Company Gains New Customers.
In spite of the world business de-
preston, The Zonolite Company is
steadily gaining new customers and
holding its old ones A recent new
customer, states Mr.. Alley, is the Bur
CESS Battery Company OF Madison,
Wis This company specializes in the
manufacture of intake silencers and
automobile mufflers. II has contracted
VI kdhC HUH SENEIA W L. NeaA VANS -
Zonolite per month or an annual basis
after two years Of experimental work.
Two cars were shipped to this company
within the past few days.
A bake oven manufacturing company
in Michigan has contracted for carload
lots and the first carload has been
shipped and the second carload is
now being loaded. This company man
ufactures ovens for the baking OF
enamel on bathtubs, electric refrigera-

A new agency for Zonolite in Kan
sas City has contracted to take min
| imum of three cars month and has
placed its order for the first three
cars. In addition to these there are
many other companies that are using
Zonolite steadily and that are order
ing it in small and, large amounts.
Large Demand in Canada.
The Dominion Stucco Company has
found ready sale for its product
in Canada. 1t has developed an espe
cially large demand for its Zonolite-
gypsum insulating plaster There is no
sand used in this new plaster, if is
therefore much lighter than the old
product, and the saving in freight ex-
pense and weight in the construction
Of large buildings is remarkable. Also
| it does not crack so readily as does
common plaster These favorable char
acteristics are creating heavy de-
mand for ii in the dominion, and the
company is also finding ready sale
for its other Zonolite products. Its ex-
perience with Zonolite has been SO al
together encouraging that it induced
them to take this greater interest in
the Libby company and to underwrite
the new issue of stock.
See Big Expansion Coming.
The officers and stockholders Of
The Zonolite Company are enthusiastic
over its future With the additional
capital now available and with the
valuable connections that have now
been made, they feel confident, states
Mr.. Alley. that the future of the COM
pany is assured and that it will stead
j lily move forward into large and prof.
liable industry. For this happy con-
summation. much is due Mr.. Alley. II
was he who first conceived the plans
for the development of the then I'M
known mineral to which he later gave
the trade name of Zonolite, and it has
been through his persistent endeavoI
and constant faith in the product that
it finally has been developed to its
present promising condition
