MEANS A GREAT SAVING
IN OPERATION OF PLANT
Mr.. Yaryan Announces That the
Fuel Will Be Manufactured
Here and 100000 Gallons
Monthly Will Be Used at the
Local Yaryan Plant.

After several weeks of demonstrate
ing, actual gasoline was yesterday pro
duced on manufacturing scale from
various by-products by Homer T. Var
yam, of Toledo, Ohio. inventor of the
Yaryan process of extracting resinous
products from pine stumps and closely
identified always with the Yaryan
plant in this city.
For several months Mr. Yaryan has
been working with the one idea that
gasoline could be manufactured from
sundry of the by-products now in ex-
istenee. Several months ago he put.
this idea into operation in his home
city of Toledo and there devised the
necessary machinery for perfecting his
idea. The fact that the Yaryan COM
pany is one of the heaviest consumers
Of gasoline in the world was an incen-
tive to Mr.. Yaryan to proceed, not only
with the idea of reducing the cost OF
solvent used in the Yaryan plant, but
with a broader purpose of coming into
actual competition with the manufac-
turers of gasoline.
About six weeks ago Mr.. Yaryan
came to Brunswick, in the meantime
having sent in advance his mechanical
equipment necessary in his expert
ments. From that time right straight
along he has been busy night and day
putting on various tests and expert
ments. The newspaper profession in

weeks ago, but in respect to the re-
quest of Mr.. Yaryan nothing has been
said about it.
He has been literally burning the
midnight oil and it seems to be queer
coincidence that the first real test of
the success of his invention was sched-
uled for last Friday, March 10, when a
"erious conflagration consumed por-
ion of the plant of the Yaryan COM
pany, which served to delay the final
experiment. However, yesterday Mr..
Yaryan successfully tried out his in
vention and the result has been most
satisfactory to him. In order to illus
trate to what extent this experiment
has proved successful it might be
stated that the products used in pro
ducing gasoline are considered by
products in the refinery and ordinarily
used as fuel oil in competition with
coal.
In addition to these by-products the
ordinary kerosine, which has become
a drug owing to its large production
was successfully converted into gaso-
line in the trial yesterday. The sig
nificance of converting kerosine into
Nasoline is that it is the first time that
such a feat has been performed. The
Standard Oil company, of Whiting
Ind. are producing immense quaint
ties of gasoline from fuel oil, but they
have been unable to convert kerosine
into this product. In the effort to pro
duce sufficient gasoline to supply the
demand, excessive quantities of kero
sene have been thrown upon the mar
ket until at the present time the price
is but a fraction over that OF crude
oil. To sum up the entire significance
of this invention it is only necessary
10 say that over eighty per cent Of
crude oil can be converted into gaso
line the greatest quantity yet produc
ed is THAT of the Standard Oil com
many. who claim to obtain fifty pei
cent.
