Dear Mr.. Dodge: In regard to- your
inquiry concerning the standing Of the
Cutler Engineering company and the
personal integrity of James Cutler i
beg leave to submit the following in
ormation as the result Of my investiga-
ton since receiving your letter of. the
26th ult. ~" = X .*s 4asss s3tssg
The Cutler Engineer company is In
corporated with James Cutler as presi-
dent and treasurer. He, with his
brothers, were the organizers and it
was company formed for the purpose
of erecting and equipping mills, fac
tories, public buildings, bridges. In
fact all high grade structural work of
an engineering kind. Some years ago
the line of work commenced to- run
into the building and equipping of
sugar and coffee mills, though many
other kinds of work was still carried
on. 9N-7
About this time the company took
over the Marcus Mason & Company
resisted the caustis soda. These trans
consist of long, shallow traps, perhaps
sixty to eighty yards long, one yard
wide and nine inees deep, containing
boards which stretch from side Ito
side, sloping at an angle, and nailed
to the bottom of the traps. The dilute
pulp flows along the trays leaving the
eavy PARTICLES, knots, and foreign mat
ter behind the sloping boards, and fin
ally passes over the strainers, which
retain any large coarse pieces still
remaining. = -
Making Sheets of Pulp:-The mix
ture from the strainers contains a
large excess of water, which has to be
removed before the pulp can be bleach
ed. For this purpose a wet press ma
chine Or press is employed, and the
wet sheets of pulp are ready for bleach
ing. @E.
BIeachina:-The process by which
the pulp is bleached is exactly similar
to that used for bleaching esparto.
From 1870 to 1890 large quantities OF
straw we're used for the manufacture
of newspaper in conjunction with es-
parto and wood pulp, but the price OF
the material was gradually advanced
so that it could not be used with IA.
vantage, especially as the production
OF wood pulp gave a material which
was much cheaper, and which could be
utilized alone without chemical treat
ment. ~ ~ =.
In the manufacture of news paper
the tendency of recent years has been
to. make the paper mill operations me-
chanical as possible and to dispense
with the preliminary operations which
are essential, for the manufacture: of
half stuff. The chemical processes be-
ing left within the hands Of the pulp
manufactures. & "a -. J. 4
: The manufacture of straw cellulose
s now practically confined to Germany,
but small quantities of the bleached
straw cellulose are imported because
the pulp imparts certain qualities to
paper which improve it, notably in
making cheap printing papers harder
and more, opaque. Straw and esparto
are usually described in textbooks
under one heading, partly because the
fibers possess strong resemblance of
physical and chemical constitution, and,
partly because the methods of, manu-
facture are Identical. 49, q
