Two Enormous Smelters Operated by
Natural Gas.

Missouri is noted for its famous zinc
mines, near Joplin, and about seventy
miles distant from Joplin, in the heart of
the natural gas belt of Kansas, two
enormous zinc smelters owned by two
mammouth st. Louis zinc companies, who
use this natural gas for fuel. turn out
five thousand tons per month of product
which is known as virgin spelter and
these brands of zinc are favocably known
throughout the entire country. Much of
this virgin spelter has found market in
England. and both of the st. Louis houses
are large exporters.
The zinc industry OF Missouri has been
monopolized by st. Louis, and St Louis
is the market from which 1t is shipped.
The zinc business here has increased
to very large proportions in recent years.
The local output of this metal has been
enjoying a steady rise since the panic of
1898, and to-day zinc is selling for more
than twice as much per pound than it did
in that year. This enormous increase in
price Is due to the increase in consump-
ton by European countces. some of
which rely upon this city for zinc.

CHAMPAGNE FIT
FOR AN EMPEROR
Cultivation Has Made the American
Grape the Equal of the French.

An excellent champagne, agreeable ban
quet, good efferyescence and delicious
flavor. which is generally considered the
best in the United States and preferred
by many to the imported champagnes, is
made in st. Louis. The grapes are press
ed at Sandusky, O., and the juice is ship
pee to st. Louis in barrels, and the re-
naming process of making champagne
is done here.
The best champagne grape of this coun-
try comes from the Lake Erie district, in
Ohio. 1t is a peculiar grape, and the st.
Louis house has been using this grape
ing the highest prices for this grape the
men who raise it have been encouraged
to cultivate and improve the proper kind
payne, until now it is probably as well
fitted for making champagne as any
French grape.
The business of this house has been
gradually increasing for the past forty
years. and it now does large business

BRICK MACHINES.
Manufactures the Best Dry Pressed
Brick Machines.

The clay in certain parts of the suburbs
of st. Louis cannot be surpassed any
where in the world for making brick.
and it is natural that we should have a
large mandatory here that makes the
finest dry pressed brick-making machines
in the world.
St. Louis is great distributing point
for brick-making machines, and is rep
resented here by firms from other cities.
but there is only one firm that makes
their own machines, and they are doing a
business all over the entire country and
into Mexico. and so rapidly has the fame
of this celebrated machine for making
dry pressed brick grown that they are
now about to begin a large. expert trade
with the nations of the old world. In
connection with their press they mako a
patent mold box, which has been adopted
by a large number of brick manuiact-
urer5 who use other machines.
This company makes all the machines
used In the brick business, such as their
patent clay pulverizer and clay mixer.
Their trade is rapidly increasing. and
their machines have made st. Louis ia
nous as a place for making the best
pressed brick machine, as well as the
city where the best pressed brick in the
world is made.

The six wholesale manufacturers of
paint in st. Louis are fortunate in the
fact that this city manufacturers more
white lead than any other city in the
United States. And IN the past few
years the number of paint houses has
been. reduced by consolidation with one

more prosperous than it is at present, and
