Discharges Lease,
Moves To Reed Bldg.

The deed and lease on the
S. G. Brown building and lot,
located on West Playground
street, to the three trustees, rep
resenting the Noble County
Chamber of Commerce and "a
business and professional men,
will be completed today, Thurs
day, and the expansion program
planned by the Cozier Container
Corp, together with all the
added business achievement in
cident thereto, will become
reality.
Dan Barlow, local plant super
intendent, in conservation with
The Journal today, stated that
work will get underway inn
mediately by the corporation to
modernize the building and ade-
quately facilitate the newly &C
quired building, which will house
much of the new machinery to be
installed according to plans as de-
tailed for the Caldwell branch.
Spearheaded by Chamber Presi-
dent Bolon Farmhouse, and assisted
by Clarence j. Estadt, secretary, and
Walter Quick, chairman of the new
industries committee, solicitations
were made and "a business and pro-
fessional men responded In the
drive to secure the needed $6,O00.00,
necessary to acquire the Brown
building and adjoining lot.
The Cozier Container Corp. is oc-
cupying the building on rental
payment basis, and after the expir-
alton of ten years, the building will
revert to the corporation as its
property. A five year lease was
given the trustees, Edw. l.. Merry,
Donald L. HarkinS, and w. Vernon
Archer. The trustees were deslg-
mated by ballot at the conclusion of
the fund raising campaign In June.
Installation of huge rip saws and
swing-out saws will get underway
in the very near future, according to
present plans. 1t is through this
operation that native lumber will
be processed and cut to size for con-
sumption in the new wire bound
machine, WHICH Ids OCC1l IA doS AOA
the past two weeks.
To assure continued operation on
the wire bound machine, it was
necessary to acquire the Brown
building, where the supply of needed
material will be prepared. AT full
production, the output on the wire
bound machine will actually reach
110 completed boxes in one hours
time. To efficiently operate the
machine, a crew of seven men is
necessary. 1t is expected that a Sec
ond of these machines will be in
stalled in the near future.
The new wire bound box is an
other product manufactured in
addition to the panel crate for which
the factory was originally planned
at the start of operation last Octo-
Der.
The Ohio Associated Telephone
Co. discharged their lease on the
Brown building and have moved to
the Dean A. Reed building on Pop
lar street, where finer and larger
quarters are at their convenience.
A financial consideration was
necessary, the difference in rental
fees between the two buildings, be-
fore vacancy declaration was made
by the telephone company. This OBJ
legation was shared in part primarily
by Mr.. Barlow and Mr.. Brown.
1t is expected that once operations
reach to capacity, the Caldwell
branch of the Cozier Container
Corp. will employ approximately
$50 men and women.
Citizens and business men alike
are receiving the news with elation
that Cozier selected the Caldwell
branch in their expansion program,
and everything possible is being
done to expedite the concluding
matters.
This achievement is outstanding in
formulating an industrial develop
ment program for Caldwell and
Noble county, and in so doing a
solution to the current labor prob
