He came from a noted old family. Jacob McKinney, his grandfather, built the second house In what ts now the city of Blnghamton, and was the business partner of Joshua Whitney, early resident of Broome county. The Rev.

Sabin McKinney, father of Corliss, a graduate of leading state educational Institutions, settled In Blnghamton. He married Elisabeth Shelton Corliss, a sister of George H. Corliss, of Corliss engine fame. Corliss McKinney was born at Fredonla, Chautauqua county, Jan. 6.

1S4S. He attended the public schools of Blnghamton. graduating from the old Blnghamton Central High school with the class, of 186B, and then entered Union College, graduating In 1 869 with a degree of civil engineer. He passed examinations held hern, to begin his career as an associate of Isaac G. Ferry, a leading architect of that day, in this city.

Mr. McKinney established his own office as an architect in 1872 and for six years he was busy with designing structures, Including the Rockwell store In Oneonta; the S. Mills Kly wholesale grocery store at Prospect avenue and North Depot street: the McDonald house on Murray street; the Bates house on Front street, and the Bump house on Chenango street. He left Blnghamton In 1878 to de- I sign an opera house at Watervllle. and he also engaged In professional work at Hoosick Falls and Albany.

He then came into renewed association with Mr. Perry, who hod become commissioner In charge of the erection of the slate Capitol, at Albany. After leaving the state em- ployment Mr. McKinney designed the ceiling in the Assembly chamber of the Capitol. He resided for a while at l'hclps where he was engaged professionally and also was superintendent of the waterworks.

He returned to Blnghamton to resume architecture and also civil engineering. He has been credited with the passing of the years with construction of some of the finest commercial and Industrial buildings, and homes. His line workmanship is seen in many old buildings today. Perhaps the finest example or ms work is the celling of St. Patrick's church, done while he was tissocl- ated with Perry.

Since 1916 Mr. McKlnney's offices have been In The Blnghamton Press building. And he had kept pace with the develop- I I 1 cities, some of them much larger than Blnghamton, for the possible location of their new branch plant Tha' they finally chose Blnghamton la due solely, according to Chamber of Commerce directors, to tho efforts put forth by Manager Wiles and the various committees drafted into service for the work. Officers of tha cigar company made several trips to Blnghamton during the i progress of the negotiations. They Inspected local cigar factory buildings with a view to determining whether or not they were suited for the purposes of their! company.

Local plants were in every case found un-sulted to the needs of the concern Some were not large enough, while others were not of sufficiently strong construction to withstand the weight and vibration of the heavy machinery used by the General Cigar Co. Finally, after officers of the concern refused further to consider the purchase or lease of a local building, the Chamber of Commerce offered to erect a suitable structure for the company's needs, if agreeable arrangements could be made for financing the project. With this proposition the Interest of the cigar company's officers was again aroused in Blnghamton. They complimented the local chamber officers on their initiative and spirit, and renewed the negotiations. Has More Than 40 Plants.

Merrilees. The Industry has enjoyed a good year and looks forward to another 12 months equally prosperous, the officers say. tlons will be prepared by the company's own architects and engineers. This new Industry, which probably will have an annual payroll of $1,500,000 or more. Is expected to bring several hundred additional families to Blnghamton, according to Manngr Wiles.

It will rank among the largest Industries In the city when In full operation. Its closest rival, In the number of em ployes, will be tho Dunn-McCarthy shoe manufocturiiig company. It to said. The latter concern employs from 1,200 to 1.500 persons. Wiles believes this new Industry will have a nmrked effect on the commercial and mercantile life of the city, and also will tend to stimulate realty transactions and Improve real estate values in general.

Officers of the company say that every effort will be made to complete the- new factory building as soon as possible, with a view to the beginning of manufacturing operations by July 1, or earlier.

It Js expected that the Chamber of Commerce industrial development fund, created last year for financing new Industries, will play a big part In providing the needed capital for building the plant.

Thtrty-flve years ago Binghamton's output of cigars was the second largest In the country. With between 5,000 and 10,000 persons employed In and allied trades, the industry was the biggest in thg community. Then came the ptgarmakers" strike of 1891, when (he tradesmen asked for more pay. The Increase was refused by the manufacturers. The strike lasted about 18 montfhs, causing much hardship and suffering to the workers, their families, and others dependent on the industry.

Merchants, realty men, financiers and others declare this strike caused a setback in the city's progress from which It has never fully recovered. Millions of dollars in wages were lost to the community and the cigar industry also suffered huge losses. Strike Hart Far Reaching Effect. The strike had Its effect on building trades, realty values and development, mercantile trade, and the general business and professional life of the community. Construction in almost all lines came to a virtual standstill, general trade conditions were dull, and employment was slack for many years.

The number of persons employed in the cigar making trades dropped off steadily, until today there are less than 1,000 workers in local factories. I With the opening of the new branch of the General Cigar however, it is expected that Blng hamton will make a big stride toward regaining the city's lost prestige and leadership in the cigar making industry. Officers of the Chamber of Commerce believe that hundreds of new workers with. their families, will come to the city, and a marked increase In population probably will result. Realty men declare that houses and apartments In Blnghamton are likely to be at a premium after the opening of the industry.

The new Industry was obtained for Blnghamton solely through the efforts of Manager Jay B. Wiles and other officers and committees of the Chamber of Commerce. Negotiations looking to the location of a branch plant of the General Cigar Co, In Blnghamton began last June, when Manager Wiles attempted to Interest the concern in the advantages of this city for an Industry of this kind. Negotiations Kitended Over Months. For months these negotiations hung fire and the outlook for obtaining the new industry seemed "lore or less hopeless on a number of occasions, it Is said.

It is known ihat officials of the cigar company considered a score or more of other for Blnghamton and Vicinity: Cloudy lt partly cloudy sky with fair weather lonlght and Tuesday; lowest temperature about Iti degrees abore tero, pos-sildy lower If the ky is rlear.

Machines are uu migeiy in tne production of the output of this concern. It is understood that a. desire to concentrate the manufacture of its product, with a view to cutting the general overhead costs entering into the operation of such a large number of plants, had considerable bearing on the decision of the company to establish a big branch factory in Blnghamton. Officers of the concern look forward to the erection of one or more additional units to the local plant In future years, to be as large or larger than the first factory, if ther attain the success here that is expected.

Among these advantages. Wiles and Chamber committees pointed to the splendid transportation facilities of the city, including the railroads and the network of good highways: the excellent situation here regarding the labor supply; fcllltles for electric light and power, gas, water and other public services; the city's fine school system, numerous parks and other recreational facilities, and the general high moral tone of the community. All of these qualifications, together with many others, seemed to have a strong bearing on the flnsl decision of thei cigar company officers to locate In Blnghamton, according to Wiles. Several Sites Considered. Several prospective sites for the plant were considered by officers of the company who visited the various locations, accompanied by a special committee from the Chamber nf Commerce.

The ground at Main and Emma streets, owned by Kdward Hanrahan and others, was finally chosen as Ideal for the company's purpose. It Is understood that the purchase price was somewhere be-tween $50,000 and JKn.000. The property Is assessed at $39,100. The site is bounded on the south by Main street, on the west by Emma street, and on the north by the Lackawanna railroad right-of-way.
