PasO Smelter, together with many
other lesser additions to the city's
manufacturing interests. have made
1917 memorable year in progress OF
FL Paso's industries, while oil strikes
in New Mexico promise to do much to-
wards supplying more and cheaper
power for all kinds Of manufactures
here.
Demands OF the biggest trade area
IN the United States tributary 10 any
one city have made FL PasO a manu-
featuring city. An abundance of raw
materials and promise of unlimited
power, II all the opportunities Of ma
ture be harnessed, has caused finan-
clers TO take up manufacturing as a
business investment and already they
nave made Fl Paso the greatest man
ufacturing city in the southwest.
Open Field for Many Plants
Yet but small per cent of the raw
materials produced in the territory of
which FL Paso is the center is used.
There IS an open field for almost IN
limited manufacturing plants Of marSy

VIII quickly become a rival Of eastern
manufacturing districts, and practic-
ally al raw materials produced in the
surrounding territory will be disposed

alone would do this It is but the
question OF few years at the most
when this viii be accomplished.

Builds Large. New Factory
One OF the city's biggest helps is
the FL PasO sash and Door company.
After the big fire last February. when
the cOmpany's plant was entirely de-
strOyed, new buildings were at once
erected. the new factory occupying
three blocks on Mills street - from
Willow to Poplar and costing aD-
prOximately s250.0e0. The buildings
are two stories in height and have
an aggregate floor space Of four and
one half acres JncOnVeniences caused
by the fire were largely readjusted
by Septemb Der and the new year saw
the company operating with increased
prosperity.
The company is without a success
ful rival in the southwest in the pro-
ductiOn OF sash, doors. glass and Spe-
cial mill work. in which it has built
up 2 mammoth trade in west Texas,
New Mexico. Arizona and northern
Mexico. Art glass work put out by
the company has attained a wide
reputation in the southwest The
cOmpany's department for turning out
glass for decorative purposes is very
complete, being installed at a heavy
cost Every tool, machine and equip
ment that is necessary for the pro
duction Of fine mill and cabinet work
v
this respect it compares quite favor
ably with the equipment OF the large
factories of Grand Rapids. Mich
where are located many of the ma
tons largest and most complete cabi-
net plants.
The company employs about 100
men. Officers Of this thriving con-
Germ are; " c. Edwards. president;
W l. Foxworth. vice president:
George Evans, secretary and general
manager.
FL Pase Shelter Important Industry.
The American Smelling and Rein
ing company, generally referred to in
short as the smelter." has long been
recognized as one OF FL Paso's most
beneficial concerns. The smelter is a
constant evolution of improvements
that are being cOntantly made in
smeiter work Every wear sees part
Of the plant torn away and replaced
by more modern equipment with
greater capacity that the increase in
ore production in this district may be
more easily handled and the trade
secured for FL PasO. It is not uncom-
mon for the annual improvements of
the plant TO reach half a million dol
lars, and always they run up into hun
dred thousands.
At the plant the company has about
1000 employees, while IS many more
are engaged indirectly in work of
production, transfer and various
handling processes The monthly
payroll is about S125.000.
Mexican revolutions were for time
the cause of almost completely dis
continuing activities in the largest
box factory in the world-a local
plant owned by the FL Paso Milling
company. This plant depends on lumt

evcentiouaIIv large number OF such
firms to thrive here In this line OF
business the local trade is but little
heavier than the work annually done
for large mining companies and other
big business concerns in the territory
tributary to FL PasO. Among the
larger firms here are the Fl Paso
Printing company, McMath Printing
company. Hughes-Buie company, La
Dor Advocate plant. Ellis Bros, the
Automatic. Ideal and Watson-Mat-
tox- These plants represent invest
ments OF over S200.O0
Half hundred people in the city are
engaged in making tents and awnings.
The FL PasO Tent company and E T.
Amouett supply the FL PasO territory
with tents. awnings and canvas goods
Among the manufacturers Of leath-
er goods are the West Texas Saddlery
company and the firm Of r T. Amo-
nett, 400 Texas street There IS a
strong demand for saddles. trappings
and leather goods in the territory
adjacent to Ell PasO which the auto
mobile will never be able to displace
in the rougher sections. and from this
class OF customers comes much Of the

In East Ell Paso, near the G. Fl. &

owned by Vincent B. Andreas and =.
RaveL Each does prosperous busi-
ness, both IN the city and in outlying
districts.
Many other factories and plants for
the manufacture Of endless articles
are maintained in the city. Among
the products turned out are different
kinds Of brushes. musical instruments,
jewelry. boots, shoes. trunks. satchels,

This is due to a system of delivery
devised and used by the combined
dealers. which effects a saving suffi-

price as in former years The FL

Globe Mills also manufacture ice.

Getting Mexican Lumber.
Recently about ten carloads daily
have been got out by the mills near
Madero. which are operating again
with about one fourth the force en-
ployed before the war. While this
amount is not sufficient to supply the
demands Of the Ell Paso Milling COM
pany It is believed to be but the
question Of a short time until business
will be resumed at the box factory.
Fifteen hundred men were formerly
employed by the company. whose pay
roll ran to $4,000 monthly. COndi-
lions are favorable for a full resump-
ton Of activities at an early date.
Has Big Brick Plants.
Brick making has long been one
Of FL Paso's most productive indus
tries. The city is noted for its fine
brick residences and brick business
blocks. Because Of rapid growth. al
most all the output of FL Paso's big
brick plants has been used in city
building. Three large brick plants
and several smaller ones are located
here. representing Investments in the
aggregate Of 100000. These plants
employ 36S men and have a monthly
payroll of approximately 100000.
The Atlas Brick. company. 400 Dali
las street. is an $3.50 investment It
employs 80 men and has a monthly
payroll u dDouL SLouV- IL puLS OAA
So 600 bricks per month.
The Ell Paso Brick company's plant
is located in New Mexico. about four
miles from the city. near one OF the
biggest shale banks in this section.
It was erected at a cost Of nearly
500, 600, employs 125 men and has an
average output OF 1850 bricks
monthly. 1t pays out $4,000 per month
in wages. This company does an ex-
tensive business in ornamental thing
for floors. fireplaces and fixtures. It
also manufactures q special brick for
street paving, and hollow tile silO
blocks which are rapidly taking the
place of timber in the construction Of
silOs
The International Brick company Is
a curious instance OF labor entering
the ranks Of capital The plant, erect
ed at a cost Of $500. 900, is owned by
members Of the International Brick

Of America, and marks the beginning
