THE OWENS BOTTLE FACTORY

EVERY PARTICULAR.

%Plant in operation" is the message
that the president of the Owens Bottle
Company, who is in Europe wanted to
hear concerning the new factory here.
The message was wanted by the first
OF September this year. The factory
will not be done by that time. The
plant is too big and the work Is being
done In a manner that will necessarily
take moro time than from now until
the first of September. The company
is going to make this model glass
plant. The men behind the project
are not going to see how soon they
can be manufacturing bottles for there
is no doubt that II this were their OBJ.
iect they could be turning out ware by
this time. With them It Is how good
can we build factory. These men
have come down through generations
Of men that have been glass workers.
They have looked forward to the
time when they would be able ID build
and equip the very same kind OF q
plant that they are building and
equlpping. in Industrial Valley. 1t has
been the dream OF their lives 10 own

the means. They have taken advan.

es we're. such that the men behind this
great enterprise could realize what
had ben revolving in their minds for
years.
The buildings that one. sees now
are immense. The buildings that will
make up the complete plant viii be
stupendous. 1t is said by those that
know that the plant completed for
operation will cost over seven hundred
thousand dollars. Not half Of the
buildings arc yet to be seen.
The work is progressing as fast as
1t is possible. A large force OF men
are busily engaged on the great struc.
lures. And there is busy air about
the place that shows Just how earnest
the work is being carried on.

\ conversations Of the season. Mr.. Jerome,
who was seeing the aeroplane for the first
time. started il ali by insisting 10 a
friend as inexperienced in aircraft as the
ex-district attorney that the substantial
planes Of the Wright machines are rigid.
Some one who overheard asked Wilbur
Wright 10 work the levers which warp
or twist downward the main planes so
/ that Mr.. jerome would learn that he was
/ mistaken in thinking the planes rigid
/ Wilbur Wright obliged, and swung the
/ levers back and forth while he explained

a bird in flight.
The biplane need not be made large
