LATHE WORKS NOW
IMPORTANT PLANT
0'Brien Brothers Head of One
of City'S important
Industries.

In the munition factories OF the
world the name of South Bend was
carried there by the South Bend
Lathe works. The plant, which is
lcated in the old Singer factory,
was established about 10 years ago
by j. ]. and NJ. w. O'Brien. BY
careful management and the pro-
duction OF excellent lathes the ini-
tial shop which was located in the
western part OF the city grew into
one of the most thriving industries
in South Bend.
More than "a different size lathes
are turned out by the local plant
The different floors of the shop and
divided into complete divisions, each
under the supervision of a fore
man. Only the one style lathe in diff
ferent sizes is made. The lathes can
be regulated down to the one-thou-
sandth part OF an inch. The polish
ing and fitting of the various parts is
done by expert workmen and the
gear cutting machines work with un-
failing accuracy. In the manufac-
turing of the lathes the company
uses its own product. About 500
men are employed in the construc-
tion OF the lathes.

Years Ago.

Among the many electrical repair
shops the Union Electric Co. stands
out as probably the largest and
best equipped shop in Northern

The Union Electric Co. was started
in small brick building that stood

stands. The business grew so fast
that in n short time 70 was necessary

In eight years the business Of this
company has grown from $4,000 10

Every piece or repair work is ac-
curately recorded in this office be-

is kept at 20 degrees. The room is
electric lighted, clean and bright. no
sawdust or other material touch the
ice and it goes from mere to the de-
livery wagons direct with no hand
ling. The main storage room has a
capacity OF 10000 tons. with dupli-
cate storage space in the basement
below which can be used if desired.
Another portion of the plant is being
arranged for storage purposes and
it is the intention later TO keep the
machines in operation all the year
round.

than two-thiris of the meat markets
in the city. They also have a large
share of the ice cream, dairy, res
taurant and private residence trade.
They believe that when the citizens
of this community once learn OF the
advantages, both from a sanitary
point of view as we'll as economical,
of using artificial ice made from
pure artesian well water, that they
will never again be satisfied with
pond ice. This has been their eX-
perience elsewhere and these men
have come into South Bend and in
vested their money, quietly and with
out urging or any special induce
ments, because they believe the city
will support their plant
Quite a number Of skilled ice
makers are employed and some OF
these men with their families have
been brought to South Bend by the
new industry, and practically every
dollar spent by this company re-
mains in the city.
