The chief aim of this company is to provide the building l trade with the most durable sheet metal materials that can be constructed. We , feel sure that after the clear explanation we received, none of us will err in our selection of roofing plates, furnace accessories, art metal ceilings or eaves troughs i r for our future homes. A recent development of this plant is an all-metal bill- , 1 itil b i i board. 'S Y i i i iiimli viii l Concluding our survey, we visited the Hanson Clutch Company, the Tiflin , l iw, l Manufacturing Company, and the Sterling Grinding Wheel Company. At these p l ,Iliff A s factories we watched the different processes in the making of clutches, delved' 3? Vi i deep into the mysteries of mold preparation and observed the various steps in the 1 ll , l l l building of church furniture. A specialty of the Sterling Grinding Wheel Com- l i l . wi f l ll. 5 pany is the more scientific grinding wheel which has replaced the old-fashioned ly if A , ' emery wheel. lt was hard to realize that grinding wheels could serve so many li ll ll 7 -.- V p purposes.

N500 machines. To the uninitiated, it seems nothing short of magical to see metal wrought into such strange and intricate shapes. It was quite fascinating to Watch plain steel enter the machines and emerge full-grown rivets, nails and bolts. Here we were also given our first glimpse of the making of blueprints. observing besides the process, the care with which the original drawings and the blueprints are kept in a vault surrounded by a five-foot Wall. Our next stopping-place was the Webster Manufacturing Company, where in the foundry, We had the opportunity to see the pouring of malleable and cast iron into sand molds. What a Wonderful sight! Men, carrying molten iron in buckets like Water, were fashioning it into any shape they desired. In another part of the factory we were shown a large mining machine in operation. This machine is becoming one of the main products of the Webster plant. We were surely receiving a surfeit of novel and interesting experiences for the object of our next excursion was the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company. It is the largest pottery of its kind in the World, We saw sanitary accessories of all kinds in the making and after they had received finishing touches. It seemed almost inconceivable that so much care and trouble could go into the articles which we use so casually. In this factory, we first became acquainted with plaster of Paris molds.
