BIG NEW TANK WAS READY


MEANS EMPLOYMENT FOR 200


Glassworkers Will Start to Work

Monday at Hemingray Plant

With Prospects of Long

and Steady Run.


Tomorrow the new tank at Hemingray's glass factory, which had been in course of construction for many months, will be started to operate and 200 people will be given regular em­ployment. Many of the glass workers have now been idle nine months and they are well pleased with the prospect of steady work again.

The new tank is said to be one of the best and most modern in the coun­try and if nothing happens will last for a great many years. The Hemingray plant is now completely equipped with gas producers, which assures its permanency as an active Muncie industry. The improvements made dur­ing the past year have cost in the neighborhood of $100,000.

The company reports having sufficient orders in sight to run full time from now until the end of the present fire, about July 1, and the men who have enjoyed such a long vacation are much pleased with the present outlook.
