Mr Campbell Who Will

Start Work Soon

The Glass Insulator Company has awarded Marcus Campbell the con­tract to build its plant on Anaheim Road. There will be seven buildings in all and a loading platform. The cost of the plant will total something between $7000 and $8000. The main building will cost .

Mr. Campbell will start work on the principal building right away. This will be 60 by 85. Each wing will be 30 by 85. This structure will com­prise one room, whose walls will reach skywards 24 feet before they come to the plates. The roof will project a number of feet from these plates. This will be called the melt­ing furnace room. The walls are built to such a height to prevent the building from catching fire from the furnace.

Besides this main building there will be a garage and store room, an office, a machinery building, a lime and soda room, a cullet structure, sand building, and a loading platform where freight will be received and shipped.

The garage will be 18x30. Besides a room in which to keep automobiles this will he utilized for storing things in.

The office will be ample in size and will serve the purpose of the company in every way. This will be lo­cated near the gate of a high board fence which will encircle the plant.

The machinery building will have a concrete floor and will he 25 by 50. In this building, as soon as it arrives from the east will be installed motors, the rest of the electrical appara­tus, and mechanical appliances.

The lime and soda room will be 30 by 50. This is one of the princi­pal buildings of a glass plant.

Besides the buildings already enu­merated there will be a cullet struct­ure and a sand room. The cullet building will be 30 by 30, and the sand structure will be 30 by 40. The cullet room will have three walls of 4 feet each in height.

The loading platform will have a length of 50 feet.

The width of this platform will be 10 feet. At each end will be a wing projecting towards the center of the yard. When finished this platform will be the shape of half a rectangle.

The buildings will be scattered throughout the ten acres of land re­cently purchased by the Glass In­sulator company.

A track connecting the plant with the Pacific Electric track running between San Pedro and Long Beach, will he laid in three weeks. This will be about 4000 feet in length, according to the contractor Marcus Campbell.

The construction of these buildings is but the inception of a big industry. When the plant is entirely erected it will represent an expenditure of many thousands of dollars. This group of buildings Contractor Camp­bell will erect constitutes but one unit, according to the original plans of the company. When the entire plant is finished, glassware of all kinds and descriptions will he manu­factured by the company. At the first the company will content itself with manufacturing glassware such as insulators. In time the company will manufacture plate glass, glass bulbs, and other articles necessitat­ing great skill and delicate machinery.

The announcement of the location of this factory in Long Beach was chronicled at length in these col­umns of the Telegram several weeks ago. The company is composed of Los Angeles and Long Beach capital­ists. Several other places were seek­ing the plant, but Long Beach ap­pealed so highly to the promoters that they really considered this city in a class by itself, and though ne­gotiating with Redondo and other towns, always had "their wagon hitched to" Long Beach.
