Mr. Cabbot has purchased the rest of the bottom where the Carbon Factory
is located, making in all about 13-1/4 acres. This he expects soon
to have covered with buildings and machinery which will make it the largest
plant of the kind in the United States. He is preparing to put in
a 6-inch pipe line from the gas wells on Leaf Bank to the factory, the
4-inch line now in use being too small to convey sufficient gas for the
increased number of plates he is having put in. A large force of
hands are kept at work all the time on the new buildings and machinery,
in addition to those who work in the factory. Genial Lou Bickle,
than whom where is no better hearted person living, is foreman of these
works. |
