ADAMS PLATING
co. TO INSTALL !
PLANT ADDITION
1000 More Feet of Floor
Space Needed to Care
For Business.

A new addition containing 1000
square feet of floor space has been
opened by the Adams Plating Com
pany, 1873 West Tenth street, as the
result of constantly growing bust
ness.
Albert P. Kriese, production man.
ager, today said the companys busi-
ness is greater than ever before In
its history for this season. Instead
of falling off in the fall, as usually
is the case, business is continuing
at the usual spring and early sum-
mer pace.
RepIate Stoves
Most of the plating work being
done by the firm at present is re-
plating stove trimmings for home
owners. A large amount of automo-
bile plating also is being done.
Ninety per cent of the firms busi-
ness is chromium plating. Chrome
plating, the latest development in
the plating industry, consists of ap-
plying a coat of chromium over a
previous coating of copper and
nickel, producing an exceedingly
brilliant and hard, nontarnishing
surface with a blush cast resem-
bling polished aluminium.
Many working parts of automo-
biles are being chromium plated
over the bare metal for hardness
and durability. For appearance,
rather than hardness, chromium is
applied over a nickel plated surface.
Work on Stutz Bodies
Much work is done by the firm
for the Weymann American Body
Company, which makes fine bodies
for Stutz and other higher priced
automobiles.
The firm was organized ten years
ago by Thomas, Robert and Edward
Adams, the present owners, who,
by taking an active part in the oper-
alton of the plant, insure the high
est efficiency and quality work at a
reasonable price because of the lower
overhead cost.
