immediately after the holidays. The electric plant was running, and the entire factory was heated and lighted for them. The carpenters are nearly done with their new building, and they will soon be out of the way. A gang of men are now putting in the needed steam fittings, and getting everything ready for the move. The Chicago plant is overwhelmed with orders, and it has been impossible to begin tearing down the machinery until after the holidays, but when the work does begin, it will be rushed. The company is highly pleased over the fact that there will be no trouble in getting help here, and is very anxious to get started so that the men booked can go to work. The community is very fortunate in getting such a good concern here, and appreciates the fact very much.

The following news item appeared in the January 7, 1905, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:

CHESTERTON ITEMS.
The Sall Mountain Asbestos M’nf’g Company is now busily engaged in placing its machinery in the plant formerly occupied by the Warren Featherbone company. They are putting in a twenty ton roofing machine and one receiving tank in the east building. This department will be devoted to the manufacture of Reliance Rubber and Mica Roofing. The west building is being fitted up for the manufacture of asbestos pipe covering, and the numerous other articles made of asbestos materials. The north building, just completed by contractor Ameling, is to be used as the shipping department. Two large tanks and a furnace are being placed in the shed east of the east building, for melting the composition used in the work. Every inch of space in the plant is to be utilized. An air compressor is to be installed this week. Mr. Wilson, the superintendent, is out here this week, directing the work. Mr. Clark, the general manager of the concern, is very anxious to have the plant started up at once, as the rush season is now over, and the change can be made better now than later, but the immense amount of preparatory work to be done renders it impossible to say just when the start will be made, but it will not be later than the middle of February, we have reason to believe.

The following news item appeared in the February 2, 1905, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:

LOCAL NEWS OF THE WEEK
The Sal Mountain Asbestos Mfg. Co, have begun dismantling their Chicago plant, now located on Ontario street and by the first of the coming week several cars loads of machinery will be in transit to their new works, formerly the Warren Featherbone Works. During the past two months Contractor Ameling has been constructing new buildings and remodeling the old ones preparatory for the new industry, and a complete plant is now ready for the Chicago equipment. On Friday last Manager Clark informed Mr. J. T. Carling that they hoped to go through the complete transition by March 1, and at that time, to be manufacturing their full line of products in their new works. Mr. Clark expressed much gratification over the outlook and is in hopes to be able to command sufficient labor, unskilled and skilled, to enable the development of their business as rapidly as their growing trade demands. This is the most favorable opportunity for the installation of a new industry as the temporary surplus of labor caused by the destruction of the brick yards, can be utilized until that plant is rebuilt and new conditions adjust themselves.
