[LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE]

AZUSA. Feb. 7. — Announcement that the proposed plant of the Bartlett Nu Products Corporation would be well under way by March 1 and that in addition the McLaughlin Glass Company of Los Angeles would shortly locate in Asuza, was made by G. M. Bartlett, president of the Nu Products Corporation at the annual banquet of the Asuza Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Bartlett said the McLaughlin company furnishes the bottles used by the Bartlett Nu Products Corporation, the manufacturers of concentrated food. His announcement of the location of the glass works here in the future was a surprise to most of the banqueters.

Mr. Bartlett spoke briefly of the plans of the Nu Products Corporation, which he described as a close corporation financed by himself and a few others. He said the present plant at Pasadena must be moved from that site by the end of February and that the steel structure of the three temporary buildings is now being made in Los Angeles ready to be placed on the Asuza site when certain matters have been settled.

The banquet was one of the largest and most brilliant in the history of the Azusa Chamber of Commerce. There were 150 members, their wives and friends, seated at the tables in the Masonic Temple, where the banquet was served.

H. A. Green, outgoing president of the chamber, told briefly some of the outstanding work during the year. He said that 15,000 pieces of literature had been distributed, that 5,000 office inquiries had been answered and 7,000 letters of inquiry had been answered. He also referred to the part the chamber had taken in securing manufacturing plants and in campaigning to carry the flood-control bond issue.

Earl H. Philleo, newly elected president, spoke briefly to the work planned for the coming year by Chamber of Commerce.

Charles A. Huffman, the secretary, who has been reappointed, spoke of the unfailing co-operation of the directors and members of the chamber.
