From The Indianapolis Times, Wednesday, June 16, 1915: Finley P. Mount of Indianapolis, M. Rumley Co receiver, said today that no war munitions would be manufactured in Rumley plants regardless of the fact that Canadian authorities have offered contracts which might result in hundreds of thousands of dollars. As an officer appointed by the U. S. court, Mount believes it would be improper to take any such contracts. One of the Rumley plants, lying practically idle at Richmond, was rumored to be used for manufacturing shells. “I would not care to ask the court to sanction authority to buy machinery which would be necessary and start ammunition factories in unused Rumley plants. It is true there might be immense profit in it, but it is now the policy to confine Rumley manufacturing to farm machinery alone,” Mount declared.
