Says Zonodte
rEN0W In
ASCendenCY
Orders Booked and in Sight
Already Greater Than
Output of Last Year.
MANY NEW USES
ARE BEING FOUND

That the demand for Zonolite is in
creasing in an unprecedented degree
is the report given out by c. l.. En-
mons Of Kalispell, president of the
company, and of which company E. N.
Alley of Libby is vice president and
general manager, the industry having
been developed by Mr.. Alley. An ar
tiele in the Kalispell Monitor given
out by Mr.. Emmons, says:
According to information received
from Libby this week by President
c. L. Emmons of the Zonolite COM
pany, the general market for the
product is increasing by leaps and
bounds and the outlook for 1929 is
far better than any time since Zono-
lite was discovered, more than ten
years ago. A big eastern firm, after
giving the material an exhaustive
test, has written the Libby office ask
ing if they can contract to furnish
them "a carloads during 1929, which
with the order already received from
Hollywood, means 100 carloads of
new business already for 1929, with
the year only started. These are in
addition to the big increase in de-
mand registered in 1928 In 1927 the
increase IN the output Of Zonolite
was 200 per cent greater than 1926
and 1928 leads 1927 by nearly 800
per cent, most of this increase COM
ing in the last four months of the
year. The orders now in and in sight
will exceed the whole output for 1928
Mr.. Emmons said.
The prominent moving picture COM
panies are becoming heavy users of
Zonolite. Last year the Warner
Bros. used 20 carloads or more and at
this time the National Picture COM
pany has in an order for 81 cars The
picture companies are using Zonolite
for their studios. 1t is said that Zono-
lite excclls other material for sound
exclusion, is fire proof and has won
derful acoustic properties that make
1t very valuable for vitaphone pro-
ducing.It will only be d short time
until all the studios will use Zonolite
and it is now being looked into for
theaters.
Use Zonolite In Tires.
The uses for Zonolite are also de-
veloping as time goes on and expert
ments advance. 1t has owadeveloped
that one tire manufacturing company
has found use for Zonolite in the
manufacture of automobile tires. AS a
result, the Zonolite company has cir
cularized many tire manufacturing
concerns and up to last week received
inquiries from 80 manufacturers, ask
ing for samples of Zonolite for the
purpose Of experimenting This new
use is expected to develop big
source of consumption of the ma
terial.
There are number Of things now
in the making, which are expected to
mature within the next sixty days
that will open up new avenues for
Zonolite, and one IDEAL in particular
that is now pending, if successfully
ccnsummated, will make Zonolite one
Of the leading industries in the west.

practically closed and will lead to
