Greet Year Cor sofE DRINKS.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
When q marble soda fountain was
displayed at the centennial exposition
in 1876 it was viewed by visitors as q
curiosity, Robert NJ. Green, its builder,
having started business only two years
! before. Today soda water as a bever-
age is an American institution, and
the business of building fountains.
manufacturing supplies n dispensing
thirst q~uenching mixtures has assumed
tremendous proportions. $500, 900, 900
! being estimated as the retail volume Of
sodas, sundaes and other fountain bev-
erages for 1916, an increase of about
$500, 000, 900, or 60 per cent, over last
year.
Introduction OF ice cream in soda
water probably gave the greatest inn
petus to the business. Credit for the
idea belongs to Philadelphia, as it was
during the Franklin Institute exposi-
ton, some time after h centennial,
that Mr.. Green gave this idea success
full trial. Receipts at the fountain ex-
hibit jumped from a few dollars to 5000
a day and the soda water business was
made.
This year has been the most prosper
Gus in the history Of the soda water
trade. due to the prolonged hot spells
and the full employment at good wages
Of the laboring classes generally owe
| the country.
In Philadelphia alone expert supplies
statesmen estimate the soda business
has increased at least 500 per cent in
the last five years. There are score Of
fountains in thet busy sections Of the
city that do g. business Of from 81. 900
to $4,000 a month, while some Of the
larger drug and department stores av-
eragc daily receipts Of $500 to s400 from
their soda fountains.
The soda business Is an all the year
round proposition today with most
drug stores. A few years ago, before
the introduction of counter service APP
plicances which are much less expen-
sive to install than the old fashioned,
elaborate marble and plate glass wall

Lamp Imports Stopped.

In deciding the Just and Hannaman
patent suit against the Laco-Phillips
company, importer Of lamps made in
Holland, in favor OF the General Elec-
trio company, Judge Mayer sounded
the death kneu Of the imported tung-
stem filament lamp in the domestic
market, according to the Electrical
World. The Laco-Phillips company.
which was probably the largest i'm
porter Of lamps, has gone out of bust
ness sc far as the United States Ia
concerned. Other importers Of tuag-
stem lamps, If they do O wish to in
fringe the patent, must cease bringing
such infringing lamps to this country.
Prior to the war there was q very
appreciate trade in this country In
foreign made lamps, although they
were mostly OF the miniature type. The
trade in standard incandescent lamps
YVES practically confined to the prod
ucts of domestic factories. Prices and
quality Of goods made this possible.
Miniature lamps Of domestic manufac-
ture, however, played bnt a small part
in the domestic market until late in
1914. 1t was purely a question Of price.
Foreign made lamps sold for consider
ably less tina the American made
product. In September, 1919, the price
of American lamps was lowered to a
price that could MOI be met by foreign
manufacturers. Since then the Amer
lean manufacturers Of miniature lamps
have had more than they could handle.
The decrease at that time, 1t Is felt
by some, was really not necessary in
order to obtain a firm grip on this
market. The war would keep German
and Austrian lamps off the American
market and these were the real COM
peting lamps. However, with the cut
in price in effect, the door to this
country was more firmly locked. Even
IL European manufacturers do send
over lamps that do not infringe the

COTTON MANuFAC-
TURING IN maine

The Industrial Journal in its March
number had a series Of articles from
well-known Maine manufacturers on
the textile manufacturing in Maine.
The following article is the contribu-
ton to the series by Samuel Stewart
agent of the Edwards Mills of Angus
ia, on the subject Cotton Manufacture
ing in Maine:
Cotton Manufacturing in Maine.
In response to your recent favor
certainly am much pleased to give you
some facts and data concerning the
cotton manufacturing industry in this
State.
There are fourteen plants manufac-
turing cotton goods with a capital stock
of $21 100000. having an average an
nual payroll Of $6,250,0o0. In the man
ufacture 93s,S40 spindles and 1888
looms are used. consuming 20O,0 900 bales
of cotton or 100,O00,000 pounds. The
average yearly product in yards Of
cloth produced is 227.000,000; in addt-
tion to this 6,391 900 pounds Of sale
yarn and 100000 pounds Of miscel-
laneous cotton fabrics are manufac-
tured and sold. The $21,000,0O0 capital
stock does not represent the value of
the plants. as a replacement value is
much in excess of this.
There has not been any great growth
in the last few years, nor have there
been any new concerns coming into
the State, and there are several reasons
for this The distance from the source
of the raw material and the distribut-
ing points for the manufactured pro-
duct is serious handicap. We have
also increased freight and higher oper-
ative expenses, due somewhat to cli-
matte conditions. The uncertainty of
drastic labor legislation is no doubt a
factor which tends to hold the industry
in check, and the future is problemat-
ical, for I can not see that Maine has
anything particular to offer, as an in
ducement, unless it should be reason
able labor laws. The prospect of re-
duced working hours is a serious check
and one which should be carefully con-
sidered by all who have the welfare of
the State at heart. 1 should certainly
dislike to see unreasonable legislation
imposed on us. which would have a de-
pressing influence on the industry and
tend to check expansion. Our labor
laws should be such that fit our own
state and not copies Of some other
states where conditions are different ]
do believe that the manufacturing in
terests have the welfare Of the en-
ployee much more in mind than do the
few people who try to get through our
legislature statutes which tend to
throttle.
Our State is so situated that induce
ments must be offered to get new cot
ton manufacturing interests here. We
are SO far distant from distributing
centers and labor markets that we can
not expect to enjoy the privileges that
! the more favorable sections do There
is perhaps one thing that would tend
to bring us more on level with other
sections Of the country and that is a
Federal Law regulating the hours Of la
Dor and the employment Of minors,
women and children; even with this we
would still be somewhat handicapped
| by our location.
Yours very truly,
SAMUEL STEWART, Agent,
Edwards Mfg. Co.
