sonaIly showed the visitors thru the
plant, and the Lennox Furnace Com
pany, where the process thru which
steel furnaces pass from the raw ma
terial stage TO the finished product
were explained by Edward c. Carlson.
Altho many Of the editors knew that
Marshalltown boasted Of being the
home Of the largest plant in the world

In larger cities thousands Of
