The Universal Glass and lfanufacturing Company, Incorporated, baa definitely taken over the plant of the Western steel and Foundry Company at Midvale, eonsisttng of approximately 63 acres of land, together with all buildings and improvements thereon, according to Amos Epperson, president of the concern. It is expected, Mr. Epperson saya, that the new industry wUl be produciDg 'befqre the end of M:&rch. The announcement was made 'two weeks ago in tbe Journal that the corporation had signed lea.aea for the property, which includes buUdlvp and improvements w;ith 57,200 square feet of floor space, together Wft1l. machine shopS. wareh~uses and Office ooms. Since that ~t work has progressed rapidly, &ad It is expected that the next three lllODths will bring about a marked ch•vce in Midvale. The prospects of the company are that n large number of loc!\1 men will be employed in the manufadure of glass and f.'l&SS products til Mtdvalc'3ome predict that 1500 wo~ will be employed by the firm '8.lld th"t a -uarket for all of the pl'Oduot.e of the factory wUl be readily foUDCL Spurs AlreacJ.y In The Untoa Pacific and tbe Denver ~ B1n G~,. W~flrn rallro._ have spurs pnd tra.ekqle extendbi&' through the entire p1"9P8rty. The Universal GlMB and Manufacturin~ Company was organized and incorporatet.'l under the laws of the State of Utah on February 6, 1980. l'he members of the board of directors are: Joseph F. Lloyd, S. w. )(anntng, D. M. Todd, Jr., Amos Epperson, Uno. G. Peterton, J. E. Westover, John M. Hays, Dr. A. L. Brown, and A. L. Kartchner. S .•w. Manning, the superintendent, who has come to the Universal Glass and Manufacturing company as an expert from Pennsylvania, is thoroughly experienced 1n glass making in every detail, according to directors of the firm. He has acted in the capaclty of wperintendent in several of the large glass plants of the world over a period of more than 40 years. SWca Testa mgh The tlrm owns and controls four of the highest testing silica beds in the tar west ,it is claimed, one of which excels any known in the world. Thi8 slllca will produce one of the highest classes of glass that can possibly be made, 1~ is said. The company also owns two onyx beds with large deposits, which material is essential in the manufacture of glass. According to a survey of this project made by the Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce, it is conservative to say that a market for 600 carloads of bottles yearly can be found without going outside of the exclusive trade zone, and the freight rates from Midvale district are extremely fav.able. In addttion to bottles, contatue.ra and pressed glass products, it is said by members of the firm that this concern has patents pending for the exelusive use and manufacture of gla.a markets and monuments which can be made in any color or combination of colora. COQUNJTY CLUB TO NEW AIITO DEVICE TO BE lADE IN IIDVALE SPONSOR "GIFI"' PARTY Manufacture of the John A. Padjen supercharger, a contrivance to be attached to the carburetor of an automobile, 18 soon to begin in Midvale. John Padjen. a local boy, invented the supercharger and was granted United States patents last July. Work was immediately commenced on making diea uad eqUipment for the produc· tion of the article and it is expected that thl8 equipment wUl be ready to begin manufacture within the coming week. S. K. Woolf and Frank S. Shirley, w1rto are partners in the company ~ organized to distribute the Me"ffD air brake, are joining forces to ..-ket the product of the Padjen t&eto!rY. The supercharger is designed to fit between the carburetor and the ma.n1fold pf a gasoUne motor and ~the vapor with air. There are 110111e cars in Midvale- already equipped with the devJ,oe, and mucll praise 18 given Pad.jeil for his inventton. The entire output of the factory will be marketd from Midvale, Mr. Woolf ua4 Kr. Shlrley anDOUDOO. ' Much Study Given . Aceordlng to an article based on a ber of commerce survey of the tion and pubUshed in the AIDerGlass Review, a national trade urnal: "The manufacture of glass in Salt J,.ake City and surrounding territory Is a subject that in recent months baa been given great consideration by the Salt Lake Clty Chamber of Commerce and a number of industrial organizations in the city whose aim it is to !Promotei the progress of the district. ~xhaustlve tests' have. been made and ;wvesttga.t.i.ons carried out which demonstrate that practically aU the raw materlala necessa.ry in the manufacture of glass are located virtually at one's door in this territory and that in additioll'"'luel may be had at a cheapness that is amazing. In addition transportaUon faclllties are excellent and it ·Is the flrm beUef of the chamber of commerce that there is a ready market within a small radius. "The great disadvantage in the past, of course, has been the lack of a. market. But it is felt that now, through the lncrea.slng population in the t~e territory served from Salt Lake City, there is a ready market. Especially so is thl8 felt to be the case at the preaent time, for a manufacturer of mUk bottles, beverage ~Wes, etc. Particular efforts are tMll*g made to point out the value of this center as the location of a bottle plant. "As a result of the investigations