LOCAL ALUMINIUM

An industry arresting more than

company on the second floor of the
Empire building are sample ingots
of aluminium made at the company's
plant Just south of the city from
clay with the aid of cheap gas and

and bright and quite Interesting to
the public. There is also box OF

company has ten times as many
written demands for 1t as it can All,
or in other words. the demand is by
the carload, while the company is
only able to furnish by the pound in
comparison.
The only other company manufac-
turing this valuable metal employs
between 5000 and 10000 men at
its various factories, thus showing
to some extent the magnitude of the
business, and the local company has
a great future. The factory has
been quietly in operation the last
six months and has fully established
perrnanency. 1T was success from
the start and the business extended
It thus far is bringing 1t wide pub
licity, from which growing trade
springs.
The capacity of the present build
ings is $50 tons a year, and could
it's output be made up into kitchen
ware and the like the profits would
be much larger as the ingots sell for
twenty cents pound, while the low
average price of kitchen ware of this
metal is $50 pound. 1t is likely
that at an early date the plant will
be equipped so as to make Kitchen
ware.
The gas consumption of the plant,
if enlarged to its possible capacity,
would be fifty million cubic feet
day and the output would amount to
from 50, 900 to 10000 tons of alum
mum year.
Skilled labor is employed at good
wages and this fact attracts a good
class of people to the city. The
plant runs day and night and every
day In the year.

clusion that they would rather live in
