Here work 1,300 men. Out of the plant comes a stream of glass, 24 carloads a week, 25 tons to the car.

From its roof tower 13 giant smokestacks which stand above rows of roaring fires. 'These fires cook enormovs« pots of white hot liquid glass which boil and foam for hours.

Workmen are now being assembled at Ottawa to build the Starved Rock dam. That is a $2,000,000 project. The payroll for the job will run about $200,000. Otherwise the in-- vestment will be mostly materials. Illinois will furnish practically all of them. 'This dam alone is expected to have a potential capacity of about 16,000 horsepower.
