To the Editor of the Press:
Dear Sir:-Since the fire which recently
occurred at our works in Elizabethport, N.
j., we have received numerous offers of new
sites for factory, and many people whose
time is of great value are going to trouble
and expense in getting up offers of special
inducements and concessions. viii you per-
NIT us to use your columns In making such a
statement as will save our friends and repre-
sentatives from any further anxiety or
trouble on this score.
No essential part of the machinery neces-
sary to produce complete machines was de-
stroyed. We are today turning out a full
quota of all our regular and special machines
and filling all orders In regular course.
We are already rebuilding the compare
lively small section of the building which
was damaged GALL buildings save that ole be-
ing untouched) and we are rapidly replacing
the machinery for needles and accessories
which was destroyed. Even of these we
shall have sufficient supply to fill ali orders
We therefore expect to carry on our works
without material interruption Just where
they are. and any present attempt to remove
would cause more inconvenience than the
fire.
