hot water heating systems alike. While
four times as many steam and not

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 a 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

much more money and save a greai

HEAVY SHOE BUSINESS.
Predict Detroit Some Day Will Rival
ST. Louis AS Shoe Center.

Great progress has been made in
the past 10 years in Detroit, in the
shoe industry. Once unheard OF In
that industry, Detroit now ranks third
In the United States, st. Louis being
recognized as first.
There are now five plants here and
their products are sent to all parts
OF the United States. Situated In the
middle west, Detroit is an ideal place
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 n
shoe center Chicago now holds that
position.
The shoes manufactured here are
OF the highest grade, and are made
from the best material. much OF which
comes from this state. Detroit fur
nishes most of the boots and shoes
worn in Michigan.
Local manufacturers are forced To
rely much upon Chicago and Milwau-
kee, for the leather to be used ia the
"uppers" and most OF the material
used in the manufacture of the lower
part OF the shoes, is shipped from
Kansas City and Omaha. There are
a, number of big tanneries here which
receive the raw material from the
west and prepare 1t for the local
companies.

MUCH SMELLING DONE HERE.

Smelling and refining Is business
OF some proportion in Detroit. The
local plants turn out vast amount OF
product, year In and year out, with
the result that Detroit has become an
important center for this line or trace.
While ore, direct from the mines. Is
used extensively in the manufacture
of basic metals, large quantity OF
metal refuse finds its way INTO the 10
cal melting pots Nothing goes 70
waste In the smelling and refining
plants, the operators OF these WORKS
being as resourceful as the boarding
house mistress and the thrifty house
wife in making something out Oh
everything.
And in this connection It might not
be amiss to suggest that some article
OF brass in your home, such as
door knob. may once have been q
brass kettle or something OF the SOFT
I'm your residence. For, when the
brass Junk is brought to the smelling
and refining plants, 1t is smelted down
and afterwards converted into an arti'

industry has grown rapidly, especially
in the past few years.
Ii was formerly acknowledged that
the finest and most stylish corsets
were made In France, but now the
French styles are brought to America
where they are improved upon, and
the new creation exported back to
Europe. A number OF the local corset
companies now have branches in
Paris, France, which supply the
French dealers with the American.

The corsets made here are. sold in

II is estimated that $4,000 yards OF

used daily in turning out the 10000
corsets which are made daily in De-
troit alone.
