A plant for the dlstill .tion OF vola-
tile oils which are extensively used
in the arts and medicine, from the
aromatic plants SO common in Colo
rado, will soon be built In Montrose

established here.
s. II. Blair, man of large exper-
fence in tho business for number of
years in Michigan, is the man behind
the plan. He has spent three or four
years IN making experiments In this
section ana his Investigations have
convinced him that this is the best
place for the distillery
The United States Department of
Agriculture reports show that Colo
RADIO has more aromatic plants which
contain volatile oils. such as winter
green, sweet burch. peppermint
spearmint. horsemint. wild bergamot
etc, than any other state in the union.
except California.
| In addition to this the climatic con-
ditions here are ideal for the distilla-
tion OF the oils In Michigan the pro-
cess was hindered very much by the
damp weather. the presence OF large
amount OF moisture in the atmosphere
compelling him to shut down occa-
sionally. Sunshine is a prime requi-
site for tho operation and that we
have here In abundance.
The plant will be located near the
mouth of the Gunnison tunnel, an;
Mr.. Blair expects to have It ready to
begin operations by the first Of June.
He will be- able to distill the oils from
all the plants we have here.--Mont-
