Peru Electric Manufacturing Company issues new catalog

THE PERU ELECTRIC MANUFACTURING COMPANY, Peru, Indiana, has issued a 38-page general catalogue of its various electrical porcelain manufactures and the Laclede and Hercules carbon batteries. Unlike other porcelain and carbon manufacturers, this firm gives undivided attention to the making of electrical goods, and therefore naturally pays particular attention to the electrical properties of the material. The porcelain, we learn from the catalogue, is burnt with natural gas, the temperature being 4,000 degrees Fahr., thus producing an excellent insulating glaze, and the carbon used in the batteries is also made from natural gas.
