In6 glass factory and the auto
mobile factory in Jacksonville are
making progress and the Leesburg
Commercial says of the paper making
plant in that city: With the foun-
dations set for the 100000 pound
steam plant and the electric genera
tor which is about fourteen feet in
diameter, the work of laying the
brick walls of the power plant at
the Grass Fibre Pulp and Paper Cor
poration mill here has started. Brick
for the power plant is from the Wal
ker kilns at Whitney. this brick
having the unusual properties of be-
coming harder and more substantial
with age rather than deteriorating as
is the case with so many red clay
brick manufactured farther north. Two
carloads have been sent in and
three walls will be raised before the
machinery is placed, thus giving all
the time possible for the concrete
foundations to set.
