The company in Wilmington is compar-
atively new. although Mr.. Conradscn or
ganized the Gfshoit Machine Co. OF Mad
lson. Wisconsin, and invented the ma
chimes they are now MANUFACTURING
Since that time he has been in the en-
pioy of the Edward +. Allis Company
Engine works OF Milwaukee, as mechan-
ical engineer. re-arranging the mechan-
ical features OF their entire shop. He also
purchased the machinery and laid out the
mechanical arrangement OF the New YORK
Ship-bnildtng Co. at Camden, \. J. His
concern at Wilmington has been quite
successful. and orr investigators show
that during the past sixteen months their
sales have amounted 10 about SioiO-n,
covering the sales Of some seventy seven
machines. This amount Of business was
done at a profit Of about $A00 per ma
chine. They now have some 81 90 worth
OF work ON hands Mr.. Conradson feels
Quite confident that the new concern can
do a business at the least estimate OF
S-onva per year. or $50 machines, when
would show a profit OF about SHOWN. or
about $3.50 on the "A inch machines. rms
possible profit has also been confirmed by
Investigation. The selling price OF these
machines vary from is to p cents per
pound. whereas the selling price OF ordin-
AIRY machines OF similar dimensions Is
from 10 10 cents per pound. As the
profit IS large the question of demand Is
the important one. our investigators
show that the demand and the field is a
large one. and fully confirm MI conrad

Secretary Adams is after the conven-
tion of the State Retail Grocers Asso-
ciation. He wrote some days ago TO
certain influential members concerning
il. and has received a reply which VIZ
finally assures the convention to Wheei-
ing In 1902.
The next question taken up was the
inadequate water supply, as shown py
the Central glass house fire. 1t nad
been stated. said Secretary Adams, that
the present reservoir on the hill was
not safe and disastrous HOOD might
occur from a break in 1t.
Several gentlemen were called upon
by President Laughlin to give their
views. The consensus of opinion was
that there was sufficient water supply,
but the mains were inadequate and
many in bad condition. The streams
AT the glass house fire lacked force for
this latter reason. Several were OF
opinion that less palatial workhouse
and more money on new water mains
would be a good policy for the Water
Board.
