REFRIGERATOR COMPANY
EXPECTS TO START WORK
WITHIN THREE MONTHS

approximately 100000 with capital
of equal amount 1t is one of the most
prosperous factories in Peru. One of
the reasons assigned by the officials of
the company for leaving Peru is on
account of the location of the plant
there. A large part of the plant was
washed away during the 1913 flood
and considerable trouble is exper.
fenced every spring on account of
high waters. The buildings here are
ample for future extensions that are
being considered and the shipping IA
cilities are also better than at Peru,
the officials say.