that ~ve been carried on, the followin~ datiL has been compiled: 'The populatton of the states in the trade territory, which includes Utah, Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona .and New Mexico, exceeds 2,400,000 persons, with Salt Lake City, having a population of 140,000. "Within 40 mUes of Salt Lake City and exclusive of the population ot the city are towns with a totar populatlon of more than 125,000. · "In addition, extensioD of trade into the more denay P9Pulated states of California, Oregon and Washington, Is by no means an impossibility. Balla Bun Close "So far as transportation 18 COD· cerned, five main trunk lines, the Union Pacific, Los Angeles and Salt Lake. Oregon Short Line, Western Pacific and Denver and Rio Grande center in Salt Lake City affording freight and express facilltles in all directions. ''Taxes, it 18 pointed out, are low, the ratErt for all purposes including city, county and state, amounting to f31.50 per $1,000 based on 8Q per cent valuation, with no manufactures gross sales or state income tax to ~ added. "Figures recently compiled by the chamber of commerce show that the eleven western states of Utah, Idaho Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Call~ fornla, ArlzoDa, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, annually consume milk bottles valued at ~.500,000. beverage bottles worth $11S ...600.000, and drug bottles valued at $14,000,000. In addition, in the state of Utah there is a condition which the c~ber of COJPDlerce ui glad to explain, which results in a per capita. consumption of milk and beverage bottles greater perhaps than in any other state in the Union." I All of the gitta collected wUl be turned over to the committee recently appointed to assist the needy of the communtty. The committee conalata of .ll.&yor L. A. Porter, Blahop A. P.

Do you favor Free City Mail Delivery, by carrier, for Midvale? ) At -the regular meeting of the Midvale Lions club held in Firemen's hall Thursday evening, a committee was appointed to arrange for Christmas activities in behalf of the club. It was decided that the organization would sponsor the bringing to Midvale of a Santa Claus for either one or two days preceding Christmas to distribute presents to the children of the vicinity. It was voted that the distribution of gifts be not confined to Midvale kiddies but that they would arrange with Santa Claus to bring a sufficient number of presents to provide for anv children from surrounding towns and localities who might be in Midvale during the time of his visit. Harry Grass, president of the Midvale Poultry association, read a letter from the Utab Poultry Producers Cooperative association, inviting any member, or a committee of members of the Lions club to visit the offices at Salt Lake City and go into the records of the association. This was in defense of certain rumors alleged to have been circulated to the detriment of the officers of the state association and reflecting on methods used by them in conducting the affairs of the body. Vote to Support The club voted to appoint a committee to accept the invitation and named Mr. Grass, J. A. Alcorn and D. M. Todd, Jr., as the committee. They were to inspect the affairs of the state association and report their findings. Mr. Todd reported that he had already been in contact with some of the officials of the state group, and that from all he had been able to learn the rumors he had heard were unfounded, and the club went on record as standing solidly behind the state association. The club also went on record as favoring the appropriation by the city council of funds to post street signs ln. Midvale to comply with postal regulations necessary before a free mail delivery could be established h"re. Postmaster Goff has stated th:~.t the government will provide mail carriers, giving work to local men, as soon as the city complies with the street posting requirement. He also said it was his belief that if the free delivery system went into operation there would be no change in the present manner in which the local postoffice is handled. To Take Vote A large number of persons in Midvale have expressed a desire for the free mail delivery system, and the club decided to install a ballot box in the postoffice lobby in which to receive a straw vote on the proposition. In this issue of the Journal is a ballot on which citizens are asked to express their choice of systems of delivering mall and deposit the ballot in the Lions' box at the postoffice. During the course of the evening WilUs Sharp and Joy Christensen, of the Midvale Junior high school, staged a four round boxing contest. Both boys showed good form and pleased the assembled group. This part of the evening's program was furnlahed by Coach Aaron Horne of the high school. · IANY TICKETS SOLD FOR CHARITY DINNER Continuing their plans for the dinner and dance to raise funds for the needy of the community, the committee on arrangements has appointed four district chairman to canvass the city of Midvale to sell tickets to the affairs to be beld tonight in the Midvale Junior high school. Reports are that a large number of tickets have been sold and it is hoped that ISOO meala wUl be served during the evening.

