emit of the American Valve and Tank
company, is here looking after the
work ON the factory and making ar
rangements for the operation of the
plant as soon as the buildings are COM
pleted. The foundry foreman, who will
have direct control of the operation of
the foundrya is expected to arrive
today and the two men will begin at
once to secure laborers and mechanics
SO that no time need be lost in getting
the new industry started upon COM

has not been started on the foundry
as yet but the materials are now on
the ground and 1t is not thought that
much time will be consumed in the
erection of the building.

Wear rubbers in damp weather;
keep your feet dry; drink plenty Of
