DETROIT FURNACES FAMOUS.

When Uncle Sans pocketbook Is
fat, the members OF his big family APP
pear TO want all the comforts OF home.
One of these Is a furnace and the de-
sire for such equipment has proven
profitable for the Detroit manufac-
turers of heating apparatnses. The
period OF prosperity has been helpful
to the makers OF hot air, steam and
hot water heating systems alike. While
four times as many steam and hot
water plants are being installed now
adays .as formerly, there Is also Dig
demand for hot air furnaces. few
years ago there was a general preJu'
dice against installing hot water or
steam plants in cottages or bunga-
lows. but time has changed opinions
and II is now a common spectacle to
see hot water or steam pipes In the
smaller houses.
The product OF Detroit furnace

the homes OF the Americans, but also
into foreign dwellings and palaces.

NOVELTY IN SHOWCASES.
AIl-G ass Variety, Among Other De-
signs, Made In Detroit.

Michigan ranks high in the manu-
facture of showcases, and Detroit
comes in for most of the honor. The
local companies manufacturing such
articles rank in the first class and put
out complete and high grade goods.
Products from the local factories are
shipped to all parts Of the world,
large quantities being shipped TO
South and Central America.
One of the novelties put out by a
local manufacturer is an allglass
case which does not rely upon a
frame. work for support. The case is
entirely new, and Detroit has the dis
tinction of being the only city east
Of the Rockies which manufactures
them.
In conjunction with the manufac-
ture of showcases, number OF the
local companies also manufacture
metal store front constructions,
whereby the plate glass Is set In small
metal bars instead of being placed in
clumsy wooden frame or against a

MUCH SMELLING DONE HERE.

Smelling and refining is business

local plants turn out a vast amount OF

important center for this line OF trade.

be amiss to suggest that some article

MILK CANS IN DEMAND.
Farmers Use Them Extensively For
Shipments To City.

The fact that the practice OF deliy-
ering milk by the can system in the
towns and cities has been done away
with in recent years, the bottle
method supplanting IL. has caused no
falling on In the manufacture of milk
cans. AS matter of fact. the trade
is increasing all the time, according
TO the manufacturers, OF whom their
are about four In the United States.
While the delivery wagon type OF can
has been practically discarded. the
making OF the bigger vessels. the kind
used by the farmers TO ship their
milk TO the creameries. goes on apace
The farmers are shipping more milk
TO the creameries today than ever be-
fore. They find that the facilities.
such as the suburban railway, etc,
for Transporting their milk TO the
cities and towns, are of an advantage
GUS character; that they can make
much more money and save a great
deal OF labor by selling their milk TO
the creameries than by making but.
ter with IL on the farm.
In the making of the big milk cans
an Improvement has come about by
the use Of steel plate as we'll as tin
plate. The latter Is now used only
as covering for the steel The new
process of manufacture makes the
cans more durable and more sanitary
Formerly the milk came in contact

cesses.
How starchlng 10 Done.
The starching is done by passing
the articles to be starched through
thickly padded rolls, the larger OF
which picks up the liquid starch as
II revolves. Girls then smooth out
the starched pieces, taking out wrin-
kles II any. Then the pieces are
hooked on an endless chain arrange
ment and pass through hot air
chamber. in which the air is kept in
circulation by revolving fans. Com
Ing out the pieces are automatically
dropped into a large basket.
The ironing process extends through
number OF machine and hand manip-
ufations Shirts go through 13 ma
chimes. All starched goods get a final
finish with hand irons. So complies
is the ironing process that even the
edges OF collars, cuffs and shirt bands
are ironed in machines with tiny
groove in which TO place the edge.
This does away with the scratching
edge that annoys when the edge ironer
Is not used.
There Is almost as much distinction
In the sorting OF clothes in laundry
as In the classification OF people In
society Any bundle large enough Is
sent through by itself, saves mixing
and the marking of the clothes. II
bundles are small they are combined,
but In making up combination wash
ing bundles from the same neighbor-
hood are put together. All lodging
house bundles, for instance, are
thrown in a pile by themselves and
run without association with clothes
from private houses. Then shirt
waists and other fancy garments are
put in net bags to overcome any pos
sibility of injury in the washing and
pounding process.
Clothes Carefully Handled.
Throughout the entire process in a
first-class laundry is noticeable the
extreme care in handling OF clothes
and the experiences of the operatives.
While every article Is subjected to
inspection before being wrapped It is
rare that anything is sent back for
further work on it. The expert oper-
ators in time just naturally become
inspectors themselves, and don't per-
init any defect to get by them.
Sorting is OF course very import

Detroit is the greatest corset man

kinds of gowns which American WON

different corset for each, the corset
industry has grown rapidly, especially
in the past few years.
Ii was formerly acknowledged that

-ployed by the laundrymen. Also, the
laundries exercise the greatest care
In handling goods, with the result that
few things are ever spoiled In the
first place. special attention Is paid
TO the preparation of the different
kinds or soap TO be used for the wash
Ing OF cotton and wooden goods.
Cotton will stand without injury much
more caustic soap than wooden. There
fore, while a reasonably strong soap
can be used on cotton neutral soap
must be used on woolens. Some large
laundries make their own soap, but
whether made In the laundry or pur-
chased outside the good laundryman
is careful in the selection OF stock.
The soap Is dissolved In large tanks,
so that the soap water can be drawn
without delay TO the wash tubs when
a batch OF clothes is ready for the
cleansing process.
The cylindrical wash tubs look on
the inside somewhat like a dashboard.
In addition there are bars that con-
tinually pick up the clothes and carry
then TO the top OF the cylinder and
from there the clothes drop TO the
bottom again. With just the right
quantity of water, which comes In
through the perforations in the eylin-
der, this picking up and dropping OF
clothes has the similar effect to the
old-fashioned pounding. The two and
one-half revolutions one way and then
two and one-half the other way are
TO prevent the clothes getting tangled

There are now five plants here and
their products are sent TO all parts

for the manufacture of boots and
shoes, manufacturers say, and II is
predicted that in a few years. this
city will rank next TO st. Louis as a

position.
