HEATLESS
 FIREWORKS
 FACTORY
Starlite Company Laying Found
 atiOn For Sane Celebration.
SPARKLERS MADE ON 4 FLOORS
Largest Plant of its Kind in
 United States, it is Said.

A new mnufcturing concern Is To- cated in this city. It is the Starlite Mfg. Co.. at 356-369 Water street, occupies four large floors in the manufacture of heatless fireworks for the celebra- tion of a sane Fourth of July.
 The concern makes the celebrated sparklers which have been in use to a certain extent for a few years back. The sparkler when lighted throws off a myriad of small stars with beautiful effect.
 It is cIassed as a harmless drework by the makers and the sparks which fly from the stick do not mar or burn the finest fabric upon comlng in con tact with 1t. The only part of the stick that actually burns is sub stance which remains the wire stick in the hands of the user.
 There are several concerns making the goods in this country, but the Bridgeport concern is the largest and promises to surpass all others because of the fine plant it has installed for the rapid production of the goods.
 The sparkler as a fireworks toy had it's origin in Germany, but it was not bill that there was much chance for manufacturers of the goods in this country.
 All of the machinery used in making the harmless fireworks was made in this city at the plant of the A. H. Nilsson Machine Works in this city.
 The secret 1OrT1ufd IS L1l110o wet OA the ground floor and is carried to the top floor where 1t passes through sew era1 stages until 1t becomes 8 finished product. Several thousand small wires which are the holders of the sparklers are dipped at one time into vat of the wet material. After being dipped twice, they are dried, sorted. packed, and labeled for shipping by a large staff of young women.
 Besides being used for the ce1ebra- ton of Independence Day the spark lers are used in carnivals and all man. ner of celebrations throughout the country at various seasons of the year. At the Mardi Gras in New Or leans they are used in profusion. At the Hippodrorne in New York recently they were used in 8 big spectacle.
 It happens that they are also in line with Mayor Gaynor's advocacy of a sane fourth of July, also and a very large sale Is looked for this year.
 The officers of the organization are Otto Isenstein, president; A. M. Boney, vice-president; and A. M. Hirsch, sec retary and treasurer.
