EXCELSIOR MATCH FACTORY.
The Method Employed by the New Enter
prise at Deering.

The PRESS has already spoken OF the
new match factory, the Excelsior, located
at Westbrook Junction, in which Messrs.
Milliken & Co. ARE interested and whose
manufacturing and mechanical depart
ments are in the hands of Mr. Charles Il.
Seaman, employing so bands or more
1t is interesting to note the difference be-
tween the old and the new method OF
manufacturing Ethe card match. Accord
ing to the old system, the lumber. had TO
be sawed into planks, and then cut into
short blocks which were steamed for the
purpose of making them soft They
were then sashed into doublescard planks,
then dried and sawed in two; after this
they were run through machine to size
them to the exact width and were then
put in q machineJ to notch them so as to
make the points and then passed through
contrivance which split the matches.
From this they were taken to racks in
which theyiwere arranged for. the dipping
process
Workmen in the Excelsior factory take
round log and put it into machine
which cuts it in strip as wide as the
length of two matches, and of the thick
ness of one match. The length of the
strips varies according to the size of the
log, some being % feet and some 200.
These strips are then run through ma
chine which cuts the match, points it,
splits it, and divides it up into double
cards of an exact width. These double
cards are then dried, sawed in two, and
put in the rack for dipping. After being
dipped in the preparation OF phospho-
rous ETC., they are taken by girls and
packed in cases ready for the market
This new process. invented by Mr.. Scam
mon, is protected in the patent Office and
is so effective in operation as to enable
25 workers to produce the same amount
of matches in day that could be pro-
duced by $50 workers under the old.sys-
tenn. The Excelsior people are quite con-
fident that they can turn out 1000 gross
of matches in day, which, allowing IL, :
24S to the gross, means 3.s48, 900 matches
every working day.
The company claims the merits OF the
new matches consist in their great
strength, their white and clearer appear
ance and in superior burning qualities.
The Excelsior Match Company's factory
is equipped throughout with electric
lights, the Walworth sprinkling system,
and the underwriters chemical extin-
guisher for protection from fire. The
