The Wellman-Seaver-Morgan Company, Cleveland, O., announce that during the first eight months of this year they have sold fifty-six 10-foot W-S-M type "L" full mechanically operated gas producers, and two 8-foot producers of the same type. One of the 10-foot producers went to each of the Mississippi Glass Company, Port Allegany, Pa., and the Hemingray Glass Company, Muncie, Ind. An 8-foot producer was installed at the Hygeia Glass Company, Lancaster, N. Y. A number of installations were made for some of the very large steel manufacturers, such as sixteen at the Bethlehem Steel Company, Lackawanna, N. Y., seven in their Sparrows Point, Md., plant and six in their Steelton, Pa., plant. Eighteen were put in for the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, Minnequa, Col. The sales make a total of 210 units placed in this country and abroad since the W-S-M type ''L" producer was put on the market early in 1923. Previous to this time the Wellman-Seaver-Morgan Company manufactured the well-known Hughes type of gas producer, of which 1,100 machines were placed in operation over a period of seventeen years. The company states that the new type "L" has proved to be an improvement over the Hughes producer formerly manufactured.
