 Bessemer. Ala. Sept. 20 {.
 The Bessemer Galvanizing Works, Inc, will build a large plant at Bes- semer in the near future, it Is stated on good authority, the undertaking to be financed by Tennessee capitalists. Well-founded information is to the effect that the company has been formed and a site for the plant sold to them in south Bessemer by the Bessemer Coal, Iron and Land com- pany. The land company, it Is un- derstood through it's industrial de- partment has been negotiating with this concern some time.
 No information has been secured as to tho size of the plant to be erected here, though 1t Is stated the products will be sold largely to power concerns for use in the erection of galvanized steel, structural towers for transmits sion lines, and to the foundries of the immediate district. The company, it is stated, will manufacture steel and iron shapes for many purposes, using the "hot process"
 There has been need for a plant of this kind in the district for some time, as there is a big demand in the immediate territory for galvanized products. It Is understood that con struction of the Bessemer plant will be started at once, and will be ready
 
 ENTERTAIN FOREIGN EXPERTS
 Plans were discussed at the Thursday luncheon of the Rotary club for the entertainment of the delega- ton of health and sanitation experts from abroad who will visit Bessemer October II. iThis delegation is repre- senting governments of Europe and South America and will inspect the large Industrial plants of the district, with a view of learning their methods of handling health and recreation measures for their employees.
 There are about twenty in the dele gation and they will spend one day at Bessemer. 1t was suggested that the Rotary club, with other civic bodies, entertain the visitors at lunch and this will be taken up with the Kiwanis club and the Chamber of Commerce.
 Rev. B. T. Waites made short talk on business ethics at the Thursday luncheon.
