CAPACITY OF FOUR CARLOADS DAILY

The new creosoting plant will be ready for business no later than Sept. 1. The plant is the biggest in the U.S. of its particular type. The two treating pits have each a capacity of a carload at a time, about twice the capacity of any other pits in the country. As each pit can turn out its full capacity twice daily, there can be four cars of treated piles at the end of each day’s work.

The plant when running at capacity will employ from fifteen to twenty men.
