ana rolling mill division of the
Galesburg Coulter Disc Company at

factors in an industrial and business
survey of Indiana for the past week,
completed today.
Another bright spot in the weeks
news is location of plant at Mum
Gle by the Hoosier Top and Body
Company, which also has repair
plant at Daleville. The company
manufactures all-metal school bus
bodies and an auto disappearing
bed. 1t now has orders for sixty
five bodies and 200 are expected
within a short time.
Furnaces to Be Installed
The program of the rolling mill
at Newcastle includes installation
of three more electric furnaces in
addition to the one now operated.

is gained from the fact that the
power bill for one is 100000 year.
