LeUerhulme Built
Up Big Industry

The passing of Lord Leverhulme,
the great soap magnate, has focused
widespread attention on the tremen-
dous daily output of that commodity
from the works he founded at Port
Sunlight.
In 1885, when the firms first boiling
OF soap was made at the original fac
tory at Warrington, the output was
20 tons week. Now it is over 1000
tons week, necessitating the employ
ment of 10000 workers and the use of
100000 packing cases a year. The
latter requires the consumption of
100000 tons of wood.
Port Sunlight was founded in 1889,
the site having been selected by Lord
Leverhulme himself in his search for
suitable riverside factory premises. In
10 years the business had grown so
large that the site of the factories
was extended to 800 acres. The trains
employed annually in carrying goods
from the factories would, if placed end
to end, reach from Liverpool to Lon
don London Tit-Bits.
