NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-American

manufacture of fiber containers
for shells for the United States
government on a fixed fee basis.
The new facilities are being set
up in leased plant near Chicago
which the company will operate.

Iment, and should he ready for pro-
duction around the start of the
year.
American Cans long experience
in the container field enabled them
to undertake this production which
will account for substantial part
of the total need for such con-
tanners. which will be made to fit
several sizes of shells. However.
the containers are of a larger size
than anything similar previously
undertaken by the company.
American Can already is partici-
pating directly in the defense
effort through considerable
volume of subcontracting work in
its machine shops probably ac-
counting for around one-half OF
shop capacity.
| Sales of packers cans have been
stimulated by purchases for the
armed forces of both the United
States and Great Britain and gen.
