M'HENRY-M ILlH0USE
PLANT MAKES ROOFS,
SHINGLES, WALL BOARDS

When the builders come 10 erect
ing the 1000 dwelling houses which
will be required for the Studebaker
employees, they will not have to 60
outside of South Bend for much Of
their material. Especially in the
roofing line this fact is true. because
South Bend possesses one OF the
big roofing companies of the United
States.
Fifteen years ago the McHenry-
Millhouse company started TO make
roofing in a little plant in South
Bend. Now they own two factories,
one in South Bend, employing more
than 10 men. and another in Full
ton. y. Y, employing so men.
Asphalt roofing. shingles, wall
board. building paper and similar
articles are turned out by the local
plant
The product OF the McHenry-Nill-
house plant are marketed in South
Bend through the South Bend Ela-
borated Roofing Co., which pur-
chases the material from the manu-
facturers, and lays the roofing.

tiers. A luke-warm water solution is
used that assists in the cleaning pro-
cess.
Large drying watts are used where
the wool is colOred. In the making
OF cheaper grade underwear special
machinery is employed TO blend the
cotton and wool together. In this
work, which is known as the mix
ing process. the combined wool and
cotton is blown into a fireproof
room, where it settles In fluffy
piles. The fiber is fabricated during
this process with an emulsion Of olive
oil and water. The wool is then sent
down long shutes into an automatic
weighing device that straightens out
the fluffy mass into long strands
nearly an inch thick. The wool is
then called rowing"
Girls are employed to watch the
spinning machines, which are very
intricate, but the services of an ex-
pert are required when a strand of
yarn breaks. Machines are used for
every purpose, knitting the body Of
the garment without a seam, folding
and pressing devices and shrinking
machines. For the manufacturer OF
heavy underwear stretching frames
are used 10 shape the underwear.

Few modern ma gaines can be

the name of the Stephenson Under
wear Mills in announcements spread
ing the name OF South Bend broad
cast throughout the United States
and foreign countries. The local
mill has been in operation for more
than a quarter century in South
Bend and is one of the foremost
manufacturers in the underwear
business. Practically all the wool
used in the manufacturer of the
underwear is received from the Pa
cifc coast states and, when ship
ments viii permit. from New Zea-
land and South America.
The wool is bought direct from
the Sleeps back and is stored in
immense bins until used. In this
condition it is known as wool in the
grease. Four kinds of wool are
sheared from each sheep, which are
used for textile manufacturing pur-
poses. All wool is figured on a
secured basis and the cleaning and
securing process is very essential.
The burr picking machines are Of
very intricate construction and tear

Sons Take Business.
At the death Of the founder, Pat
rick O'Brien, two sons took over the
business, William ID. and George L.
O'Brien, and are at the present time
in active charge Of the working of
the plant.
Twenty-Five statesmen are en-
ployed whose territory covers the
United States and parts of Canada.
Branch Offices are located in New
York. Chicago, Detroit and Pitts
burgh.
At the beginning OF the war the
primary colors were being obtained
from Germany. With many other
firms, the O'B:len Co, found itself
facing a serious shortage of these
dye colors. They met the situation
by manufacturing the yellow and
red themselves. and buying the
blue from another company. These
are chemically pure aye colors,
and this fact is only another in
stance of American ingenuity over
coming what Germany did not be-
lieve possible.
In the plant 125 men are en-
ployed. Earl 5. Dickens is sales
and publicity manager. A print
ing establishment of its own en-
ables the company to get out all the
catalogues and other mail adver-
tisements necessary.

company has for it's business slogan
"Varnish makers for half century"
When Patrick O'Brien first came TO
South Bend he secured employment
with the Studebaker brothers. who
were then turning out the best car
riages in the country. The position
he obtained at that time was in the
finishing department OF the carriage
works. which means that ne applied
the paint to the bodies of the wagons
before they were sent out 10 the
trade or put on exhibition in the
sales department.
It was while he was engaged in
finishing the bodies of these car
riages that his fertile mind began
20 conceive methods whereby this
work could be made easier and a
better appearance given TO the
finishes. He studied this problem
assiduously, finally hitting upon the
scheme of applying varnish to the
carriages while still hot.
Wins Wide Demand.
He Immediately had this process
patented, and the big demand for
mis- product which came pouring in
from leading carriage makers OF
the country resulted in his found
ing of the O'Brien Narnish works.
Soon after he had opened the mod
est little firm which advertised the
fact that they were varnish max
ers, the business grew so rapidly

More successful results than ever

The interests OF special classes in
work with disabled men will be given

employers OF the community. IN
this country there has not as yet been
extensive activity on the part OF the
disa bled soldiers, but in France and

PUBLIC HEALTH
SERVICE FIGHTS
VENERAL DISEASE

The Oklahoma State Board OF
Health and the United States Pub
lie Health Service are cooperating
in campaign against yenereal dis
eases which will be intensive and
statewide. Lieutenant A. !. Nc
Laughlin, who has won a deserved
reputation as one Of the most conf
petent and efficient men in the SER
vice in this line OF work has been
detailed to this state, representing
the government. The State Health
Department is cooperating yigor-
ously in this campaign.
But to make the campaign a real
success, to accomplish the things
which should be accomplished and
to make Oklahoma a clean, healthy
state, more than the activities OF
government and state agencies is
needed. There is need for the CO.
operation OF every right-minded
man and woman in this state, OF
every official, OF every editor, OF
every person who has influence in
his or her community. 1t is a COM
munity matter, a question which
concerns the safety OF every family
in every community in the state.
Seriousness of the Problem
Despite all that has been said
and written, there still are many
persons who do not appreciate the
Importance oi the yenereal dis
ease problem. 1t is one OF the
most serious health questions
which this country and our own
state has TO lace. The men who
arc drafted into the army were
the pick OF America. Yet the per
centage OF victim, OF vcuercal dis
case was greater by many times
than that OF any other disease, in
some greater than those OF all 9th
cr diseases combined.
1t must be remembered that ven
ereal diseases are highly infectious
and that in many cases the worst
victims are innocent sufferers.
There has been, for too many years
in this country a policy Of silence,
OF not telling the public the real
conditions. IT is largely because
OF this mistaken policy that the evil
has grown to be as terrible as it is.
Ii people in general knew the facts
in regard to venercal diseases and
the misery they are responsible ior,
there would be an instant and
overwhelming demand for meas
ures to eliminate them.
Public Support Needed
The federal government has ap-
propriated $4,000 for use in Okla
homa from the present time to
July lst, 1910, as this states share
in the nationwide campaign. The
state is expected to appropriate at
least a similar amount. The meas
ures which it is proposed to take
are practical ones. Provision is
being made for the proper treat
ment OF persons who are suffering
from such diseases. Provisions arc
also being made to prevent the
spread OF infection. The position
