Mr. Good became connected with the Geiser plant about twenty-five years ago. He was formerly a merchant in Waynesboro and in addition to his executive duties with the Geiser Company he is a director in the People's Bank, of Waynesboro. Mr. Good is thoroughly representative of the younger blood in the company and is a man of progressive ideas and a believer in modern methods. Waynesboro recognizes him as one of its most public spirited men, and he is ever ready and willing to assist in any public enterprise.

Mr. Oiler, the treasurer and general manager, is a son of the Rev. Bishop J.F. Oiler, and a member of the company in the earlier years of its existence. He is president of the Bank of Waynesboro and is noted for his conservatism and high business integrity.

The Geiser Company officials are the principal promoters in the city's new electric street railway, and in many other ways are active in promoting the interests of their city and section.

With such great industries as the Geiser Company and the Frick Company as the basis of its prosperity, Waynesboro is not only a manufacturing city of present importance, but its future growth and continuous development are assured.

(Note: The end came to the Geiser plant in 1945 when it burned to the ground, all but the brick building and the office building, which are still there [Dec. 1990] as far as I know. This is what I was told by a man from Waynesboro, Pa.R. E. Sams.)
