A LARGE PLANT
TO make dyes.
MORE FACTS ABOUT THE NEW
ENTERPRISE AT CAN
MEL CITY.

The following article describes q
very important new industry In Nor
gan county. which adjoins Lawrence
on the west side.
New processes are employed In this
plant and great results are expected
by the inventor ond by the United
States expert who is aiding in getting
II started. II Is the first plant OF the
kind in the United States:
| Camel City. KY. Sept 25.--Produc-
ton OF 10000 pounds of dye a day to
relieve the dye famine in this country
occasioned by the war in Europe,
which prevents shipment from Ger
many, the big dye producing country
OF the world, is the ambitious program
OF the Pearsite Company, which is
erecting large plant near Camel
City. Dyes OF the highest grades al
ready have been produced in the lab
oratories of the new company. but the
plant, which will consist OF furnaces,
oil distilleries, dye houses and labora-
tories, win not be completed until
about November i, when the officials
hope TO increase their daily production
to 10000 pounds.
Arrangements have been made with
the Kentucky Block Camel Coal com
pany. Of Camel City, for 500 tons of
camel coal day, to be used in the
manufacture OF dyes and the, valuable
by products resulting from the process
and already ARRANGEMENTS have been
] made with one OF the large commits
sion firms OF New York city to market
the product.
| Since the war in Europe stopped the
importation OF dyes from Germany
manufacturers have been anxious
about the future and have not been
able to supply their demands from the
small amount OF stock in this country
at the time OF the outbreak OF the war
and the comparatively small output OF
this country. The new camel coal pro-
cess, secret process known only to
the Pearsite Company. not only will
relieve the dye famine in this country
today, but probably will gain suffi-
cient hold on the trade in this country
| to be able to offer competition to the
German manufacturers. after the war
has stopped and the plants Of the I'm
perial government begin operations. In
the past these plants have held mo-
nopoly on this trade, having been suf-
ficiently powerful TO crush out any ef-
forts at competition in this county.
THE Camel City company opera
tons will total between $1,500.000 and
$4,000, 900 yearly" said DR.. Charles H.
Gage, one OF the joint inventors OF the
new enterprise with Herald reporter.
and we have had samples OF our pro-
duct examined by experts who have
advised us that our dye will stand ev-
cry test of fastness and have pro-
nounced II to be AL"
The process is known among scien-
tifc men who have examined 1t and
pronounced 1t o.. X, as the camel coal
process but the inventors refuse to
discuss II further. Most OF the phases
of the process and the apparatus used
in the work have been patented. and a
representative OF the United States
Patent Office was at Camel City
Thursday night in conference with DR.,
Gage.
Credit for the discovery OF the in
vention is divided between DR.. Gage
and Arthur L. Pearse, an English en-
gineer for whom the company is nam
