Growth of the Tin Plate Industry

NEW YORK, May 26-The Metal Worker
says: The marvellous growth of the Ameri-
can tin plate manufactures in less than four
years presents one of the most remarkable
instance of industrial growth in history.
From nothing II has become an established
industry of large proportions, which already
gives employment to 1900 hands. At the
present moment, so far as can be gathered
from the latest reports, there are in actual
operation twenty-eight tin plate mills proper,
rolling their own black plates. Ten more
are building, two or three of which are
practically complete and ready to start up,
while the majority of the others are ex-
pected to be in operation by July.

Altogether northwestern Nebraska is in bet
