 .~ While no striking developments s,irc expected at the Fafnir plant, .ho M*rkct outlook has changed So that t gradual improvement Is expected and in fact actually has started. In tho opinion O. A. G. Way, secretary, who with Mr. Stanley and Har- Y Dryden advertising manager. discussed business conditions with q Horald representative yesterday, tho low peak Of business seems 10 have bcen reached f not actually passed, ,. One Of the many reasons why tafnir officials have reached the above conclusion IS the fact that new markets are opening up and de- laands for Fafuir bearings are he inG made for many new uses.
 "A western salesman Yesterday talcphoncd Nr, Stanley an order for sg0ooo worth of Fafnir bearings 10 l5b used for cquippng gasoline road rollers. q new Use for ball bearings. -.The firm which proposes build fife road rollers had intended 10 vat until next fall, believing that improved business conditions would lrold off until that time. The change sf plans and issuing Of the order at tIis time is one Of the indications, according 10 officials of the local concern, that business is on the up grade.
 .sGreatcr demand for products Of tAe Tafnir plant are being reported ny the sales department daily. al- though the increased business Is so gradual that no increase in the working force or working hours la contemplated at this time.
 The plant now is working on q 4O hour week, similar 10 that of many other focal factories. Any in- crease which may como will be sIadual and will affect each depart nent separately as more demands ave made for products Of that de Hartment. The labor department Gantemplates hiring no extra help for the present.
 ~Among the products Of the plant Which have attracted attention lately Ia the spring shackle bearing, which is designed to prevent squcaks in au- ttn obile springs. The shacklc, de signed originally for use on new cars, is being sold more rapidly Tor l'eplaCemcnts. 1t is said. The now car trade has not vet shown the nents with Fafnir shackles through odt the country arc becoming quite an important factor to the local plant.
