disposal, and in the course Of one
month we succeeded in setting up all
lathes and machines. We named our
factory First of May" We began to
produce concrete elevators, solution
mixers, and tanks for high electric
pressure. Formerly all these applian-

adopt ourselves to the new form OF
production.

factory grew from a few dozen to
several hunderd. We are now COM
