NEW FERRO SILICA
 PLANT IN OPERATION

Chattanooga has added to it's industrial prowess another large plant which will be potential factor in the growth and fame of the city, says a correspondent of the Industrial Index. This plant really
 justifies Chattanooga's patent trade mark, the Dynamo of Dixie,' being lit- erally the dynamo of Chattanooga. It is known as the Chattanooga Electro Met als company, and although encouraged by the government, it is purely local, be- ing Chattanooga made to a great extent and financed with Chattanooga capital. It adjoins it's sister plant, the Southern Ferro-Alloys company, of which Mr. Kruesi is also president. The capital stock of the company is given at 500 0O0, and the personnel is as follows: Paul J. Kruesi, president and treasurer; N. Thayer Montague, fist vice president and secretary; G. L. Davison, second vice president and manager; Arthur Raymo, general superintendent; D. H. Cowan, as- sistant superintendent; R. L. Patterson, chemist; H. H. Ruschbridge, chief elec- trician; N. W. Westbrook, assistant sec- retary.
 The plant is already in operation The transformers in the plant are the largest ever seen in the vicinity. The three trans formers have a total of 400O horse power,
