I was told that parts for every well-known make of American automobile, except one, have been and are being made in one or both of these plants. Them, are generally parts that're- quire great exactness. fine skill and precision " measurements. They are things like needle-valves. line screws and delicate parts of speedometer-s. Some single orders have run into mil- lions of pieces. The jobs come because these plums, with their veteran works men, an turn them out in quantity with ma: exactness But other things are made. also. Grey-mm castings and metal stamped 'tords. The Parsons Casket Hardware Co. makes metal parts and ornamenzal accessories for coftins, A visii to this, plant shorts that we, as n nation, are burying fortunes in gold and silver with our dead.
