program of the Robinson owned
building. This work enabled Noble
county's newest enterprise to be-
gin operation sooner than was ex-
pected.
The renovating of this building
required the expenditure of several
thousands of dollars. A new con-
crete floor was laid to facilitate
conveying of needed material
throughout the building, and also
proved advantageous in locating
the machinery.
AT the present time a new con-
crete block building is being
erected near the railroad siding,
adjacent to the Robinson building.
Its completion in the near future
will provide additional storage
space and will aid in expediting
the finished product.
Dan Barlow, plant superinten-
dent, and Joseph Gillombardo, pro-
duction manager, are maintaining
production far exceeding earlier
expectations. Employment at this
plant, it is reported. will reach ap-
proximately 125 by midsummer.
Caldwell Produce Company
Faced with a near shutdown"
in 1945, as the result of the disas-
trous fire, the Caldwell Produce
Company zoomed back in the local
industrial limelight with an un-
daunted determination to operate
bigger and better. A building pro-
gram was launched and during the
past year great strides were ac-
complished in bringing about a
plant comparable second to none.
Although the huge building pro-
gram begged occasionally because
of material shortages, the building
formerly occupied by the Snider
planning mill, on East street, was
completely rebuilt. Located in the
rear of this building is the newly
installed chicken picker and stor-
age tanks. The front houses the
egg department, including receiv-
ing, Gambling and shipping rooms.
The new building on Cumber-
land street, site of the razed struc-
ture, is practically completed and
ready for occupancy. Plant re-
arrangements are in order, and this
assignment alone entails moving of
entire departments from one build
ing to another. Installing new
equipment, likewise, is contribut-
ing factor in making this plant
complete and modern.
Owned and operated by Henry
Brumbach and Ralph Brumbach,
the Caldwell Produce Company
has promoted an unheralded era
of building and plant expansion,
attesting their confidence in Noble
county's agricultural aggressive
ness, as well as an industrial loca-
tion.

SEEN
AS '48 CHOICE

CHAPEL HILL, April u -
-PDPresident Harry Truman
is the very likely choice" for
democratic presidential
nominee in 1948 and a demo-
cratic victory depends on an
expected record turnout of
voters" Mrs. Charles w. Til
lett of Charlotte, vice-chairman
of the national democratic COM
mitee, said in an address here.
Mrs. Tillett, who spoke in
Graham Memorial under the
auspices of the University's Y.
W. C. A., said democratic
strength is shown when there is
a sizeable vote. We are now
working toward having so, 0OO,-
200 voters registered for the
1913 election. The static, more
conservative vote, which is al
ready registered, accounted for
the republican victory last fall,
along with a general apathy on
the part of all voters. Many po-
tential democratic votes lie in
the unregistered voters"
Speaking on women in poll
tics,' Mrs. Tillett emphasized
that "the smartest politicians
now realize that at least so per
cent of the voting strength rests
with the women. .
