One of the greatest wants of Harrison Valley is a graded school.  The directors have voted twelve hundred dollars for a new school building, but they are slow in proceeding with the enterprise.  A new hardware firm has recently been organized by Messrs.

            J. W.

Y. and has lived here since 1849.  He served his country on the tented field during the war and in 1866 was elected Treasurer of Potter County.  He has been the post master here since 1869.  Mr. Stevens thinks that Harrison Valley would be a good point for a hub and spoke factory, and that there is a grand opening here for a flouring mill. 

            A little out from the valley is the shingle mill of A. A. Swetland, who manufactures from six to eight hundred thousand a year.  He is turning out as fine a quality of shingles as can be found in the market.  In addition to the shingle mill he runs a cheese factory and feed mill.  Mr. Swetland is a native of Cortland County and has been here twenty seven years.

            Half a mile below Harrison Valley is the famous tannery of Walter Horton and Company.  The resident partners are Walter G.  Garret and L. R. Johnson.  The capacity of this tannery is 275 hides a day.  Directly and indirectly the company employs 500 men.  They turn out as good a quality of sole leather as can be found in the world.  The manager of the works, Walter Garret, is a young man of rare business qualifications, and is besides, a rollicking good fellow.  The writer had a splendid two hours visit with him while waiting for the train.
