TIN MILLS PAY OUT
BIG SUM OF MONEY
More To Employees This Month Than
Ever in Their History and
Are Enlarging.

The Phillips Sheet & Tin Plate
Company has a big Thanksgiving
surprise in store for the community.
The magnitude of the work of this
large and splendid industry is not
yet altogether appreciated There
is a general knowledge that many
men are employed there and occas-
ional reference is made to the size
of the payroll. With that the tin
plate mills pass from the minds Of
many and are not really appreciated
as they should be. However. the
news comes that the payroll satur-
day of the present week wiz reach
$4,000. This amount is for but
two weeks work and the total Of the
payroll the past four weeks Is $780,
900, an average of $4,000. which
figures show the mills to be a very
important factor in the industrial
features of clarksburg. While the
payroll all the time has been large
vet the mills break the record this
month by about six thousand dollars
increase.
The large new wareroom Is now
nearing completion and the company
will begin shortly the erection Of an
extensive addition. to the main lot
