The Fiberite Factory

Mr.. Charles A. Brown returned from
Portland, Friday morning. lie informs
the REPORTER that the Skowhegan Fiber
lite factory is not included in the Lock
port Combination but the Portland fac
tory is. The Skowhegan factory will be
run on specialties and quite extended
improvements are to be made to manu-
facture the light colored ware, pals, tubs
etc.
To do this it will be necessary to con
struct ovens for baking the ware and they
must be apart from the other works. The
treatment is different and the machinery
to be used in pressing the ware must be
very much larger than that now in use.
This line of work will be in addition To
the other heretofore done. Mr.. Brown
hopes to get started by the middle of
January.
