The present factory site is at 321 East Twenty-ninth street which building they erected in 1919. The new plant, located at the southeast corner of Forty-seventh and Whipple streets, is a modern building of nearly 73,000 square feet, with a sprinkler system, and is located on over 110,000 square feet of land with a railroad siding.
