with view of concentrating its Cecil
county business at North East, extensive
Improvements were made to the plant
there, involving an expenditure of up

Improvements involved the very material
consideration of ample and cheap power
Heretofore the out put there has been
somewhat restricted in quantity, and
necessarily increased in cost by the
limited quantity of steam power furnished
by three boilers of fifteen horse power
each, one set of sheet rolls being run by
water power. The inadequate boilers
have been supplanted by three latest
improved Babcock & Wilcox boilers of
one hundred and fifty horse power each
and which are heated by the fires of the
heating furnaces. This change has secured
an increased power Of over fou, hundreG
horse power with cor, expanding i'll

less contributed to the general prosperity
of our people. 1t would be an interesting
aggregate to compute, how many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars this COM
pany has distributed to our skilled me
chanics and laboring men, during the
forty five years it has existed and during
which time, marked by periodic alterna
tons of prosperity and depression in the
iron interests of this country, it has ever
maintained its supremacy in the sheet

aware that much speculation has been
INDUCED as to the probable general sub
stitution of sheet steel, manufactured at
a less cost by rapid and cheapened pro
cesses of manufacture. and put upon the
market at a lower price than charcoal
bloom sheet iron But if we are correctly
informed, numerous instances can be
cited, in which large consumers of sheet
iron, who had substituted cheaper steel
sheets, are returning to the use of char
coal sheet iron, as in the aggregate
cheaper than its lower priced competitor.
While it is doubtless true that for many
uses the cheaper steel sheet has in
measure supplanted the higher priced
charcoal sheet yet where the tenacity
and malleabiity of the charcoal process
sheet is considered there must exist for
it an increasing demand based upon its
and durability.
