Mr. Hoopman writes:
"At the present time, your plant

conclusion that one statement will
cover the situation, that Is, the
plant's progress has been startling.
We have surprised ourselves on the
volume of business that has been
done, and as the demand for your
company's products continues to In
crease, we see no limit to the final

will be necessary to build five acres
