PLANS ABOUT
DECIDED upon
FOR INDUSTRY
Full Details to Be Agreed Upon
At Meeting Here On
May n.
A FULL INVESTIGATION
HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE
t
Chips From the Big Plant Have
Been Found Suitable for the
Manufacture-This Decision
Made BY Noted Chemist.

A two hundred and fifty thousand
dollar paper pulp mill has been prac-
tically agreed upon by the Yaryan Ro-
sin and Turpentine company, and at
a meeting of the directors of that
company to be held In this city on
May 30, fpll plans and specifications
will be approved.
The idea of merging its present bus
iness into a pulp industry is not
new one with the Ysryan people, and
as matter of fact, for two years the
management have carefully doped out
the situation, and at all times ev-
cry expert authority consulted has
agreed that the Yaryan chips are most
excellent raw material flor the pulp
manufacture. @&i
Some ten days ago Vice President
Jas. s. Bradley, Jr.,e employed Arthur
B. Little. of Boston, paper chem
ist of many years experience, who
came to this city and. after a most
exhaustive investigation, reported
most favorably on tIe proposition. In
the meantime the Yaryan people
were confronted with two separate
propositions, the first was to sell it's
output of chips to a company now
engaged lin the pulp business, and,
the second was whether or not it
would be expedient to,enter into pulp
manufacturing on its own account.
Mr.. Bradley favoring the latter plan
recently made trips to New York, st.
Louis, Toledo and other points and
found that other stockholders
and directors were in a receptive
mood touching his proposition. and he
received sufficient encouragement
from that source to return home,
make Iother investigations and de-
termine to erect this new mill.
In the meantime, and while he was
working on this end of the situation
he had completed plans for the erec-
tion of the new factory, which it is
estimated will cost in round figures,
$3.50, 900 at the start. The new plant
will be located between the present
power plant of the Yaryan Rosin &c
AuA pOhtihC pant anu LhC OOulCNdIu,
the construction will be of concrete
and steel, reinforced, and the initial
installation, while calling for only 25
tons per day, will be so erected as
to take care of capacity of so tons.
1t has not been determined as yet
whether the Yaryan Rosin e Turpen-
tine company will itself engage in this
industry or whether subsidiary COM
pany will be formed for that purpose,
the Yaryan company remaining the
parent organization to the new one
These details will be fully thrashed
out at directors meeting of the
company, which has already been call
ed for Monday, May 90, and it will be
of interest to say that President Theo-
dore Hemmelmann, Jr, and l. e.
Knisely, both of whom are in favor
of the plan, will be in attendance
upon this meeting.
The company at first proposes to
devote itself to the manufacture Of
what is known in paper parlance as
kraft pulp, which is used In the
manufacture OF very strong and
high grade wrapping paper. At pres
ent this kraft Is imported largely
from Norway and Sweden and before
the European war it had market
value of about $40 per ton. In line,
however, with all paper and by-prod-
ucts, 1t has increased very rapidly
and is now selling from $75 to 500
per ton.
In connection with this new venture
1t might also be stated that one OF
the impelling reasons that the Yaryan
people advance for taking up the new
idea is that the new plant can be
built in connection with the rebuild
ing OF the Yaryan I,osin & Turpen-
tine plant at a greatsdea less money
