Richie PLANT
IS BUSY PLACE
FORMER OTTUMWA CONCERN
THRIVING IN MUsCATINE SINCE
. LOCATING THERE.

Since locating in Muscatine where
the concern has its plant, the Richie
Corrugated Culvert Co., seems to nave
struck pay dirt and the following from
the Muscatine Journal tells in glowing
terms the success that has been met
with by the former Ottumwa factory:
One Of Muscatines latest acquisi-
tions in the industrial field, which
gives every promise Of growth, Is the
Richie Corrugated Culvert Co., plant.
which IL located in the south part OF
the city. The place is the scene of
great activity these days the amount
Of business having been received being
in excess OF the output, resulting IN
extreme hustle at the factory In order
to properly handle the orders. Iwen-
ty men are now employed at the new
south end institution and the coming
year will likely witness an increase In
the working force, for present indica-
tons point to that favorable condi-
ton While the dry season has az
fected the sale Of culverts, still the
demand for farm articles, such as
tanks and troughs, has been unpre.
cedented.
The new home Of the company
which moved from OttumWa to MUS
catine is one which is modern and
we'll arranged for the industry, and
Is OF suffi cient size to provide for
the installation Of considerable more
machinery than is now found there.
The building is S0x1O0 feet and is
adjoined by an engine room In which
is located 4 Murray Corliss engine,
developing 100 horse power. Nest OF
the members Of the working force are
skilled tinsmiths, and the speed and
dexterity, as we'll as workmanship dis
played by the workers in the shaping
Of the various articles manufactured
there makes visit to the plant one
we'll worth while. Since the removal
Of the plant to this city the company
has enjoyed excellent trade and Man
ager Richie declared that favored by
the rates which can be secured at this
point, he has been able to place his
output on the market at a figure which
has resulted in increased business.
