Fruit Jar Plant Being Razed.

The main building of the old Wilson & McCulloch fruit jar factory at Fairmount, Ind., which is owned by Ball Bros., of Muncie, is being razed. This was the second factory built in Fairmount after the discovery of natural gas and was operated for many years as a fruit jar factory under the old style of making jars. Later it was sold to Wilson & McCulloch, of Marion, and they afterwards installed blowing machines.
