II not more new Industrial plants in

board Steel Corporation. has greatly
encouraged local business men and
workers.
1t is reported that as soon as pos
sible after the vote is counted, pro-
viding for the merging Of the Penn
Seaboard Corporation with and the
changing of the name to Carpenter
Steel. the Baldt plant will begin
/ operations. II is said the local
plant will continue to turn out in
gots or bloom steel, that will be
shipped to other plants OF the cor
poration TO be made into razor
blades, high grade tools and tool
steel.
Nearly one-half OF the working
class residing here are now employ
ed in Wilmington, Chester and Mar

these men as they prefer to be en-
ployed at home.
