OOMAMOHE BEIGE PLANT
TO RESUME OPERATIONS
Big Contracts in Sight—Oeo. L.
Sullivan to Have Charge.
The Comanche Briek Plant will
resume operations at an caHy date.
Laat week the machinery was
cleaned and trained up and it is1
now ready to bigin operations as
soon as materials are at band.
Geo/ L. Sujlivan has been em-
ployed to operate the plant and
the confidence the people of Cota-
anche have in his ability leads
them to believe he will make the
plant go. Mr. Sullivan is a man
c<i]>able of doing big things and it
takes that kind of man to rankj a
brick plant go, as it is essentially a
big business.
Already some Urge coni rods
arc at baud and the initial run will
are already contracted for. |
The operation of the Comanche
f to
rholc
and the entire citizenship should
get behind the oepration of this
industry for when steadily run-
ning the plant will give work for
a large force of men.
We believe the owners of the
plant have secured the right man
to bundle the proposition and we
expect to see it made go.
