M. Hollings- head plant. This custom contract which was received recently represents the first time the Lestoil Company has allowed its product to be made in this country. Previously, it had been pro duced at the Lestoil plant in Holyoke, Mass. In an interview with The Statesman this week, Hollingshead's plant man- ager Lloyd Cliflon saîd the contract would add significantly to the volume of production at the Bowmanville plant. To handie it, a considerable amount of new machinery had to be installed. Mr. Cliftoni is slîown here with the machine which fijus and labels the bottles at a fantastic rate of speed. The, Lestoil Company also insisted that Canadian components should be used as much as possible and Mr. Clifton said that ahl except one particular ingredient wa,- being purchased in this country.
