NJ. A. Seed Company Absorbed 6y
the Eastman Interests After
Four Years Negotiations.
MILLION DOLLARS IN DEAL.
Some of the Old Officers Are Re-
tanned by New Management
and Will Direct Business
of the ST. Louis Plant.

The sale was announced yesterday 0: the
u. a. Seed Dry Plate Company to the
Eastman Kodak Company. known as the
Kodak Trust. marking the first success OF
efforts extending over four years by which
the Eastman COMPANY has sought TO con-
solidate all the ST. Louis dry plate works.
the largest in the world, and also the st.
Louis Photographic supply houses which
furnish the greater part Of the Western
trade. The price paid for the Seed plant.
though not officially announced. IS said TO
have been about $4,000.
overtures have been made also 20 the
Cramer Dry Plate Company and the Ham
mer Dry Plate Company. Ernest Cramer.
vice president and treasurer OF the CrImer
Company. stated yesterday that recently
the Eastman Company made an offer. but
rs It was less than demanded. the deal was
now or. For the present the same cOEdi-
ton is said to hold for the Hammer Com
pany.
President II. J. Huisiiamp OF the Seed
Company will retire in favor OF c. s. Alb
bolt of Rochester. y. Y. n heavy stock
holder iE the Eastman Company. II. c.
Huiskamp. formerly secretary and mana
ger. becomes treasurer OF the recognized
firm. II. c. Reiner is promoted from as
sistant secetaTy to the office OF secretary
and manager. The style of the firm will
remain unchanged
The Importance OF this deal IS such that
prominent business men said yesterday that
the kodak and photo supply business OF St.
Louis. backed by the S0.coo.Oo OF the Kodak
Trust, might be expected TO rival some o.
the city's largest industries. For years St
Louis has made practically all the dry
plates used in England. The glass is made
IN ST. Adams. England. shipped here TO be
sensitized. and then returned as 4 finished
product.
The photo supply business OF the city has
been one OF the principal factors IN the de-
velopment Of chemical factories. some OF
which. 1t is expected. the Eastmans may
also attempt to absorb. Only four months
ago an effort was made to consolidate the
wholesale Photographic supply houses. and.
though it fell through it cannot be said to
have been abandoned.
The new management of the Seed Com
pany was installed yesterday. the deal hav-
ing been concluded the day before. The
company was one of the Oldest and most
successful in the city. and its purchase
gives the Eastman Company a foothold by
which It is expected any future efforts to
spread out will be greatly facilitated The
offices of the Seed Company will remain at
No. 35 Locust street, and their factories
Just outside the city.
