BATTERY CO. STRENGTHENED
Local Money Provided to En-
large Business.
Company Is Now Incorporated

The Newport Battery Co., started in
this city last spring by r. s. Anderson
and ]. F. Pfeiffer, has been Incorporated
with number of local people as stock
holders, and with capital provided for
further installation of machinery and
purchase of material will shortly be in
shape to do business on larger scale.
Since starting the manufacture of dry
cells Messrs. Pfeiffer and Anderson have
been doing the work of pioneering the
industry. The cells have been thor
oughly tested for various purposes by
wholesalers of electrical supplies in Spo-
kane and other northwestern cities, and
the company is assured of business that
should make the industry profitable and
start it on successful career
The new company is incorporated with
a paid-up capital of $1,000, all subscribed
by local people. Mr.. A. G. McLane has
been working on the incorpo1 alton for
several weeks past and the deal was
consummated at meeting held Tues
day evening. The new company is in
corporated under the name of the New
port Battery Co., and the following
trustees were elected to serve until the
first annual meeting of the stockholders
in January, 1910: r. S. Anderson, Fred
l.. Wolf, DR.. ]. T. Phillips, C. A. Fled
Ter and A. NJ. Appel. The trustees
elected the following officers: President,
DIR. Phillips; vice-president, R. S. An
derson; secretary, Fred Stevens; treas
urer, F. G. Krause; general manager,
]. F. Pfeiffer.
The trustees will at once proceed to
enlarge the capacity of the plant to 1000
cells per day. Business in prospect at
this time warrants the belief that this
capacity will soon need increasing The
number of dry cells used annually in the
Inland Empire is estimated at over one
million, and if reasonable proportion
of this business can be secured a good
payroll industry is assured Newport.
There is but one other battery plant
located west of the Mississippi river.
