MACHINE DOES UP POWDERS
Excels the Hands in Speed
and Execution.

The business OF putting up seidlitz
powders has heretofore been done by
hand. but IL is now probable that the
work will be done entirely by ma
ehinery. The first machines TOR the
purpose have been recently introduced
into laboratory at Providence. Il. 1.
There are two OF them. and although
they have been in operation but a
short time. II was long enough TO
demonstrate their success.
One OF these machines used for the
blue and the other for the white pow
der-and the intention is to b4ild l2
more of nickel steel in some Provi-
dence shop. One machine does The
work OF 80 girls. The great saving.
therefore. is in labor, and an idea OF
the capacity of ~ machines may be
formed from the statement that If run
eight hours day they will turn out
$4,000 gross of powders per year. or
enough to supply the American market.
If the estimate of annual consumption
is approximately correct.
There is practically no variation I'm
the weight OF the powders. Several
were weighed as they came from the
machines and the greatest difference
was only one-half of grain. There
fore 1t may be said that one powder
is exactly like another and. as 1t was
practically impossible to secure uni
fOrmity in hand work, it is apparent
that the machine promises TO effect
economy in material as well as by
eliminating the cost OF labor.

gone-all gone completely. So then |
turned up the barrel and. as true as you
are alive, the rats had eaten a hole

the pork all out
Fritz was amazed and stunned.