' The chairmen are Thomas J. Forman, covering the southeast part of the city; L. C. Canning in the southwest quarter; Eli Mitchell in the northeast, and George Boskovich in the northwest. Each chairman was allowed- to select his own helpers and it was hoped that every home in the city would be visited before the dinner hour. The first table wl1l be served at IS o'clock and dinner will continue until 8. The balance of the evening wlll be devoted to dancing. The city is furnishing the foOd for the occasion and good music has been prom· lsed. It is hoped to raise a large fund to aid the unemployed, afflicted and needy of the city during the Christmal boUdaya. J. H. Manson, inventor and owner of the patents on the Manson air brake for automobiles and airplanes has definitely announced that his product wU1 be manufactured and dl8· trlbuted in Midvale. The firm which has been incorporated to produce the brake has arranged for a portion of the buildings of the Western Steel and Foundry- company, leases on which have been taken by the Universal Glass and Manufacturing company, and those in charge of the corporation expect production to begin within 30 days The Manson Air Brake Dl.atributing company is being formed here by ff. M. Woolf and Frank S. Shirley. Mr. Woolf is saJesmanager for the Kid· vale Home Finance Corporation and Mr. Shirley is the distributor in five !llates for the Echophone radio, and a home owner in the Finance corporatiorl's poultry pro1ect. This firm will distribute the entire output of the Manson factory, it is said. BemodeUng Shops The first brakes produced wl1l be used to replace the conventional types of brakes now used on automobUea, but it is hoped before long to produce brakes for installation on new can at the factories. Arrangements are going forward to remodel the machine shopl at the old foundry plant for production of the brakes. "This brake is an outstancUng piece of automotive engineering," said Mr. Woolf in outlining the compuy"s program. "It is a revolutionary idea, but one that has four points that place it high above anvthing of Ia kind on the market. These are, ta efficiency, its economy of installation. its absolute equalization on all four wheels, and its lack of the necea.tty of adjustment. Control Aaaured "It has been shown by teats :n1ade by Mr. Manson in more than 90,000 miles of experiments over all kinds of roads and in all sections of the United States, that this brake give. the driver absolute control of hl8 car at all times, without showing any appreciable wear on the brake umnl'." Mr. Manson was in Midvale a short time ago and demonstrated a worldag model of his invention at a meetmc of the Lions club. At that time he told of his teRt" nf thA b...,lr• AUcJ ,.__ plaiDed its working mecbanf...,, Ifill model he exhibiteu had. he said, been used on one automobUe for more than 40,000 miles of hard driving, and the lining of the brake showed sea.rcely any wear. Plenty of Power ''This condition," Mr. Manson explained, "is due to the fact that ~ brake is the only one on the market whfch acts on 100 per cent of hrake drum surface. It gives lll&llY times the braking power with a minlmum of pressure." The bringing of the brake factory to Midvale Is another achievement tar the locality. More local men wiU employed and when the panda to a point where present mlllca-: tiona show it will expand to, suits will be favorably felt upon business of the community.
