Starrett Tool Company, one Of the
largest manufacturing companies
Of the kind in the United States

branch had over 100000 in or.
dcrs on file when he left there.
Mr.. Powell is of the opinion that
the manufacturing business in this
country will be even better after
the close of the war in Europe
than it is now, as the European
countries will need more Of the
products of the American Manu-
facturcrs then than they do now.
