yes" said Selden S. Deemer, su-
perintendent of the Brylgen Steel Cast
ing Co, 1--WE are really going to leave
Reading and expect to have our new
plant at New Castle, Delaware, in oper- |
alton in October"
For four years the Brylgon Steel
Casting Company has been one of the
leading industries of the city of Read
ing. The buildings were built espec-
tally for the companys use and cover
an acre of ground. The foundry has
never been idle a day and was a verit-
able hot-bed of industry.
From one to two hundred men have
been employed and the firm has been
rushed with orders, always having
more than It could handle.
The Brylgon Company manufactured
steel castings from one pound to 5O,-
600 pounds in weight.
Plant Covers 20 Acres.
The plant at New Castle is one OF
the finest in the United States and
covers total area of 20 acres. The
lldlM .Uulllln6 - tNN AttA lOAS anu A-N
feet wide. and is located directly on
the banks of the Delaware River.
Many men have already been sent
down.
I'VE expect to do ten times,as much
business when we are installed at New
Castle" said Supt. Deemer. "All the
men desiring to go along with us from
Reading can do so. We have been re-
markably successful in our work and
ship castings to all parts of the United
States, Europe, Central and South
America"
The moulders started on their work
this week, but as all are large moulds
II will be some time before the pour
ing will take place.
Statement Correct.
When Mr.. Deemer's attention was
called to the above article last night
he said: Il have seen the article and
. It is substantially correct. We are
operating our works now to some ex-
tent and have about twenty-five men
employed, nearly half Of whom are
from New Castle. We expect to take
on more men in a short time and then
we will have fifty or sixty employed
from here. Our policy is to bring only
skilled labor here as l believe we can
get laborers from New Castle. To this
class Of labor we pay fifteen cents an
hour. If man is not worth that he
isn't worth anything, and will advance
them according TO their merits. We
don't believe in cheap labor"
The officers Of the company are; An
drew Bryson, president; Selden s
Deemer superintendent and John T
Dickson. secretary and treasurer.
