Housed now in what its OPP
orators declare is the most mod
7erniy and completely equipped
plant of its kind in the country
the FenoIe Chemical Company
451 Riverside avenue, is running
night and day in a successful eff
fort to meet the great demand fol
its products throughout the Unit
ed States.
The Fenole Company resumed
operations in the recently COM
pleted plant about two weeks ago,
its old quarters, at the same site,
having been destroyed by fire. As
soon as the debris left by the con-
flagration had been cleared, con-
struction of the new house began,
and the work was rushed to COM
pletion.
Great care was exercised in
planning and building the new
. plant. Only the very latest devices
and machinery necessary to the
manufacture Of Fenole products
were installed. This was done at
great expense, officials of the
company point out, but it is also
true that with these new and bet
ter tools, a higher degree of eff
cheney is reached than was ever
. before known, despite the enviable
reputation the Fenole Company
. has always borne for services and
purity of product.
In speaking of the new equip
ment, particular attention was
called to an automatic boiler,
( which supplies steam for the cook
ing and heating vats employed in
the plant. With an adjustment,
this boiler is set ready for opera
ton For the entire day, without
any further observation or care.
When the required pressure has
been reached in the steam chests,
it shuts off automatically. If the
water supply in the boiler runs
low, machinery is set in motion by
device which attends to the mat
ter probably better than an engi-
neer.
Materials used in the manufac-
ture of Fenole products are all
Transferred from the preparing
boilers, to the filling machines by
force Of gravity, thus eliminating
cumbersome and old-fashioned
pumping devices.
1t is impossible to appreciate
the efficiency of the new Fenole
plant without personal inspec-
ton of it. Officials declare they
. feel positive it is the best equip
ped factory of It's kind in the
United States.
The Fenole Chemical Company
is Florida institution, establish
ed Is years ago at Tampa. 1t is
probably one Of the best known
concerns in the state and its pro-
I ducts have wide circulation, not
only over Florida, but over the
entire United States.
Among the best known products
are: Wintergreen Fenole insect.

On account of the great demand
now being made upon the Fenole
