Postwar Plans of
Iron Fireman to
Be Revealed Soon

Plans for postwar operations OF
the Iron Fireman Manufacturing
Co. are based on expanded pro-
duction of speciality products and
will be released as soon as the
goernment makes available mater
ials and manpower for regular in
dustrial production, according to
word received by Elmer Gee, Iron
Fireman dealer in Wyandotte.
Gee said that T. H. Banfield,
president of the stoker manufac-
turing company. reported the COM
pany's sales volume during 1914 as
$18,659,321, which is the largest
annual volume in its history except
in 1913 when marine engines were
made by the industrial plant which
burned down in February of last
year.
The volume consisted principally
Of war production, including parts
for high priority Bog Super For
tresses, bomb fuses and snow cruis-
ers, a new product developed by
Iron Fireman for search and rescue
work by the air corps. In addition
the company has maintained manu-
facture of the large commercial
stokers for heat and steam produc-
ton in war plants throughout
America.
The net profit after taxes was
reported as $66S,838 equivalent to
S1.86 share on 359,91O shares out
standing.
Since Iron Firemen IS the ma
tons leading manufacturer of stok-
ers in commercial-indust sizes,
and was the first to make domestic
stokers it apparently will be able to
reach the consumer market first
with its products, said Gee.
Home Owners, and owners of
business and commercial properties
who contemplate stoker installa-
tons should acquaint us now with
details concerning their heating
problems" said Gee.
